We develop and produce yoga and fitness accessories for premium brands: mats, blocks, straps, bolsters, massage tools and recovery accessories, in natural rubber, cork, TPE, wood and organic textiles. In this category the material decides almost everything, from grip and weight to smell and durability, so it is where we start.
What we make
- Yoga mats in natural rubber, cork, TPE and PU
- Blocks, wheels and bricks in cork, foam and wood
- Straps, bolsters and meditation cushions
- Massage balls, rollers and recovery tools
- Carry bags, packaging and branded inserts
What to know in this category
Material first
Natural rubber grips well but is heavy; cork is light and sustainable but behaves differently with sweat; TPE is light and affordable. We test samples for grip, weight, smell and durability before you commit.
Custom shapes need tooling
Moulded blocks or textured mats can need custom moulds. Prototyping first avoids paying for tooling twice.
Chemical rules
Markets restrict certain chemicals in consumer products, such as REACH in the EU and Proposition 65 in California. We flag the testing your market expects.
How we work
- Discovery brief. Realistic minimums, target landed cost, materials and the rules of your market, before you commit.
- Samples and specification. We match the right factories, run sample rounds and agree a signed specification.
- Production and inspection. Our own office in China follows production and inspects before the balance is paid.
- Ship and launch. Export documents and freight to your market, with optional photography, ads and data analytics from our team.
Fees are fixed and quoted as per scope of work, with production at cost plus a stated margin and an itemised cost sheet for every order. How we charge

Questions founders ask
What is the best material for a premium yoga mat?
It depends on your brand. Natural rubber offers strong grip, cork is light and sustainable, and PU-topped mats give a premium feel. We source samples of each so you can compare them before deciding.
Can you put my logo and colours on yoga accessories?
Yes. Logos can be printed, embossed, engraved or laser-marked depending on the material, and colours can be matched. Custom colours and finishes usually carry higher minimums than stock options.
Do yoga mats need testing before sale?
Many markets restrict certain chemicals in consumer products, and retailers often ask for test reports. We tell you what your market and channel expect, and arrange testing where it is needed.
