The softness and comfort of using TPE material as a cushion is better than that of rubber. The rebound time, ease of cleaning, portability and tear resistance of the cushion are better than those of PVC material and not inferior to rubber.

2. Rubber yoga mat: It is synonymous with royalty, and the user experience is very comfortable, but it is expensive (a high-quality TPE yoga mat costs 100-200 yuan, and a rubber mat is usually more than 450 yuan). The choice of rubber pad must be based on the comfort of the material. In addition, its ease of cleaning, softness, and portability are excellent, but the price is really embarrassing.
