Customer Reviews manduka Ekolite 4mm Mat

Great for my vinyasa practice! Provides comfort to my back, hips and wrists. I've read many reviews that stated this mat doesn't prevent slipping and it doesn't BUT it reduced it drastically for me. Plus, if you're slipping, that should be a reminder to engage your core because you're dropping out of it. This mat definitely improved my joint comfort l whichever has improved my practice over all.

It's perfect for hot yoga paired with the equa towel! I just wish it had a warranty like the pro line! But I still dont regret my purchase at all!

I bought this a month a ago and I use it for my practice from yin to hot power. Not slick at all.

I bought this a couple weeks ago on the recommendation of a friend who raved about her eKO Lite Mat. The color is incredible, and I can't say enough about the amazing grip, especially since I sweat a lot during hot yoga. I'd definitely recommend this.

This is my first legit yoga mat, all the others I have had were cheap and flimsy. I'm so glad I went with this mat, it's durable and I don't slip when I use it. So worth the investment

This is one of three mats I have. The super thin one for travel, one at home and one at the studio I practice at. I like the textured grip and feel like I stick better. It's ok for hot yoga, still need a towel, but I sweat more.

Great mat! Was putting off buying a new one because I didn't want to have to deal with breaking it in... but so glad I did! The mat is super sticky and didn't need any breaking in! Love it!

Very durable, easy to clean, my feet love it. I would definitely recommend this to others.

Color is great. The red is not too bright. There is also horizontal texture pattern that is beautiful and functional and helps with grip. It smells like a natural mat, but hopefully with time it will fade. I love it.

I love my new mat! It always lies flat. It's nonslip surface is great. My only negative issue is that since the mat is black, it always shows white footprints. No matter how clean or moisturized my feet are it looks like I walked on it with baby powder. I'll get used to it. Also, I am 5'7" and the perfect mat generator suggested a 68" mat while I definitely could have gone for a longer size to accommodate wide stances and long stretching.

I know lots of people love the PRO mat but if you like natural rubber mats, the eKO Lite is the best one on the market. A slightly bouncy ride makes me feel confident and supported in all my poses. Plus, this new marbled color gets me so many compliments in class.

I didn't have any problems with slipping and it was so comfortable to practice on. Did have strong rubber smell but I left it out in kitchen for a few days and it wasn't a problem after that.

I was looking for a mat that would hold up with enough grip for a while now and this is it! In the past, my other mats have fallen apart but this has lasted me a while and is the perfect grip! (Squishy enough for my needs, too!) I also wanted a neutral color so the Thunder Grey is perfect! I would definitely recommend this mat to anyone looking to invest in a mat that will work AND last!!

This is a great mat for my hot yoga class! Good grip and feel.

I love this mat. It's light-weight and durable. The colors are great and love the fact that these mats are eco friendly and affordable. Love everything Manduka < 3

I really like this mat. It's heavy with just the right amount of grip. It doesn't slip on the smooth floor of the studio. It's not very thick or padded (I'd say about medium) as I don't want much beneath me.

I couldn't slip on this mat even if I tried. Losing your grip on your mat during an asana is yet another thing you shouldn't have to think about during your practice and this mat eliminates that issue. If I lose balance it's my own fault, not my mat's! The amount of cushioning is perfect for me as well.

Been my regular practice mat for the last six months. Wonderfully grippy. A great size- not too big (I and 5'7"). Smells fine; the rubbery smell folks have worried about never bothered me. Beautiful colors. A great weight. Seems durable.

I bought this mat about 1 month ago and I am loving it! It has great cushioning and I don't slip.

I've used this mat for a few weeks now and I really love how sticky the top is. I use it in non-heated flow classes and it's great. The colors are beautiful. The only thing I don't like is that the bottom is not very sticky, so the mat can move around a bit.

Super sticky which is what I was looking for. No need to worry about my hands slipping in my downward dog and me doing a face plant. The mat is a little narrow. And it's not as vibrant in color a you see on the web, but that's not a negative.

This is my favorite mat from Manduka. I gave it a lower rating because the color wasn't what I wanted when I purchased it. It's more purple than red and blue. Makes sense, but just disappointed that I wasn't getting what I thought I was getting. Opened it up to see if it was consistently purple, then couldn't return for a different color. Other than the color, it's a great mat! It's sticky/grippy, feels great, and the thickness is perfect. I have tried the Pro mats from Manduka and prefer this mat specifically because of the sticky/grippy nature and my sweaty palms.

I bought this mat as a travel mat and absolutely love it.

I've had this mat for a few weeks and the smell of rubber is so strong I haven't wanted to use it I don't even want to be near it, and neither does my partner. It's beautifully made and I purchased it because it is biodegradable and Manduka's May Recycling program. I'm really bummed that it didn't work for me, but it's going back.
