<em>&#8220;nice thickness and firmness &#8211; much better support for balancing poses &#8211; you get what you pay for!&#8221;<br />
</em><strong>Excerpt of actual user review on DicksSportingGoods.com</strong></p>
<p><em>&#8220;This felt a little heavier than the other mats we tried. The mat didn&#8217;t slip or bunch up while we practiced &#8212; even when we held our &#8220;plank&#8221; pose&#8230; It also nicely cushioned our back and head when we lay on it&#8230;&#8221;<br />
</em><strong>Excerpt of actual editorial review by The Wall Street Journal</strong></p>
<p><em>&#8220;&#8230;A month ago my yoga teacher suggested I buy a manduka travel-light mat for a firmer support under my feet; ILOVE IT! It is light and easy to carry and most importantly my balance has improved. It is firm but very comfortable&#8230;..&#8221;<br />

<em>&#8220;I love this Mat. It really makes a difference during my yoga classses I like to go to. It is sooooo stable and I do not slip on it&#8230;.&#8221;<br />
</em><strong>Excerpt of actual user review on SportsAuthority.com</strong></p>
<p><em>&#8220;&#8230;The very best yoga mat imaginable&#8211; indestructable&#8211; with adequate protection for knees, elbows, and head. Extra length is great for taller people&#8230;&#8221;<br />
</em><strong>Excerpt of actual user review on Amazon.com</strong></p>
<p><em>“…The Black Mat has awesome grip both on the ground and on my hands and feet. The top&#8217;s sticky surface keeps feet firmly rooted during balancing poses, such as Warrior or Downward Facing Dog. The bottom side remains stable on hard floors or carpet. This has to be the best mat I ever used…”<br />

<em>&#8220;I&#8217;ve used a lot of mats and have done yoga for a long time. This is an amazing transportable mat and it&#8217;s eco-friendly. After 3 days leaving it unrolled, the smell on my blue mat is FINE. The quality and sustainability of this product should make it a no-brainer. I love it&#8230;.&#8221;<br />
</em><strong>Excerpt of actual user review on Amazon.com</strong></p>
<p><em>&#8220;&#8230;It is easy to fold and put into my suitcase. Although I usually try not to I end up folding it about 75% of the time. I also liked it because it was environmentally friendly. It is also a great quality&#8230;..&#8221;<br />

<em>&#8220;I LOVE my Manduka eKO Mat! It is amazing&#8230; It doesn&#8217;t get slippery when I sweat, like other mats do. Plus, I feel great doing something for the environment by buying a a mat that is fully biodegradable!&#8221;<br />
</em><strong>Excerpt of actual user review on DicksSportingGoods.com</strong></p>
<p><em>&#8220;&#8230;I’ve toted around a few different eco-friendly mats and they have disintegrated not as planned but by my practice&#8230;  But how eco-friendly is it if I have to keep buying more eco-friendly mats because they don&#8217;t last?  The answer came one week later.  THE eKO MAT!&#8230;  THIS MAT and I have a long history ahead of us&#8230;&#8221;</em><br />
<strong>Excerpt of actual user review on Manduka.com</strong></p>
<p><em>&#8220;Nice and sticky and well-cushioned and extra long; the best yoga mat in the world. A little rubbery-smelling at the beginning&#8230;&#8221;<br />
</em><strong>Excerpt of actual user review on Amazon.com</strong></p>
<p><em>&#8220;&#8230;It is a few inches wider and longer than most mats and provides more padding for your knees when you are in poses like camel. Made with a dual layer, the eKO mat’s firm but ripply textured surface provides good grip for your downward facing dog pose&#8230;.&#8221;<br />
