Which one is for you?

As you can see in the table, there are very noticeable differences between the two mats. However, both have high grip and cushioning for yoga practices.

Manduka Pro series mats do not let in moisture thanks to their closed cell structure. Liforme Yoga Mat series has a heat permeable structure. It filters moisture and provides a comfortable experience even during intense Bikram-style practices. With the GripForMe feature, you can easily do poses such as Downward Facing Dog and Warrior on the Liforme yoga mat. It is ideal to use the Manduka Pro series with a towel in high humidity environments.

Another feature offered by Liforme is alignment lines called AlignForMe. These lines are guidelines, especially for beginners. It helps you decide where to place your hands and feet in poses. Alignment lines also provide convenience for many instructors. Many of them state that they provide more comfortable education to their students by using these lines in their classes.

One of the prominent features of the Manduka Pro series is the lifetime warranty it offers to its users. This guarantee means: When you buy a Manduka Pro , you can use this mat for life. Manduka Pro offers comfort in yoga practices thanks to its large dimensions and unique texture. Adapting to you as you use it, Pro becomes like a part of you over time. It becomes more comfortable to use over the years.

Liforme Yoga Mat, produced from the combination of natural rubber and eco-polyurethane material, is biodegradable. It is biodegradable for up to 5 years. The same feature means limited lifespan for Liforme Yoga Mats. The lifespan of these mats depends on the frequency of practice and the type of yoga you practice. If you follow the maintenance instructions, you can use the Liforme mat for 1-5 years.

Manduka Pro series, which uses high-density PVC that does not harm the environment in its production, is also environmentally friendly. Manduka has certified that the product does not contain harmful raw materials with its Oeko-Tex® certificate in its Pro series.

When Deciding

It is easy to decide after reading the comparison in the table and article. If you know what you are looking for in the product you want to buy, simply match your wishes with the features of the mats.

Is it a Manduka that you will use for a lifetime, has strong cushioning and is easy to clean? Or is it Liforme, which holds you tightly with its natural rubber surface and guides you with its guide lines? Make your choice and enjoy your practice.
