Questions people ask first
Dry cork can feel slick. Mist it lightly with the glass mister in the box.

The Practice SetOur pick$199
60-day trial from delivery, free return label
Cork mats are slippery, and they flake apart.
Dry cork can feel slick, so the box has a mister. Flaking comes from thin cork or a weak bond, so check both.
I sweat a lot and I'm hard on gear. Cork care sounds fussy.
Care is three habits: wipe, dry flat, roll loosely, cork side out. If the bond fails in normal use during the limited warranty, we repair or replace the mat.
Every “eco” mat is greenwashed, you can't know what's in it, and premium mats are heavy.
You can check this one. We name every layer and print a 2.0 kg (4.4 lb) target weight. We hold no certificates yet.
A seven-day email guide, free with every order or on its own. It starts at launch. This preview sends nothing. Some answers are on this page.
We haven't had this mat friction-tested, so we don't promise grip. You get a mister, a ritual and the trial.
Give a new mat a few sessions to settle in.

$149 pays for about 2 mm of cork bonded to about 3 mm of natural tree rubber.
It also pays for the glass mister and care card in the box, and free standard shipping.
There's no launch discount and no “was” price, so $149 is the price.
The Practice SetOur pick$199
2-year limited warranty on the cork-to-base bond
The Practice Set and the Pair cost less than their parts bought separately at launch.
The carry sling ($29), the cork block pair ($49) and the cotton yoga strap ($19) go on sale on their own at launch, at these prices. In this preview they come only in sets or as add-ons.
If all the Practice Set did was get your mat to class and save $28, would it be worth it?
If all the 60-day trial did was let you test cork where you practice, free to send back, would you try it?
The mat is still in pre‑production.
| Test | What it tells you | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Supplier materials list | The binder, glue and rubber by name, and the latex status of every component. | Planned |
| Thickness and cork‑layer caliper | A production mat's real thickness and cork layer. | Planned |
| Weight on a calibrated scale | What a production mat weighs, photographed on the scale. | Planned |
| Peel strength | How firmly the cork holds to the base. | Planned |
| Roll test, both directions | How the edges lie after about 30 days rolled. | Planned |
| Floor hold | Whether the base stays put on wood and vinyl floors. | Planned |
| Independent dry and wet friction test | How the surface grips, judged by someone other than us. | Under consideration |
| Founding mats in real classes | How the mat holds up with teachers and students. Numbers appear only once they're true. | Planned |
Some of these answers may talk you out of ordering.
Not yet. This is a preview store: checkout is a demo and takes no payment, and the specs are pre-production targets. Nothing you type here is sent to us.
Dry cork can feel slick at the start of practice, so the box has a glass mister. The mist ritual shows how lightly to use it.
Still not right? Send it back free within 60 days of delivery.
Cork has a water-resistant surface that wipes clean. Wipe it after practice and let it dry flat before rolling.
Whether you still want a towel in a heated room is personal, and the 60-day trial is how you find out.
It pays for about 2 mm of cork bonded to about 3 mm of natural tree rubber. Standard shipping is free, and there's no launch discount to wait for.
Cork mats can flake when the cork is thin or poorly bonded. Ours has about 2 mm of fine-grain cork bonded to the base.
If the cork separates from the base in normal use within 2 years, we repair or replace the mat under our limited warranty (draft terms).
The cork surface wears with use. That's normal wear, not a defect, so the warranty doesn't cover it. To slow it down, follow the care card.
The target is 2.0 kg (4.4 lb), about a 2-liter bottle of water. We'll post a scale photo in the testing log.
The Practice Set and the Pair include a carry sling. You can add one to the Mat at checkout.
New natural rubber has a mild smell that fades. Air the mat out for a few days.
The rubber and the glue are named in the materials list, which goes in the testing log before launch. If the smell still bothers you within 60 days, send the mat back on our free return label.
The base is natural rubber. It contains natural rubber latex, which can cause allergic reactions. If you have a latex allergy, this mat isn't for you. Email us before you order if you're unsure.
We don't make that claim, because we haven't tested this mat for it. To keep it clean, follow the care card. Like any natural material, cork can grow mold if stored damp, so keep it dry.
You can try it, and the 60-day trial is how you find out. We haven't tested it in heated rooms, so we make no promise about them.
We don't name a country for the cork or the factory until we hold the documents.
Harvesting cork doesn't require cutting down the tree. That describes the cork layer, not the whole mat, so we don't call the mat sustainable.
The trial runs 60 days from delivery and covers everything in your order. Return all or part, used or not. We send a free return label (contiguous US) and refund each item at its share of what you paid. If you send back the whole order, we refund any express shipping too.
If something arrives damaged or faulty, send a photo within the trial. We replace or refund it without asking for it back. After the trial, the 2‑year limited warranty covers the cork‑to‑base bond and manufacturing defects in normal use.
Read the draft returns policy and limited warranty.
Yes. Enter their address at checkout (contiguous US). The 60-day trial starts when it arrives, and our limited warranty also applies to them. A claim needs the order number from your receipt.
If they have a latex allergy, this mat isn't for them.
We aim to dispatch in 1 business day. Standard shipping is free and takes 2–5 business days. Express takes 2 business days and costs $15. We ship within the contiguous US.
