Hi there. Welcome to the community! Those are both pretty good mats. I’ve spent the last year researching materials in yoga mats and, if you’ll allow me to make a suggestion, would you be open to considering eco-friendly yoga mats? The reason is that the majority of yoga mats are made with a highly toxic and non-biodegradable plastic called PVC and you can easily find many others that are made from natural substances like rubber and cork. If this piques your interest, check out our [17 Best Eco-Friendly Yoga Mats of 2020](https://www.doyogawithme.com/yoga-mats) and our article, [Be Good to the Planet - The Environmental Impact of Yoga Mats](https://www.doyogawithme.com/content/blog/be-good-to-the-planet-the-environmental-impact-of-yoga-mats). Eco-friendly yoga mats tend to be a little more expensive than PVC mats, but it’s really worth it. They feel better and are much better for the environment. Let me know if you have any other questions. ---

There’s a very eco friendly yogamat from [soweflow.com](http://soweflow.com) available for pre-order right now. (No affiliation) I do love David’s practice without plastic initiative! Let’s all make our practice sustainable. ---

I have scoured through the links you have on for yoga mats, as well as articles about eco-friendly ones online. I am dedicated to finding a mat that is eco-friendly, but I’m also looking for one that I will not slip on during my practice, particularly in downward dog. I sweat quite a bit practicing with Fiji. I am now using a hand towel at the top of my mat, which works, but is slips around and I get caught on it sometimes. There are so many mixed reviews out there on different mats, yoga towels, and yoga rugs. Do you have a suggestion on the type of mat/rug/towel, and then maybe a specific one? Any advice would be much appreciated! ---

I would suggest Liforme, Tranquil Yogi or 2nd Wind. They make similar mats that provide grip, whether hot yoga or not.
