Customer Rating: Summary: So worth it! Comment: Yes, this mat is heavy. But it is so worth it. It is a little slippery when you first get it but that was solved with a few quick washes. Washing it is so easy because it does not absorb any water like regular mats do- due to it's closed cell construction. I have been able to get deeper into some poses than I ever have before due to the grip. My wrist don't hurt so much anymore either because of the cushion. I love the extra length even though I'm only 5'8'. This is the last mat I will ever have to buy and it's a great investment!! No wonder so many yoga teachers have this mat. Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent yoga mat! Comment: The Manduka 85" Black Mat is an extremely good mat for yoga. I purchased one from Amazon to replace a $12 one from Walmart that had lasted about a year, but was now beginning to disintegrate. I can honestly say I am delighted with the (much more expensive) Manduka - it is a quality piece of gear that I predict will last and last.
When you receive the mat you will notice it is fairly slippery on its 'upper' side. This is mentioned on the packing and they have advice for how to clean it off and make it as tacky as you would expect. I did it by simply taking the mat outside, spraying it down with a hose, and leaving it outside to dry (which it does quickly, as water runs right off it). The following morning the mat was perfect; just the right amount of grip.
In summary - this mat is weighty (but not unmanageable), looks to be hardwearing, is just the right thickness and lays perfectly flat with no curl-up, and has the perfect grip (after cleaning, as above). I do not think I will ever need to replace it!
Nice one, Manduka. Customer Rating: Summary: Good product, good price. Comment: The mat is a great find. The 85 inches are all used, and the price was lowest on Amazon! Customer Rating: Summary: happy with this mat Comment: It's like they claim. Nice n soft yet firm enough to keep your hips, elbows etc. from hurting against the floor. Nice product and it looks of quality as well.
Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior over all. Customer Rating: Summary: Perfection! Comment: This is the perfect mat for me. Im 6'4" finally a mat my whole body can lay on. I no longer have to touch the carpet during Bikram's Hot Yoga! I also luv that the mat does not absorb sweat, leaving the towel to do its job. By the next day I am off to yoga with a dry fresh mat!
