Customer Reviews manduka PRO Yoga Mat 85"

Outstanding quality!! Super long & wide.

Best yoga mat of all time

Its the best

Love, love, love my 85 Manduka mat. My hands dont slip, thick enough to cushion my old lady knees, and the 85 keeps me from adjusting. Resting pose my feet or head are actually on the mat. This is my second manduka, if I would have purchased the 85-er to begin with I wouldnt have replaced it.

Very confortable but I have to have a towel. Very slippery for me. Cork I dont need towel and the vegan suede I dont need a towel. Idk odd.

After the recommended salt treatment, the mat is sticky, even in damp situations. It is firmer than my previous mats, but feels stable. I love the extra length. As a 6' tall person, I disliked always finding myself falling off one end or the other of my previous mats. This one gives me plenty of room to move around.

Love the color

This is the worst mat Ive used! I wanted to love it so bad because the density is so good for my knees but whatever they use to keep it from sticking to the molds is not good for heavier people. I have salted and scrubbed this mat multiple times. I have used mat wash. I make sure I dont use soap. I practice yoga 5 days a week. This may shows no signs or getting better. The more I use it, the more slick it gets. I want to be clear here. Im not a sweater. I actually bought the yogitoes towel but it only works if youre sweaty, if youre not you slip on the towel more abruptly than the mat. I feel like no matter what, Im fighting to stay in my pose. My calves and palms burn from the micro slip that is just constant and relentless. Dont know if this is a weight related issue but I hate this mat. It has made me avoid my practice. In trying to follow all of the advice on the message boards and FAQs I missed the return window, thinking the more I used it the better it would get.

Best mat I've had to date and I have been practicing yoga for over 20 years. Durable, thick and best part...sticky. Also, beautiful color.

I have been extremely excited for this mat to come in. I read a ton of reviews and knew the salt scrub was something that I was going to need to do to "break the mat in". I have performed the salt scrub twice and I still don't feel safe on my mat. The first time I used it, even after the scrub, my feet and hands slipped right out from under me and I fell mid class after struggling to stay on the mat throughout class. I then performed a second salt scrub thinking this would help in the process with minimal luck. I love the cushion but the top of mat "grip" is not existent for me right now.

Decent thickness for padding knees, feels solid. Just a little slippy at this point. Did the salt preparation and have only used it a few times so hoping the grip will improve with age.

Love this mat.

I like the stick ability of this mat, and my knees never hurt. I ordered the extra length to move around!

!

just right amount of cushion...a little heavy , but worth it

Little slick in hot yoga still but hands down my favorite yogi mat

This mat is very heavy, dense and slippery. Though it is thicker than my previous mat, it is not as cushy so I actually need more blanket support under my knees now. Salting it has not helped with the slipping and I can't do downward dog at all on it. The only thing I like is that it is a bit longer and wider than the standard size. I used to enjoy grabbing my mat for yoga class but this one feels like a slog to carry. I'm really disappointed, especially after investing so much on a supposedly higher quality mat.

Never touched a yoga mat as thick and resistant as this one! I still have to figure out the 'salt' step so I don't slide. I love the simplicity of it and Manduka's focus on quality rather than on 'looks'. Thank you!

This is hands down the best yoga mat. I recommend it to all my friends/yoga students. You have to be patient with the break-in period. This lasts about 10 years of regular use. I love it. I wouldnt use any other mat.

Good quality!

Perfect

They sent me a faulty product with a few rips on the mat which I bought at full price

Exactly what I am looking for
