Product Description
The Manduka Mat (a.k.a. "The Black Mat" in some yoga circles) is the top-of-the-line yoga mat on the market today. It is extremely durable, dense, and will last about a century (rough estimate!) before it ever starts to break down. The fact that these mats lasts so incredibly long means that very few of them will see a landfill, making them a true eco-mat. Plus, the Manduka Mat is made from eco-certified PVC, which means that they are manufactured in a manner which ensures that PVC is not released into the atmosphere. The Manduka Mat is thick without being "spongy". Its thickness works to cushion your elbows, knees, and spine from the hard floor, while its firmness supports you in balance poses. Its durability is attested to by its weight (a hefty 7 pounds). Due to its weight, the Manduka is also ideal for home practice on carpet - it will sit solidly in place without bunching or moving around. Available in black. 1/4" x 26" x 71" (2" wider and 3" longer than a standard yoga mat)

One of the most durable yoga mats available, Manduka's black mat is made from high-performance material designed to endure a lifetime of yoga practice. The mat has a specific top and bottom surface. The top'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, and won't shift or bunch up during movement. The mat's 1/4-inch thickness provides superior cushioning for the spine, hips, knees, and elbows during restful postures like Child's pose. For safe practicing, the mat's surface remains slip-free even when wet with perspiration. Measuring 71 inches long and 26 inches wide, the mat is long enough for taller yoga practitioners. Though its 6-1/2-pound weight makes it a little heavier than other yoga mats, with more weight, comes noticeably more comfort. --Cristina Vaamonde

 Manduka Yoga BlackMat August 27, 2008
This mat was delivered within a few days with free shipping and an excellent price. I am very pleased. The mat is the same 1/4 inch depth as my other mat, however the material is superior, as it provides a firmer support and cushion of my knees, hands, feet and spine. I would recommend this mat and Amazon to anyone. I have always received exceptional service with Amazon.

 COULD BE STICKIER July 26, 2008
I am enjoying this new mat. I have tried putting it in the sun to make it stickier, but maybe I have not done it enough times. The smell did not bother me, I clean it with a lavender scented non toxic cleanser. I like that it is a bit longer, I almost wish I would have got the 81". I didn't because I read it was too heavy, and I didn't want to get in anyone's way in Yoga class! It would have been fine. This one is great too! I do slip a little.
I <3 this mat! July 2, 2008
I bought this mat about a year and a half ago and love it! It is very thick, which makes it much more comfortable than thinner mats. It is also very sturdy, which makes it a lot better for balancing poses than the typical squishier yoga mats. I was traveling last week and had to use a mat at the studio--the squishiness and thinness of the mat made my feet hurt a lot! I bought my boyfriend the purple travel one and he liked it, but thought it was too short so then I bought him the 85-inch black mat and he loves it!
Best mat ever June 9, 2008
Simply the best mat I have ever practiced on. You don't slip, though I do use yoga toes after the first half hour.
