is there plastic in this mat? it says "bamboo material with the clean lines of clear plastic." doesnt seem eco friendly

I think it has a protective plastic over it...it looks glossy and that's why I couldn't use it in the bathroom, so it went into the laundry room. It does not look like natural bamboo...:(

There is No plastic, only a fabric thin type backing....seems Eco friendly to me. but it is not only100% Bamboo front-as it does have this back (otherwise you would shift and slide a bit if it was only all bamboo on bottom). I am very happy with our indoor use of product & would buy it again.

Mine a fabric-y non skid type back. The "non skid" works ok. Seems Eco friendly to me. I cannot believe my kids have not destroyed this yet. It looks great!

No Melamine here! Only ABS plastic that is ABS and Phthalates free. There are new reports questioning the safety of melamine. I hope you will check them out.

Nope. It's not a crummy plastic type; kind of a fabric with coating on both sides. It does get dirty of course, but cleans up well.

Greetings, Jenni. I found the following representations on the Aurorae yoga website: All yoga mats are free from Phthalates, Latex and Silicone All products are SGS approved (World's Largest Testing Agency) Classic & Northern Lights yoga mats are biodegradable and made from eco-safe PER The towel is microfiber. The company touts the fact its products are "ecofriendly." What I can say is that I actually washed my towel prior to using it. I'm not particularly sensitive to allergens, but I did it anyway to get a nice clean fresh start. I love my towel. I have had absolutely no problems, and it is wonderfully soft and absorbent. Best wishes to you. Namaste. Written by Ginette Mayas.

The material is plastic. I went to their website to find out if it is BPA free. It states that it is BPA free.

No, Its all attached to the bamboo and not removable. Its really sturdy thick fabric though, maybe febreeze/lysol once in awhile? Or a sink wash and dry in the sun? Still ... it's a great product, really worth it.

The one we received appeared to have a cover with bamboo fiber in it. Overall we are very pleased with the mattress. I would call them to make sure what the cover is now made of. The sales people were very helpful when we ordered. Be sure to specify the firmness you want. We asked for the mattress to be a 7 or 8, with 10 being very soft, and we felt the mattress was harder than that but still very comfortable. ( that could be due to the fact that compared to the rest of the world we are lightweights at 145 and 120 lbs ) Good Luck

It is fabric inside and out it can be wiped out, but it is not slick plastic. I usually wipe every thing I put in it, the stuff to recycle.

I just took a closer look at it and there isn't plastic, but it is hemmed towards the front for use in a shower, so water doesn't collect and mildew. I would definitely buy them because the material in pretty and has a really nice hand. If they do show under your curtains you could easily turn them around or re-hem. You gave me a great idea for the future.

I don't know if they are eco friendly but if you search them on the web and get the direct contact number, they are really nice people and I'm sure they have come up against this issue (which is very important) so maybe they have products that are environmentally friendly if this one isn't. Good luck!

I just posted a review that should help, I no longer have the paper that came with the mattress, but I believe you can get the material from their website, it is a non-toxic plastic. and is very thick for a clear plastic sheet. I really cannot think of something comparable, thicker than a heavy duty freezer ziplock I believe, but not as thick as say an office chair mat. I was not disappointed with the money I spend on this purchase. Quite the contrary, I was extremely pleased with it. and still wonder why there is no law requiring hospitals to provide these and training on their installation and use to every new parent.

When I bought it a few months ago, it stated in the listing that it is made of bamboo. The one I have certainly looks and feels like bamboo. I notice that the listing does not say so specifically anymore, so maybe they have changed it? The only way to be sure would be to contact the manufacturer.

Nope. It's a plastic mat. However, it is nonstick with a rubber feel on the back. I'm sure there are better mats out there, but this one does well for the price.

The one I got is not made of plastic on the outside, there was a lining on the inside. ask the buyer you choose if there's are made from plastic.
