Manduka eKO is an eco-friendly, non-PVC yoga mat that balances high performance with Manduka’s signature comfort. This is a natural non-Amazon rubber mat with 5mm thickness, which is slightly thinner than Manduka PRO. Despite this, Manduka eKO is a very comfortable mat that has great padding and support for joints. The rubber ensures a better grip and stability than Manduka PRO, especially, for dry conditions. Like PRO, it requires a break-in period. Some yogis still find the mat quite slippery, especially, for hot yoga or when sweating. Manduka eKO has an extra, closed-cell layer on top of the mat to repel moisture and increase durability. Rubber mats typically shed quicker than PVC, and eKO’s extra layer definitely improves the mat’s resilience. Manduka states that eKO doesn’t contain toxic foaming agents or dyes, and that all post-production scrap is reutilised to reduce waste. It’s also 99% latex free, however, yogis with latex allergies may want to avoid this mat. Manduka eKO is one of the best mats on the market - it’s a good choice for those who love Manduka PRO’s thickness, but want a biodegradable mat with a better grip.
