We have our mats tested for residues by the SGS Institute laboratory at regular intervals
to ensure that the levels of softening agents, colourings and heavy metals are harmless
in accordance with the (EC) REACH ordinance. The test report can be requested at any
time.
Please note that the level of grip provided by the PVC and rubber yoga mats is reduced
by exposure to perspiration or moisture as the material is not absorbent and so a thin
film of moisture or oil can result in a loss of grip.

Who we are
LOTUS DESIGN® was formed in
1986 as a branch of Nyingma Zentrum Deutschland e. V, a non-profit
organisation for the promotion of
Tibetan Buddhism. Initially meditation cushions were produced, for internal use and for sale in the association
bookshop. Soon after the cushions were
also sold to other meditation centres, esoteric bookshops and furniture companies.
Since 1994 LOTUS DESIGN® has been an independent company, a subsidiary of Nyingma Zentrum Deutschland e. V. Over the intervening years
the range of products and the turnover has increased
steadily, so that today we are able to offer a wide selection
of goods for yoga, relaxation and therapy throughout Europe.
Meanwhile eight permanent employees take care of the smooth and
rapid processing of your orders and their shipment throughout Europe. We were
able to attract two of our young colleagues through the support of the vocational training centre of the Michaelshoven Diakonie
[welfare organisation] in the Rodenkirchen district of Cologne, and were able to open up a new professional perspective for them
in our company by means of supportive integration.
Manufacturing and quality
„We pay attention to quality and to social responsibility!‘‘
The manufacturing of our products is carried out almost exclusively in recognised disabled workshops in Germany. For example, the
leather workshops, that for many years now have been sewing meditation cushions, sleeping pillows etc. in various different shapes
and colours for Lotus Design® and Lotus Natural Sleep®. The experience and high quality awareness of these operations ensure
long-lasting products. We are constantly striving to use only natural high-quality materials wherever possible in our development
and manufacturing. We strive constantly to improve the quality and selection of our goods and because of this we are grateful for
any suggestions.
