They’re here! Our new Meditation Mat Collection!
Stop the press - they're here! Check out our Meditation Mats and Yoga Mat Bags. When most people think of the benefits of yoga, flexibility and strength are often first to come to mind. However, practicing yoga can also have an incredibly positive effect on your mental health and happiness. This is because yoga increases body awareness, releases muscle tension and turns your focus inwards towards your practice rather than outwards to endless to-do lists, and work or relationship stress. But what if you have physical limitations that prevent you from practising yoga or you are tight on time and can’t commit to a full yoga practice? Thankfully you can still experience all of the fabulous mental health benefits and calm that yoga offers through the practice of meditation. Like yoga, meditation is often practised on a mat (aptly named a meditation mat - although a yoga mat would still work), and uses the practice of mindfulness to achieve a state of calm and feeling present in the moment. Although it’s possible to meditate while standing, or even walking, it’s most common for newcomers to feel less distracted while sitting on a meditation mat in the traditional cross-legged or lotus position. Why should I practise mindfulness? Mindfulness may just sound like a trendy buzzword, but in reality, it can be a complete mind and body miracle worker. As our minds and bodies are intricately linked, physical pain and mental issues like depression, stress and anxiety are closely related. Sometimes when you feel like your body is just one ache and pain after another, it’s time for a mental recharge. Taking a few minutes each day to quietly sit on your meditation mat and slow down to acknowledge how your body is feeling may actually help to make it feel better. Both yoga and meditation can also do wonders for alleviating negative thoughts and anxiety. Feeling exhausted and overwhelmed can cause anxiety and negativity to steamroll, and your mind to run wild. Sometimes taking a minute to bring awareness to these thoughts is all it takes to do a mental reset. Whether you grab your yoga bag and head to the studio, or sit on a meditation mat in the comfort of your own home, it’s incredible how energizing it can be to consciously take a few slow, deep breaths. Meditation mat vs. yoga mat - which one do I need? As yoga is a more physical practice that combines standing, kneeling, sitting, arm balances etc., a supportive, non-slip mat is your best choice. As the most common yoga mats are rectangular and require being rolled up for transport or when not in use, it’s a good idea to also have a dedicated yoga bag to protect your mat. Meditation mats can be made from many different materials but are often round and made from the same material as yoga mats, featuring intricate prints and designs. One of the most popular design motifs for a round meditation mat is the mandala. This ancient design with detailed geometric patterns has long been used as a tool for aiding with mindfulness and meditation - and it also looks fabulous if left out (intentionally or not) on full display. Whether you choose a yoga mat or meditation mat is up to you as it’s mainly personal preference - but if you can’t decide, there’s no harm in getting both! Why do people use a cushion with a meditation mat? For those people who find sitting on the floor uncomfortable, a meditation cushion or other additional meditation props may come in handy. If sitting cross-legged results in pins and needles in your feet or knees, or you find it puts too much pressure on your spine, a meditation cushion is exactly what you need. Sitting on these specially designed cushions allows blood to properly flow to your legs and gently lifts your hips so that they naturally roll forward which helps to maintain a relaxed, aligned spine. The key to meditating is to be free from distractions so the more comfortable you are during the practice, the more successful you will be. How long should I meditate for? The first few times that you attempt to meditate may feel downright impossible. However, the most important element to finding success with your meditation practice is to not give up. As consistency is the key to developing any new habit, it’s important to create an environment that makes you happy and to start by only committing to a very short time period each day. Find a peaceful spot to lay out your meditation mat - and cushion if you choose to use one - and just sit or lie down in a comfortable position for 1-3 minutes a day. Try your best to be fully present in the moment by breathing slowly and aiming to release any tension in parts of your body that feel stressed. By starting with a manageable amount of time each day, the more likely you will stick to your new routine. As this new habit develops, gradually increase your time as you become more comfortable with this form of stillness. Take your yoga practice everywhere with one of our yoga mat bags! With more and more people working out at home or in public outdoor spaces, portable exercise equipment and accessories have been flying off the shelves. Yoga lovers have been taking their practice to campgrounds, local parks, beaches and even the forest, looking for quiet, secluded spots. This has led to a huge increase in demand for both yoga mats and yoga bags. It’s no fun toting around a yoga mat that is continuously trying to unroll so a yoga mat bag will make your life a whole lot easier. A yoga bag is essential for carrying your mat to and from wherever your practice takes you as it will protect your mat from damage and keep it rolled up neatly to save space for ease of transport if you’re walking, hiking or cycling to your favourite place to practise. It will also do double duty as a safe place to tuck away your phone, keys or wallet, either on the way to or during your practice. Yoga mats are an investment worth protecting so it’s no wonder yoga mat bags have become so popular. Which mindfulness practice is right for me? Choosing a mindfulness routine that’s right for you may be a case of trial and error but regardless of which option you choose, you will begin to reap the benefits in no time. While the world may be filled with uncertainty at the moment, you can take charge and create calm for yourself with a few deep breaths and a bit of practice. Choose a beautiful meditation mat or yoga mat and yoga bag from Recycled Mats and you’ll be well on your way to feeling Zen once again.
Learn moreThe Beginner's Guide To Choosing Different Types of Yoga Mats
The beginner's guide to choosing between different types of yoga mats Congrats! You’ve decided to start doing yoga and are now embarking on the exciting task of selecting just the right mat to get you on your way. With a seemingly endless supply of different types of yoga mats on the market, it might seem impossible to determine which mat will best suit your needs. You may also be wondering why it even matters what yoga mat is best. It turns out, that choosing the right mat for your comfort and the style of yoga you intend to practice can make a big difference to your overall yoga experience. So how can you decide between all of the different types of yoga mats? Read on for tips on how to choose the right mat to get you started on your yoga journey. How do I know what yoga mat is best? Although many yogis traditionally practised directly on the ground or on an animal rug, modern yoga practices usually involve a more comfortable and practical approach. With all of the different types of yoga mats on the market today, varying in shape, size, texture, composition, and thickness, it can be stressful trying to determine what yoga mat is best for you. However, with some careful thought as to where you’ll be practising, the type of yoga you’ll be doing, your fitness level and your values, you’ll be able to determine your perfect yoga mat match. What Yoga Mat is Best for Learning Beginner Poses? If you’ve never practised yoga before, some poses may feel like basic stretches while others may feel downright impossible. Thankfully, some yoga mats are designed specifically with beginners in mind and come with alignment markings to help keep your hands and feet in the right positions throughout your practice. What yoga mat is best for active yoga classes? When deciding between different types of yoga mats, it’s important to consider the style of yoga you’ll likely practice. Thicker mats may be better for restorative or Yin yoga styles as you are required to hold the poses for longer and you’ll likely be spending more time sitting and lying down. If power yoga or hot yoga are more your thing, it’s likely you’ll be working up a sweat and transitioning more quickly between poses. How thick should my yoga mat be? When it comes to determining what yoga mat is best for you, the thickness and density of the mat play a role. Yoga mats can vary in thickness from 1.5-10 mm and each type serves its purpose. Thinner mats are great to fold up and pack in a suitcase, although they aren’t ideal if you’re practising on a hard surface as they can place pressure on your joints. Standard mats range from 3-5mm and work for most common surfaces. If it’s likely that you’ll be placing the mat over concrete or tiled floors, choose a thicker style made from a denser material. However, if you’re hoping to travel to and from a class on foot or bicycle, it’s best to go with a lighter-weight mat that rolls up easily and comes with a carry strap. When it comes to yoga mats, does size REALLY matter? When you’re just starting your journey into yoga, the main priority will be that you’re comfortable and that your mat isn’t distracting you during your practice. A good guideline is to lie down on the mat on your back and ensure that neither your head nor your heels are on the floor. The mat should also be slightly wider than your shoulders so that when lying down, your arms can rest comfortably by your sides without falling off the mat. You will appreciate this at the end of your practice when you get to enjoy Shavasana, or lying down pose (yes - that’s a real thing!) As you transition through different sequences throughout a class, you may not always end up where you started on the mat so you want to ensure that you’re not too cramped for space. If you’re constantly having to adjust your hands and feet to keep them on the mat, you’re likely to lose focus on your practice. Are there eco-friendly yoga mats? A fabulous eco-friendly option is hemp. As hemp fibre is only extracted from the stem of the plant, it’s another natural and sustainable material. Both hemp and cork are naturally resistant to bacteria, mould and fungus which helps to keep them smelling fresh regardless of how often they are used. Suitable for beginners with its anti-slip properties and 5mm cushioning, this Recycled Mats hemp yoga mat is an excellent choice. The tree rubber sourced in our mats is also a healthier choice as it contains no silicone, toxic glue, phthalates or PVC and unlike other synthetic rubber or foam, it's hard-wearing and won't retain moisture. In a variety of stunning designs to choose from, Recycled Mats offers their micro-fibre yoga mats in a myriad of colour choices too. As a bonus, Recycled Mats ships all of their products, including this hemp yoga mat Australia-wide and internationally so it’s easy to get on board with their eco-friendly options. The choice is all yours With so many types of yoga mats to choose from, you can also have fun choosing the colour and design of your mat. As you’ll be spending a great deal of time looking down at your mat during your practice, it’s important to like what you see! When deciding what yoga mat is best for you, be sure to take the time to shop around and know what you generally require in terms of the type of practice you'll be undertaking and in what sort of setting. Recycled Mats has a wonderful collection of high-quality, long-lasting yoga mats that are good for you and the planet.

Learn moreWhy do we celebrate?
Outdoor rugs for parties We love to mark the milestones and special days in our lives and celebrate the good times whenever they roll around. We all need something to look forward to and an excuse for dance, song, food, play and laughter, or simply show appreciation, gratitude or remembrance. Celebrations and parties allow us to be happy and experience and enjoy the goodness that we have in our lives. One of the most opportune times to bond with our families and friends is on special occasions. Humanity has been celebrating even from as far back as we can recall. Engravings on the walls of medieval caves show people celebrating, dancing and eating around a bonfire. And with the passage of time, we simply kept celebrating! Every culture, nation and tradition has developed its own unique ways of honouring special occasions and events. Their customs and traditions are a direct product of their cultural background, history, religious beliefs. NAIDOC Week celebrations are the vehicle of change helping all Australians to acknowledge the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. We are proud to promote Aboriginal culture and history all year long as seen in our large range of Aboriginal & Torres Strait Island Mats. There will always be birthdays and big celebrations like your child’s first birthday party, graduation, and Christmas Day. And these are important as well as fun, but it’s the mini-celebrations of the little moments and get-togethers that can have just as much meaning. Our fun Pink Flamingo outdoor rug / recycled mat is perfect for any pretty-in-pink party to set the scene. The Santorini outdoor rug / recycled mat sets the mood for all the Disney Princesses out there, and the Tutti Frutti mat is ideal for any tropical themed parties. Champagne pairs well with special celebrations like engagements, weddings, christenings or graduations with family and friends, and so too does our Champagne outdoor rug / recycled mat.

Keep it natural – with a ShooAway Fly Repellent No one wants their picnic or BBQ invaded by flying nasties. We spend time preparing the food for our family and friends... it's not a free lunch for those little critters simply flying past! So we have the solution – the famous ShooAway Fly Repellent. The ShooAway is an environmentally friendly way to get rid of all those unwanted and irritating flies, that's right no sprays needed. ShooAway’s are safe, non-toxic and child and pet friendly too no need for fly nets or toxic sprays. They are ideal for barbeques, camping and caravan trips, kids parties, picnics or entertaining at home – and the ShooAway even keeps flying pests out of your wine glass! Simply place the ShooAway close to food and turn it on. They are guaranteed to shoo flies away from your barbeque food, and are a great help when prepping meats. The ShooAway is also ideal for keeping annoying flies off your nibbles or cheese and cracker platters for when your family and friends come over. Pop one into your picnic hamper ready for the next time you set up your picnic table and enjoy a fly-free time outdoors. For larger parties, effectively use two ShooAways or more depending on the size of your get-together to keep the flies at bay and your guests safe and comfortable. Use one ShooAway outside to keep flies off the barbeque food and use the other ShooAway inside where the food is prepared in the kitchen. For a 6-8 seat dining table, two ShooAways are recommended. They are also perfect to keep flies away from our beautiful picnic tables once you have lovingly created your platter of choice! The strategically placed soft-touch blades rotate quietly and are safe to touch, making them completely child-friendly. Reach for food and the soft blades will stop when touched, and will start turning again once you move your hand away. ShooAway uses patented hologram technology – it is not the movement of the blades or any fan effect but the holograms in the blades that scatter and diffuse the light that the flies hate. Portable, lightweight and cord-free with motor testing up to 1000 hours, you can take your ShooAway on your next camping trip or family picnic, enjoying fly free entertaining with a natural bug deterrent, all day (and night) long! ShooAway’s also make great gifts – so why not buy an extra one and keep it handy for that unexpected gift. ShooAway is now available in both white or black to suit any colour scheme.

We are a BnB and all our guests think it is the best thing they have ever seen, so simple but clever" JJ said, "I was bought this as a gift for Christmas ( thanks Andrea ), now we stock them on our website. The first week we used it over summer, all of our friends had asked where we got it from, so we thought we might as well stock them!"

Why take a camping mat around Australia? Australia has some of the best opportunities for camping anywhere in the world. We have huge areas of natural beauty to explore - wide open tracts of natural bush, verdant rainforest, rolling sand dunes and long stretches of unspoilt beaches - coupled with efficient ways to get you to where you want to go. Added to that, there’s always somewhere on our island continent where the weather is just perfect for being outdoors, whatever the month! This makes camping undoubtedly, the best way to see Australia with your family and friends. Camping can be a wonderful way to experience nature close at hand and is ideal for enjoying quality family time....without breaking the bank! It can be as simple and relaxed or as indulgent as you like - however you choose to enjoy the great outdoors, having the right gear can either make, or break, the experience. Your choice of camping mat is one of the simplest ways to get started on your ultimate outdoor set-up. It will literally lay the foundation for any, and all, of your camping adventures. How do you pick which must-have camping mat is right for you? The first step to take into consideration is your "floor" space dimensions. Whether you're in a swag or a luxury caravan, if you have an idea of the size of the space that you wish to have covered, then that's most of the job done. Also think about how that area will be used and by how many. Your outdoor camping mat should be large enough for you to sit, dine and entertain upon but keep in mind that it can also be used as the flooring for a dedicated play or relaxation space, protecting delicate feet from hot sand, dirt, sharp sticks and stones. It can be utilised under a swag or tent to offer extra protection against the damp and as a buffer against any uneven ground. Your mat will also serve as an entrance to any "indoor" space where shoes and bags can be left, and help to demarcate your area in a shared camping ground. And not only that, your camping floor mat is easily transported, so depending on the size, it can be quickly packed up and taken on picnics, fishing trips and any other exploratory adventures. In all, the right camping mat will extend your living space in, and beyond, wherever you've set up camp! Another consideration to make is whether you want to completely fill a "floor" space with your camping mat, partially cover it or have the mat size extend beyond an annex to accommodate for shoes and outdoor equipment - keeping in mind that we don't recommend that you expose our camping mats to continual, direct sunlight. Whilst they're designed for the outdoors and treated with a UV protectant, ongoing, direct exposure to the harsh sun can lead to fading and deterioration of your camping mat over time. For more information, please see our care instuctions here. What Camping Mat Sizes do we Offer? Our small to medium camping ground mats all pack down to a compact size and generally weigh ± 2 - 4kg. Roof top campers usually travel light with the bulk of gear on the roof, perhaps with the addition of a swag. Whether you're at a dedicated camping spot or parked up on the beach, try our 1.8 x 2.7m (± 2.2kg) or 2.7 x 2.7m ( ± 3.8kg) mats that have plenty of room for most activities. (Pictured: Matilda mat 2.7 x 2.7m) If you’ve got the whole family going (especially with kids and pooches) then the bigger the mat, the more play spaces out of the dirt they’ll have. You could try our 3 x 3m camping mats ( ± 4.2kg) which are also perfect to pop up under a 3m square gazebo for the extra room that many of us need for meals or play while at the beach or campsite. When choosing a camping mat for your caravan annex, the size will roughly fall into the following categories: Small (11-14ft Caravans), Medium (15-20ft), Large (20-23ft) and X-Large (23ft +) For a complete guide on which outdoor camping mat to choose for your van set up, please go to our annex mat guide here More About Our Camping Mats Our UV protected camping mats are purposefully made to suit all your camping, caravanning and annex adventure needs. Tough yet comfortable, weather resistant yet stylish, they're also incredibly easy to maintain, fold up and pack away when it's time to leave. Not only that, all of our outdoor camping mats are made from repurposed plastics, saving them from ending up in landfill. We're proud to be doing our bit for the environment while still offering stylish, practical products that help smooth out the lumps and bumps of camping and caravan life. They're also super easy to keep clean. Simply sweep, shake or hose off and if a deeper clean is required, wash down and brush with a soft broom, hanging in the shade or lying out flat to dry. Eyelets come standard in all of our annex mats 4m or larger but they are an option on all other mats if you'd prefer to have the option to peg your mat down. We fix the eyelets in-house so there'll be no delay to your order if you do opt for them plus we use quality eyelets that won't rust or stain the mat. Recycled Mats is also proud to offer a range of camping mats featuring Indigenous designs that have been commissioned by local artists. These fabulous Aboriginal mats comes in a range of sizes and styles, showcasing authentic designs that tell stories unique to each artist and their culture. Likewise, our Maori and NZ designs have been created by the artists to reflect family life and the rich heritage specific to the region. All artists are paid 10% royalties on each item sold that uses their work, and we promote them as individuals as well as the messages they wish to share via their designs. By choosing one of our Indigenous designed camping mats for your outdoor set-up, you'll be infusing the space with the motifs, symbols and stories unique to these ancient cultures that implicitly understood and respected the wisdom of their natural environment.

Make An Impression! Stunning Entrance Mats for Australian Tourism Providers Commercial entrance mats add a certain magic to the foyer of your tourism business – particularly our beautiful Indigenous mats designed and made by talented local Indigenous artists. Decking out your tourism business in Australiana décor is a stroke of genius, adding to the authenticity of the experience your customers will enjoy. Your hotel, tourism information centre, Indigenous gallery, or other tourist venture will entice and delight with our gorgeous mats – all celebrating and showcasing the oldest continuous culture on the planet. Read on to find out more about our commercial entrance mats. Why go for the Australiana décor or Indigenous themes? When tourists visit a local information centre, a touring business, or a hotel in a tourism-rich area, they’re after that quintessential ‘Australian’ experience. They’re after the red sandy soil, the laugh of a kookaburra at dusk, the smell of eucalyptus, and the silver gleam of snake scales. Essentially, they’re after everything that makes Australia a memorable, exotic destination. That is exactly what our beautiful Indigenous entrance mats offer, and why Australiana décor is so important. Our Aboriginal entrance mats celebrate vibrant Aboriginal cultures, as well as the harsh but beautiful Australian landscape. With glorious colours and sophisticated textures and patterns, these iconic mats add a welcome burst of colour and life to your hotel foyer or commercial space. These mats are all designed by experienced and talented Indigenous artists who display a deep understanding of their unique cultures, while helping to preserve them. We also have a range of placemats, mousemats & cushion cover designs to compliment any accommodation areas, foyers, receptions or office spaces About the artists The Indigenous artists who design our beautiful entrance mats come from all over the country. From areas like country Victoria, outback Queensland, the Torres Strait, and the red centre, these Indigenous artists offer images from cultures based on the desert, the woodland, and the sea. The colours evoke imagery thousands of years old, based on stories handed down through the generations. Our previously stocked Manta Ray mat was just one stunning example, designed by Helen Price, a Queensland artist from Darumbal country. The vivid blue manta sails across a dark seabed, passing seashells, and leaving currents in its wake. In all, it’s a representation of the respect that local people have for ocean life. Our Emu and Kangaroo Tracks mat shows off something iconic to central Australia – our native emblems. Designed by De Greer Yindimincarlie of the Wiradjuri Nation in central New South Wales, this mat is a fantastic starting point for Aboriginal storytelling and symbology. It features emu and kangaroo tracks at three campsites, with the emu tracks heading west, and the kangaroo tracks heading east. At the centre campsite is a group of women, while the other sites are surrounded by men. Wherever your tourist centre or gallery is located, these symbols invite cultural connection and learning.
