Expert Reviews


What experts liked

It’s definitely not for everyone, but if you’re willing to put in the time and effort to break it in, the PRO may be the last yoga mat you ever buy—and that’s definitely worth a $120 price tag. It’s dense, very well-made, and guaranteed to last a lifetime.
This beefy mat is comfortable and stable
The Pro features a closed cell surface for quick wipe down cleaning, it’s 100% latex free and the top of the mat has a fabric like finish for enhanced grip.
The PRO mat is ¼ inch thick, providing just enough cushion for your joints without being too thick and soft.
Lifetime Guarantee. Easy to Clean. Eco-Friendly
The hardy Manduka Pro (appx. $96) promises to never peel, flake, or fade and is backed by a lifetime guarantee, making it a solid choice for instructors and serious practitioners. Hardcore yogis will also appreciate the proprietary bottom material, which gets grippier with each use.
for someone with a frequent practice, this mat is a great investment
- Elle
Reviewers like that this mat is durable, has a “sticky” and strong grip, and is backed by a lifetime warranty.
Contains no latex. Available in two lengths (up to 84 inches)
The Manduka Pro and the thinner ProLite polyurethane mats have legions of fans who praise them for their durability, which the company backs with a lifetime guarantee.

What experts didn't like

The Taj Mahal of yoga mats isn’t going to come cheap. At around $120, this mat is a pretty serious investment in your yoga practice.
has poor traction with both dry and sweaty hands.
This mat is not designed for hot yoga or heavy perspiration.
the only downside I could come up with in regards to Manduka is the weight of the mat. It really isn’t an issue if your practice is done mostly at home, but it is a deterrent to yogis who travel a lot.
Heavy. Slippery. Expensive
The price point is on the high side
- Elle
Takes some time to break in. Dense material is heavier to carry.
The lingering problem in our testers’ minds: The surface requires extensive breaking in before it’s sticky. The company recognizes this issue, and suggests giving these mats a scrub with salt and water “to speed things up a little” while breaking them in.
