Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Dara Mat?
A Dara Mat is a premium wellness mat designed in Conamara, Ireland. Combining original Irish artwork with high-quality materials, Dara Mats are suitable for yoga, Pilates, meditation, breathwork, stretching and everyday wellbeing. Supporting your wellbeing practice, whatever that might be!
Are the mats non-slip?
The natural tree rubber base helps keep the mat securely in place. The microsuede surface is designed to provide grip during practice and often improves with use.
For a grippier feel, lightly dampening your hands or the mat before practice can enhance grip.
What are Dara Mats made from?
Dara Mats feature a soft microsuede surface and a natural tree rubber base. This combination provides comfort, durability and a luxurious feel while supporting your practice.
How do I clean my Dara Mat?
For everyday cleaning, wipe your mat with a damp cloth and allow it to air dry.
For a deeper clean, Dara Mats can be machine washed. Use no detergent with washing machine. A normal or quick wash setting is fine. Extra spin is recommended. Hang to dry.
Do not tumble dry.
What size are Dara Mats?
Our mats are larger than many standard yoga mats, providing extra space and comfort during your practice.
Dimensions: 180cm x 63.5cm

Will the artwork fade?
With proper care, the artwork is designed to remain vibrant and beautiful for years of regular use.
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when not in use.
Why is the underside of the mat tea-coloured rather than black?
Shipping and Delivery
Do you create custom mats?
We chose a natural tea-coloured rubber base to complement the artwork and maintain a softer, more natural aesthetic.
It also means that no dyes or toxins are added to the rubber to keep it toxic free and as natural as possible. Tea coloured rubber is more expensive than black rubber as it is not as common, but Dara Mats will not compromise on keeping our products toxic free.
