"If you've read my write-up on the Sonella mat you know I'm a big fan of TPE exercise mat material. We've taken our successful Sonella mat line and refined it even further. The new TEMPO Pilates & Exercise Mat is designed for the most avid matwork practitioner and for pilates and group exercise class operators looking for a mat that will last. The TEMPO TPE foam is a bit thicker at 3/4" vs. the 5/8" thickness of the Sonella 15 and the TEMPO foam is slightly firmer. The TEMPO mat is also available in a model with built in grommets to hang the mats for storage. The surface finish of this mat is impervious to sweat and water so the mat is easily kept clean. If you need a mat made from better materials that's incredibly durable and easy to keep clean I can't imagine a better mat than our TEMPO even when compared to mats costing twice as much.

Toyota, Mercedes, Volvo and other car companies are removing much of the thermoset foam and soft plastics from the interior of their cars and replacing it with TPE. This is an environmental quality and health issue that is changing auto manufacturing resulting in environmentally safer or "greener" cars.
World class performance and durability. Whether it's in the studio, health club, YMCA or home exervo™ Sonella and TEMPO mats outperform. They're long lasting and withstand day-to-day use under the harshest conditions. Sonella and TEMPO mats provide a resilient, cushioned platform comfortably supporting the vertical and lateral loads of a pilates or exercise stance. TPE provides excellent traction dry or wet. Our Sonella and TEMPO mats stays perfectly flat on the floor. This mat will not curl on the edges, become dry and brittle or fade.
These mats [Tempo] are unbelievably nice! I taught with them last night and everyone loved them and thought they were well worth the extra $$ for more support."Both the Sonella and TEMPO mat design includes an anti-slip pattern on the bottom surface. In pilates, yoga or general exercise a sure foot plant helps maintain balance, control and stability. TPE naturally offers excellent traction. This characteristic combined with a top surface horizontal pattern and bottom surface anti-skid grip pattern makes all your foot and hand plants solid, safe and secure.
