What is the difference between a yoga blanket and a yoga mat?

Nowadays, many people have the habit of doing yoga. There are many benefits of doing yoga. First of all, it can adjust your mood. People in the workplace often feel that their mentality becomes impetuous. At this time, doing yoga can make the mood stable. In addition, doing yoga can also lose weight, improve body image, etc. When doing yoga, you can use a yoga mat or a yoga blanket. So what is the difference between a yoga mat and a yoga blanket?

The difference between yoga blanket and yoga mat:

1. The difference between yoga blankets and yoga mats in cushioning and decompression

Yoga mat: It is generally a mat used when doing yoga. Using a yoga mat can effectively prevent the knees from being compressed and causing pain when practicing yoga. Because when doing yoga, some yoga movements require the knees to touch the ground. If there is no yoga mat as a cushion, it will easily damage the muscles in the knees.

Yoga mat: Its texture is very thin and light. This kind of mat cannot protect people's knees well when used in yoga practice and can easily cause knee injuries.

2. The difference between the practical performance of anti-slip blankets and yoga mats

Yoga mat: Its texture is very thick and it has a good anti-slip effect. During use, the mat can be fixed in a certain position and will not cause injuries due to sliding. However, the yoga mat does not absorb sweat. If you do yoga directly on it, it will give you a sticky feeling.

Yoga mat: Its texture is very light and thin, and it feels very soft. This kind of yoga mat has very good breathability and sweat-wicking effect. Especially when practicing yoga, you often sweat a lot. Using a yoga mat can absorb the sweat discharged from the human body very well and will not give people a sticky feeling. However, the yoga mat does not have an anti-slip effect and is relatively unsafe when used.

3. Differences in the materials used for anti-slip blankets and yoga mats

Materials of yoga mats: mainly PVC and TPE. PVC is easy to wear, but the price is relatively cheap; TPE is more expensive, but more durable. There are many different materials used to make yoga mats, and the thickness of the product can better protect the user's knees and body. Yoga mats generally contain TPE materials, while PVC materials are average.

Material of yoga blanket: relatively soft, the raw materials used have good water absorption, and cotton or polyester materials can be selected as the raw materials of yoga blanket. Choosing such raw materials requires that the yoga mat needs to have good breathability and sweat-wicking functions. Especially when practicing yoga, people often sweat a lot. If the yoga mat is made of smooth material, it is easy to slip and get injured during practice.
