Le Mat has a very long lifespan if cared for with a bit of attention (up to 25 years). Thanks to the natural lanolin (wool fat), wool mats are highly self-cleaning, and the wool fibers repel dirt effectively.

To ensure your mat lasts a long time, proper care is essential:

• Regular airing and shake-out: After each session, unroll your mat in a well-ventilated area to maintain freshness. Periodically, we recommend to give Le Mat a strong shake-out, as dust, lint, and crumbs can accumulate at the base of the wool fibers. Thanks to its unique fiber structure, the wool itself is resistant to odors and dirt, ensuring a fresh and clean experience with every practice.

• Occational brushing or vacuuming: Use a soft brush to gently remove any debris or dirt from the wool fibers. If vacuuming, use a low suction setting and avoid pressing down too hard to protect the wool’s natural texture.

• Gentle cleaning: For dirt or stains, gently wipe the mat with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh cleaners to preserve the wool’s natural properties.

• Avoid direct sunlight: Keep the mat out of prolonged direct sunlight (store your mat rolled up in a yoga bag or in a dark place) to prevent discoloration, as wool is sensitive to UV exposure.

• Fold correctly: To maintain cleanliness, roll or fold the mat correctly—fold it so that wool is touching wool, avoiding contact with the bottom.

• Washing: Wool mats can be refreshed using steam from a household steamer (max 30 °C), ensuring to maintain a distance of about 30 cm as per the user manual. On sunny days, a quick sunbath of 5–10 minutes can also help disinfect the mat due to UV radiation.

  If washing is necessary, we strongly recommend hand washing in lukewarm water using a hand shower in a bathtub or shower. Machine washing should only be done as a last resort, as the mechanical agitation can damage the mat and lead to felting. If you must use a washing machine, ensure it is large enough and set to a delicate wool cycle. Use a biodegradable or conditioning wool detergent. Never dry the wool mat in a dryer, as this will cause the fibers to felt and harden. We strongly advise against dry cleaning. While professional laundries may wash the mats gently, they typically use dryers, which can damage the wool.

First use:

Before using your new wool mat for the first time, we recommend to give it a good shake to fluff it up, and vacuum it to remove any loose wool fibers. All mats are pre-washed and ready for immediate use—there's no need to wash them before your first session. Just unroll and enjoy!

The wool comes from Merino sheep on New Zealand’s South Island, where the sheep are raised in excellent conditions on large, free-range farms. The wool is sourced from mulesing-free farms, ensuring animal welfare and cruelty-free practices. After shearing, the wool is cleaned, sorted, and packed securely to protect it from dirt and pests.

The wool then travels to Prato, Italy—Europe’s historic wool capital—where it is processed by skilled artisans into the highest-quality Merino wool fabric. Finally, the fabric is coated with natural latex for a non-slip finish and sent to our manufacturer's facility in Germany for the final production.

Le Mat has a natural odor due to the lanolin (wool fat), which can vary in intensity. Often, simply airing out the mat in a shaded area can help reduce the smell. If the wool fibers feel compressed, hanging your mat outside overnight or in a bathroom while you take a hot shower can help restore its elasticity and fluffiness. The added humidity allows the wool fibers to regain their bounce and freshness.
