Meet Kulae, an awesome yoga brand dedicated to making high quality yoga mats, towels, and accessories all with mother nature in mind. Kulae believes in karma - in fact their slogan is “Karma is real.” In other words, Kulae takes environmental impact seriously, and is committed to making products that are all eco-friendly.

When it comes to product reviews, we don’t mess around. All of the items we review are put through the ringer of everyday use. You can trust that our reviews are non-biased and completely honest. Full disclosure: we don’t publish negative reviews. If a product doesn’t live up to our standards, we simply won’t promote it. Everyone has their own opinion – this is ours.

In this product review, we will look at Kulae's maroon tpECOmat mm yoga mat and the Elite Hybrid Yoga Mat Towel.

✦ Important details for Kulae’s tpECOmat 3mm yoga mat Wondering about the name? TPE stands for Thermo Plastic Elastomer - a material free of PVC, latex, rubber and allergens. TPE is 100% recyclable and biodegradable. This is an ideal material to use for a yoga mat, because it’s scent-free and non-porous, and constructed with a closed-cell technology to keep odor or bacteria from growing.

This same yoga mat design is also available in a 5mm and 8mm thickness, and all are offered in a broad range of colors.

✦ Important details for Kulae’s Elite Hybrid mat The top layer of the Hybrid mat is a bamboo/microfiber blend, while the bottom layer is constructed of eco-friendly material that grips to any surface. The top layer, which feels and absorbs like a towel but grips like a mat, is also antimicrobial and antibacterial - a huge plus for those of us who like to sweat but don’t have time to clean our mat after every use. Like all of Kulae’s yoga mats, this mat is free of toxins, phthalates or PVC’s.
