What material is Lululemon's The Mat primarily made from?

Lululemon's The Mat is primarily made from natural rubber.

The Mat 5mm is a layered, reversible yoga mat rather than a single-material slab. Lululemon identifies its base as FSC-certified natural rubber, which supplies cushioning and textured grip. The opposite surface is a moisture-absorbing grippy layer designed for sweaty practices.

For the listed product specification, the body is 55% natural rubber, 23% synthetic rubber, 15% polyurethane, 5% polyester, and 2% nylon. Natural rubber is therefore the largest individual component, making it the best answer to a question asking what the mat is primarily made from.

The polyurethane option can seem plausible because the top layer uses polyurethane-like material for grip and moisture management, but it is not the mat’s main component. Cork and PVC are also associated with other yoga-mat designs, not the principal material listed for The Mat. Because the product contains natural rubber and may contain latex, Lululemon warns people with rubber or latex allergies to avoid contact.
