Customer Reviews manduka X Yoga Mat 5 mm

I bought this for my brother (he is new to yoga) and he absolutely loves it! I want to get one for myself. The grip is amazing and it's super light weight. Definitely a must for a first time yogi who is into some cross training or the experienced yogi looking to switch up their mat preference.

It is sturdy, non-slip, and just makes practice so much better!

Great lite weight mat. A little rough compared fo my pro and prolite, but nice to stick so well in different asanas. Also love the color "magic" nice addition to my manduka collection.

I bought this mat a month ago, & it is fantastic. I practice Iyengar yoga every single day, & it is by far is the gripiest, comfortable mat I have ever used. It is not too thick, & lighter weight than the M Pro. Easy to travel with. The only thing I would say, is I would not use it for some asanas, that you need to fold mat & place on chair, but I just use a cut-up piece of an old mat instead. So worth it.

This is the stickiest and most supportive mat for it's weight that I've tried. I love the Manduka pro-lite and pro, but this is my new favorite. My 6' 1" husband has borrowed it and it's plenty big for him, too.

I bought this mat one month ago - great mat, I enjoy my yoga practice on this mat very much

Great mat that is durable for any workout. Very happy with purchase.

This mat is by far my favorite mat I have ever owned. It not only holds grip while dripping in sweat - I live in SWFL. It has shown very minimal wear and tear and I've used it 5 days a week for 4 months! I highly recommend this product to any one with a strong/sweaty practice. I will also add that it has been borrowed by my boyfriend for outside HIIT practice and he highly enjoys it. Five Stars.

I took the Manduka X on a yoga retreat to Thailand last spring. It was everything that I needed! Perfect size, lightweight, super grippy in the heat, and with as much cushion as my Manduka Pro at home. Would highly recommend.

I have had there mat for a couple of months and like it quite a bit! Great traction, not too heavy, and excellent cushioning. I was worried about the texture and cleaning but, it cleans up quite easily. The only negative is that it is difficult to roll up tightly and fit into my mat bag. It is stiff and tends to unroll. I solve the problem by wrapping a strap around it! I use it about 4 times a week and it is an excellent surface on which to practice! Namaste, John

Love the quality of this mat! It's a little thicker and great for my one knee that can be a little sensitive. (When I would do certain exercises on that knee, I would fold other mats over to have a little cushion.) What I don't like, and thought would be the case, is that it's a little slippery. I had to buy one of those yoga towels to keep my grip. I had looked at the texture in the picture, and thought it would be fine (I've used the thinner version in my yoga studio), but it wasn't as grippy as I thought.

The Manduka X mat is good, but since I sweat a lot, I needed to buy a towel to wear it on top of the mat, otherwise it was VERY slippery. I hope it gets better with time. I also did not find information about the salt technique for the Manduka X so I did not try it.

I recently bought a Manduka X Yoga Mat. I really like that it's rubber and pretty thick, so it works well. I was hoping it would hold sweaty hands in one place, but my hands do slip on the mat :(. That is not different that the mat this one replaced. I'll just have to adjust to that.

I bought this last month and ive been using it mostly indoors for working out. Havent tried it for yoga yet, but so far its non slip and sturdy. Its just hard to roll up, but other than that its great! Serves its purpose. :)

I use this mat about 2 hours a day in five different studios throughout the week via car, bike, and subway. It travels well and is dense cushion... If it were just a little bit stickier, I'd give it a total 5!

I was very excited about the look and thickness of the mat and really wanted to love it. But I found my hands sliding in downward dog and it made me uncomfortable. I ended up not using the mat

The cushioning of this may is great - a hugeness improvement over my prior mat. However, one of my major requirements was grip, and this mat does not deliver on that. When I used the mat finder function on the website, entering grip as a requirement, this mat was the top recommendation. I do not do hot yoga, and sweat level is moderate, but I still find it necessary to use a towel.

I've been practicing on this mat about a month. I chose it because the mat finder from the company recommended it. It feels great and is sturdy, but the second my hands begin to sweat I start to slide. Feet also. The website says as you practice on it it breaks in, but it's not any better yet and I might have chosen a different mat if I could go back and get the one with the built in towel.

I like the mat, but the grip isn't great during hot yoga. My hands kept slipping the entire time.

This mat has a nice density and cushion. Unfortunately, I find it very slippery and hard to grip even though the description claimed "superior grip."

Item is described as super non-slip. I slipped on it a lot, more than my other mat. I wiped it clean with water to remove any manufacturing preservatives, and still, super slippy.

Really disappointed in the amount of money I spent in this mat because my hands and feet slip on the mat throughout my entire practice. I've been using it for about 2 weeks now and I thought maybe it just needed broken in a little but I still slide all over the place and it really is not conducive to a good practice.

I just bought this mat after practicing yoga 4 to 5 days a week on a Pro Mat, I was looking for something with a good grip, needless to say I was pretty upset yesterday when I tried the mat and was slipping more than I ever has slipped in my 25 years of practicing yoga. I am bummed I trusted your description on the mat and the girl who sold it to me at my studio. I do not dear to bring this mat to a class again, will go back to my old mat. Very disappointed customer. I have looked all over your website to try to find information on how to break the mat in.

I was debating between the Manduka Pro and this mat and decided on this one because of the price and superior grip. As soon as I started sweating, the mat became extremely slippery. I would not recommend this mat if this is your reason for purchase. Otherwise, no complaints. Minimal scent out of package, decent shock absorption for weight/thickness, etc.
