Quick answer
Store your Nature Collection Ultra Yoga Mat rolled loosely, in a cool dry place away from direct sunlight, with the textured side facing outward to prevent curling and protect the cushioning.
Why storage matters for thick yoga mats
Thick mats like the Nature Collection Ultra Yoga Mat are designed for comfort and stability, but their extra cushioning makes them more prone to retaining creases or curling if stored improperly. A few simple habits can keep the mat flat and supportive for years.
How to store your yoga mat
- 1. Roll loosely with the textured side out: After practice, roll the mat starting from one end. Keep it loose enough to avoid creases. The textured surface should face outward to reduce stress on the cushioning layer. A tight roll can cause the mat to curl at the edges over time.
- 2. Store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight: Keep the mat in a closet or under a bed where temperatures stay moderate. Direct sunlight and heat can break down the material and cause uneven wear. Avoid storing near radiators, windows, or in a hot car.
- 3. Clean before long-term storage: Wipe the mat with a mild natural cleaner and let it air dry completely. Dirt and sweat can degrade the surface if left on for weeks. Never store a damp mat; moisture encourages mold and odors.
- 4. Use a mat strap or carry bag for travel: If you take your mat to the studio, a strap or bag keeps it secure without crushing the foam. Avoid compressing it in a packed gym bag. Constant compression can flatten the cushioning and reduce its shock absorption.
