Tri Layer Technology for optimal
combination of grip, durability and slip-resistance.
Grip & Durability (Top Layer): ‘Sea Grass’
surface texture is naturally grippy; the closed-cell surface
keeps out moisture (sweat) from seeping into the mat and
breeding bacteria for better durability.
Dual Function Cushion (Bottom Layer):
Thicker, open-cell bottom layer provides lightweight cushion. It
can also be reversed to function as the top surface for more
traction. Just flip over for a sweatier practice!
Stretch-resistant Scrim (Center): Made from
biodegradable cotton and polyester blend; Binds top/bottom layer
together with heating process, eliminating need for toxic glues.
Natural & Biodegradable: Made from
biodegradable, non-Amazon harvested tree rubber with non-toxic
foaming agents and non-AZO dyes.
Use and Caree
To Store:
Do not leave the mat exposed to excessive amounts of sunlight.
If wet, allow the mat to dry before rolling up.
To Clean:
We recommend using Manduka Mat Restore or a diluted organic
cider vinegar wash (50/50) and a damp cloth or sponge. It is
recommended that you DO NOT put the eKO Lite Mat in the washing
machine, as it will encourage the material to break down
(biodegrade).
Through Manduka's
manufacturing process, the eKO Series eco friendly yoga mats are
99% latex free, and safe to use for people with latex
sensitivities. However, if you know you are sensitive to even
traces of latex then we recommend you purchase from our PRO
Series yoga mats.
Green Mission:
The eKO Lite Mat is a natural yoga mat made from sustainably
harvested tree rubber. Unlike other rubber mats available today,
the foaming agents used to create the eKO Lite are non-toxic.
What this means is that no toxic chemicals have gone into the
manufacturing process to soften rubber; when the eKO Lite mat is
disposed of and biodegrades, it will not leave behind a toxic
residue. Additionally, instead of using synthetic polyester for
reinforcement, we have chosen to use a blend of polyester and
natural cotton. According to both customer feedback and
published yoga mat reviews, the eKO Lite Mat is a high
performance mat that is also good for the environment.
