FAQ

How should I care for my rubber mat?

Natural rubber yoga mats get spotty. This is a normal process known as oxidation, which causes changes in the mat's color and texture over time and with use. 

White spots or discoloration can also appear due to:

• Exposure to sunlight/UV rays: Direct sun exposure is a primary cause of premature oxidation and discoloration.
  
  
• Moisture: Rolling up a wet or damp mat, or practicing on damp ground (like grass), can lead to spots and potential microbial growth.
  
  
• Improper cleaning products: Washing the mat with unsuitable, harsh products or certain chemicals (like essential oils applied directly, or strong disinfectants) can cause discoloration and break down the material.
  
  
• Sweat and body oils: The natural substances released from your skin during practice can stain the mat, especially if it's an open-cell material designed to absorb moisture.
  
  
• Creams and lotions: Oils or lotions on your hands and feet before practice can also cause staining and affect the mat's grip. 
  
  

How to Prevent and Manage Spots

• Proper Cleaning:
• Wipe down your mat after every practice with a soft cloth and a gentle, purpose-built yoga mat cleaner or a diluted vinegar-based solution (check manufacturer guidelines).
  
  
• Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive brushes, as these can damage the rubber.
  
  
• Thorough Drying: Always ensure your mat is completely dry before rolling it up to prevent moisture-related spots and odors.
  
  
• Correct Storage: Store your mat in a cool, dry place and keep it out of direct sunlight.
  
  

Regular Restoration: For natural rubber mats, using a specific natural rubber mat "restore" solution (often vinegar-based) can help add moisture back to the material, remove minor discoloration, and maintain its grip.

 

What makes Swan & Field mats different from standard yoga mats?

Most standard yoga mats focus on only one thing—either grip, comfort, or appearance. Swan & Field mats are designed to deliver all three.

Our mats combine superior non-slip performance, supportive cushioning, alignment guidance, and elevated luxury design in one product. They are created for women who want both function and beauty in their fitness routine.

Instead of replacing cheap mats every few months, investing in a premium mat gives you long-term durability, better posture support, and a stronger daily practice.

 

Are Swan & Field yoga mats truly non-slip, even during sweaty workouts?

Yes — grip is one of the most important features of every Swan & Field mat.

Our premium surface is designed to provide strong traction during yoga, Pilates, stretching, and strength workouts, helping reduce slipping even during intense sessions. Whether you practice hot yoga, vinyasa flow, barre, or home fitness, stability matters.

A secure foundation improves confidence, balance, and performance in every pose.

 

Why do your mats include alignment lines?

Alignment lines help guide hand and foot placement, so your body stays properly positioned during movement.

This improves posture, balance, and form—especially for beginners—but even experienced practitioners benefit from visual guidance for symmetry and consistency.

Better alignment helps reduce strain and allows you to get more value from every workout.

 

Is premium yoga mat really worth the investment?

Yes—because your mat is the foundation of every workout.

A premium mat improves grip, posture, comfort, durability, and motivation. It supports consistency because using a beautiful, high-performing product makes your practice feel elevated and intentional.

Cheap mats wear out quickly, slide easily, and often need replacing. A premium mat saves money long-term while improving your overall experience.

 

Do you offer free shipping?

Is Swan & Field a luxury fitness brand or just a yoga mat store?

Swan & Field was created as a luxury wellness brand—not simply a yoga mat store.

Our mission is to blend beauty, strength, and performance into products that help women feel confident in both movement and lifestyle. We believe fitness essentials should feel elegant, elevated, and inspiring.

You are not just buying a mat—you are investing in your daily ritual.
