The eKO Mat is a natural yoga mat made from sustainably harvested tree rubber. Unlike other rubber mats available today, the foaming agents used to create the eKO are non-toxic. What this means is that no toxic chemicals have gone into the manufacturing process to soften the rubber. According to both customer feedback and published yoga mat reviews, the eKO Mat is a high performance mat that is also good for the environment.
NATURAL MATERIALS, PREMIUM FEEL: The eKO mat is made from biodegradable, 100% natural tree rubber and non-toxic materials. Its naturally soft, textured surface supports your practice while being kind to the planet
TEXTURED GRIP FOR CONTROL: The eKO mat’s unique surface texture enhances grip and stability, giving you grounded support across styles—ideal for strong flows or slow, steady holds
PREMIUM MATERIALS: 5mm thickness with a Rippled Catch-Grip Design. 99% latex-free, closed-cell design prevents moisture and buildup for a clean practice, making our mats tear and scratch resistant for lasting use
PRODUCT DETAILS: The eKO mat measures 71 x 26 inches, is 5mm thick, and weighs 7 lbs., offering superior comfort while also helping protect the environment.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS: Spray Manduka’s Natural Rubber Yoga Mat Restore, let sit 5 minutes, then wipe dry. Avoid soaking, sun exposure, and soap, which can damage the mat. Do not use a garden hose, vacuum, or washing machine for cleaning

Very durable and thick. It’s a great mat.
This thing will probably put live me.. it is so sturdy. It’s such a great mat. I think the only problem is that it’s so heavy that rolling it up it takes some getting used to, but I love it. It is easy to wash and luckily I picked a dark color because I’ve learned that bright colors on yoga mats stain and the stains never come out.

Great yoga mat
If you are looking for mushy cushioning, this mat is not for you. But if you want a good, non slip mat that will give you the foundation you need to feel secure in your poses, this is the mat you want.

Good mat purchase
Good mat purchase. It has the grip I need for Vinyasa, Hatha and Yin Yoga. I have not done any “Hot Yoga” yet. I believe it will have the durability I’m looking for in a Yoga mat. It does have a lingering rubber smell which is not a show stopper for me as it has been decreasing over time. The 5mm gives me the support I need and yes it is heavier but it is not back breaking. I take it in the car when I go to Yoga but can see myself carrying it without any problem while riding a bike. I’ve been using the Manduka Mat Wash for the break-in period and clean it with a damp cloth and water as well after every use. There is a Mat Review youtube video by Brett Larkin and she found the EKO to have better grip than the pricier PRO even though it has 5mm thickness as well. Amazon sent me the Eko Lite by mistake but promptly corrected the problem.

Smelly, but it works!
I read the reviews, looked up outside sources and kept coming back to the Manduka brand for hot yoga mats. I was only interested in the most “green” one available and thought this one had to be the one for me. All of the reviews are right…EXTREMELY smelly. I leave mine unrolled and in the garage when not using in hopes it will eventually air out. It has also spent a night or two outside (it does have a white underside, watch where you lay it if you do not want it dirty!). I have owned it for about 2 weeks and it seems to be slightly better. That being said, I thought the smell would bother me during 75 minute sessions of hot yoga. Does not effect me except when I am face down on it (I do also cover it with a yoga towel, so there is a barrier). I just throw my hand towel on top of it at this time and I am so exhausted and smelly that the mat is the least of my problems.Also, please be advised this mat is large and HEAVY! When picking up the box at the front door I thought there is no way this has a yoga mat inside. I consider it to be part of my workout carrying the mat to and from the studio. I did find a bag that it can fit into after trying a couple {if interested this is what it sells for on Amazon: “Best Yoga Mat Bag Tote for Women (Fashion Forward, Savvy Design, Bold Colors, Sturdy Eco-friendly Materials) – Cute Sling Carrier, Simple Top Loading Sport Bag Tote, Large Size for Extra Storage, Perfect for Modern Yoga Lovers – 100% Cotton Canvas Made in USA – Yoginiology – Fully Guaranteed”}Overall, this mat is extremely sticky and excellent for hot yoga. However, you will not want to keep it in your confined car until the smell disappears! And if you are looking for a light, easy to manage mat, this is not for you. But I still do believe it is the best on the market in it’s “green” category.

Luxury Yoga Mat
I was torn between this and the Jade Yoga Harmony mat. After trying them both side by side I went with the Manduka Pro. It’s two inches wider, feels much better under my feet and gets better each time I use it!

I Don’t Recommend It
This mat is affordable and visually appealing, but it has significant drawbacks. Despite claims of being made from natural materials, it has a persistent rubber smell that doesn’t seem natural, even after two months of use. The odor is especially strong during heated practice and might be bothersome for those sensitive to smells. Additionally, my hands tend to sweat while using it, making it uncomfortable to practice. While it’s non-slip and functional, the lingering smell, questionable material quality, and sweaty feel make it disappointing for anyone seeking a truly natural, odor-free, and comfortable option.”

Perfect mat
Good support feels dense and heavy underfoot, sticky so hands and feet don’t slide. Does have a little rubber smell up close but that’s improving daily. Great mat that we have recommended to many people.

I love this mat!
I love this mat! At 5mm, it provides the perfect thickness to protect my knees. I like the slight cushion it provides and there is absolutely no slip. Though it’s a little on the heavy side, it’s not too heavey. It does look a little chalky when it needs cleaning.I love this mat so much, I attempted to purchase a second identical mat to keep at home. I could not find the exact mat, but found a newer version of the same mat. The new mat, though the same model, does not provide the same non-slip level.If you can find this exact mat, I absolutely recommend it!

We use this for mat for body conditioning exercises. It has a good grip on the ground and just enough cushion. The mat rolls up and is easily stored next to the rest of our exercise gear. Very very pleased with it’s overall performance.
