Customer Reviews manduka Ekolite 4mm Mat

I like the feel of it but It is too small for me. My other Manduka is wider and longer. do you have this rubber version in a larger size?

I bought this about 6 months ago, as my first upgrade from the entry-level Target mat. I did lots of research and decided on this one b/c of great reviews. The smell went away after about 2 months, but the horribly bitter taste that is left on my hands (even after washing multiple times) stays for hours after I practice. Also, my Target mat was less slippery than this one, and I am not particularly sweaty. Nice length, though -- I am 5'8" and it's always long enough, love that. If I were rich, I would try another mat, but I'm not so I'm stuck with bitter hands after my asana.

I bought this mat a few months back and the rubber smell still is coming off of the mat. The smell interferes my yoga practice in certain poses when my face is on or close to the mat. It is made well but if I knew the smell would continue after months I would have purchesed their other mat not made of rubber.

I read a lot of reviews about this mat before purchasing and loved the colour, the eco factor and its non-slip features. I read that there was a rubber smell at first but that it would go away with airing out. I have had the mat for several months and the smell will not go away. I have aired it outside for hours, wiped it down with water and vinegar and nothing works. I have just been away for two weeks and came home to open the door of my yoga room only to be overwhelmed by the strong rubber smell. It is all I can smell in my yoga classes as well. I am very disappointed by this.

I love how this mat originally felt in terms of support! Feels great for how thin it is. Dissapointed by how much I slip though. I'm constantly having to readjust in class and sometimes I just bring my old mat instead. Would return but my puppy chewed a little corner of it off the day I got it lol

I am Very disappointed with this mat. This mat is supposed to be great for hot classes but unfortunately I was slipping all over the place. I even did a class that was not hot but my mat kept scrunching together and would not stay flat. I would definitely go with a different model or brand.

This is my first Manduka mat that I've purchased and I'm honestly a little disappointed since I've heard nothing but great things about Manduka as a company. I'm a little disappointed because the color of the mat is more of a blue rather than green and I've used the mat multiple times now and my hands are constantly slipping. I'm not sure if maybe I need to wash the mat off or what to do? It's not like I'm practicing in heat it's just regular yoga ...

I gave it to my daughter as a gift, so I can not rate how the mat

No grip. Bad smell. Did not seem to improve over time
