X Yoga Mat 71" - 5mm | High Performance Fitness Mat | Durable Design | Yoga, Outdoors, Stretching | 71 x 24 inches

Wasn’t sure how I’d like this mat when it first arrived but I’ve used it a number of times now for hot yoga and I absolutely love it. Not slippery at all. No smell upon arrival. Perfect length. Overall quality seems good and durable.

Does not slip at all. Maybe too much traction for some people, but I love it. Also thickness is perfect for yoga and all sorts of floor exercises. Also quite easy to clean.

Best mat I’ve ever used. I’ve been doing yoga for over 20 years. I never bough an expensive mat because I didn’t think I needed to. I WAS SO WRONG! This is worth the price, amazing durability, I feel like I can balance better. My sessions have been more meaningful and the super grip texture is awesome. Be cautious, it can feel a bit rougher on your knees as far as the surface, but the density of the mat is nice and comfortable and cushions well. Can really work on any surface too. No gross chemical smell upon opening either. I love this mat.

This mat is very sticky, to clothes, skin you name it. It also is very stiff, doesn't roll out into a small size, but also doesn't curl at the edges, ever. It didn't smell at all. Nice color. I gave it 4 not 5 because it really isn't easy to carry at all.

Have always wanted a Manduka mat and I’m so happy I finally was able to splurged and get myself one. The quality is unmatched. The weight of the mat, the cushion and texture of this mat is just right. Love practicing on this mat. Thank you Manduka!

I purchased the Manduka X mat through Amazon after having seen it at a local sporting goods shop. I had been looking for the 'perfect' mat and didn't notice this on the Manduka site. This mat is great, it is deeply textured, lightweight (like the PROlite), strong, and 5mm thick (like the PRO). Also, I wanted a black mat. It is deep black (but comes in two other colors). The only noticeable drawback in this type of mat is that it can kink and show noticeable lines. It arrived with kinks on the end where it had been rolled tight for packaging and shipping. Time has not removed them completely but they are only noticeable to me and I expect them to go away completely. I have to roll the mat large with some care and consideration so as not to kink it myself. It is closed cell and dries very quickly. The deep texture means that I have to spend a little more time wiping it clean but it holds all of my towels better. It is also grippy, probably why it is touted as their 'athletic' mat. I think it is very stylish and the best looking mat at the studio, and i even like how Manduka stitched the logo on the side. One of those happy purchases.

I have had this mat for a few months now and I have to say, for the price you can definitely buy something better. Pros: The mat is thick, great cushioning for practice in a studio with hard floors. It's pretty sturdy and will probably last a long time. That's it. Those are the only positives. Cons: The texture of the mat is awful! It's rough and hurts a lot. It digs into your hands and scrapes up your feet. It leaves indents on your forehead during child's pose. The texture also makes the mat grippy but it grips/sticks to everything but you. It's impossible to get into a yoga bag because it gets stuck as it grips to the fabric. The fact that is doesn't grip to you isn't helpful at all during yoga, your feet are constantly sliding around in poses like warrior two and this makes it scrape up your feet even more. Oh and the tiniest amount of sweat will send you slipping and sliding all over the place. It's impossible to clean for me. Any papertowels I try to use to wipe it down get stuck and shredded and towels just get stuck and won't move, even if you wet them. I guess you could hose it down but this isn't an option for me as I live in an apartment. I tried washing it in the bathtub but even that proved to be difficult. (It shouldn't be this hard LOL.) And even though the thickness is nice, it also makes the mat rigid and nearly impossible to roll up (though this did get better over time). For $70 you can definitely get something better. I have an older yoga mat (do not know the brand) that cost $30 and it's far better than this one. :)

Love my mat! Love the purple color. Sticky enough. Easy to clean. I’m not a heavy sweater during yoga so it’s never slippery for me but when I clean it, I can definitely see how it could be an issue.

Ha un grip eccezionale, una texture molto piacevole al tatto. Un po’ più pesante del mio precedente tappetino ma molto confortevole.

Solid, great grip, feels great for working out

Gran mat, super resistente, y de gran calidad, útil en yoga o algún otro ejercicio de piso. Fácil de limpiar.

Después de 10 años de práctica, puedo decir que Manduka es la mejor marca de tapetes de yoga que he tenido. La calidad, el agarre y la durabilidad son inigualables. Son cómodos, tienen el soporte perfecto y mejoran con el uso. Son los únicos tapetes que uso y los que tengo en mi estudio para mis alumnos. Sin duda, si buscas un mat que dure años y te brinde estabilidad en cada práctica, este es el indicado. ¡Totalmente recomendado!

TL:DR- great mat with a long breaking in period, very thick and comfortable, DOES NOT SLIP very hard wearing. I’ve had the Matt now for about a month. I’ve read from other reviews and know from using my partners mat that there is a long “breaking in” period and this true for this Matt. This means that I’ve found the mat was difficult to roll up tightly, when I first started using the mat. At first, I found my feet and hands slipping from sweat during some yoga session but these small slips have become fewer as I have used the mat more. That all the negatives out of the way time fore the positives. The mat is very thick and provides a good level of comfort for my hands and feet. Additionally the mat is very hard wearing due to it being designed to be used with trainers. I have used this mat for some self body weight exercises where I am using trainers and for yoga and have found it very good for both. The mat does not slip on the floor no matter what I am doing this can be burpees or the downward facing dog it doesn’t budge one mm and is the main reason I bought this mat. Lastly I have used this mat pretty much daily for month and it still looks like it did the first day I used it. I know this isn’t saying much as it’s only a month, but if you look at yoga mats at a gym which is being used daily, you can see how quickly they wear out.
