Gruper TPE 6mm vs JadeYoga Harmony 2.0 68" Yoga Mat Comparison


Gruper TPE 6mm
The Gruper is a 6mm TPE mat aimed at the budget end of the market, built in two bonded layers with a different non-slip texture on each face: a fine S-pattern on top and a corrugated grip underneath. At 72 by 24 inches it runs longer than most mats near this price, and at 2.6 pounds it is easy to carry, with a strap and a storage bag included. TPE is latex-free and PVC-free and feels softer underfoot than PVC, though it wears faster than rubber, so this suits home practice better than daily studio use.
JadeYoga Harmony 2.0 68"
The JadeYoga Harmony 2.0 updates the original Harmony with tougher natural rubber, improved grip, FSC and OEKO-TEX certifications, and production powered by renewable energy in Spain. Its open-cell 4.8mm surface provides strong dry and sweaty traction with moderate cushioning, and the mat is available in 68- and 74-inch lengths. Like other natural-rubber mats, it is relatively heavy, has an initial rubber scent, contains latex, and should be kept away from direct sunlight.
