What is the average lifespan of the eKO® Series?Updated 2 years ago
The eKO® Series is made of bio-degradable material and is more sensitive than the PRO Series and other mats that are made of more synthetic materials. Since the rubber used for the eKO® Series is all natural and eco-friendly, it will break down and oxidize over time and with use. How fast an eKO® Series wears out can depend on different factors, like environment, use & care and frequency of use.
The benefit of natural rubber is that it has a nice grip, does not need to be “broken in”, is a bit soft for the joints, and is a natural material. However, the trade-off is that since it is natural, it will not have as long of a lifespan as other mats.
To maintain the performance of the eKO® Series, use Manduka's Natural Rubber Yoga Mat Restore.
