My eKO Mat Has Small Pieces of Rubber Coming Off. Is This Normal?Updated 3 hours ago

Yes. Because the eKO Series is made from natural rubber, it will naturally show signs of wear over time with regular use.

Common wear can include small pieces of rubber flaking from the mat, particularly in high-contact areas where your hands and feet are repeatedly placed during practice. You may also notice changes in texture in these areas, with the surface appearing smoother than the rest of the mat due to regular friction and use.

These are normal signs of wear and are not considered manufacturing defects. The rate at which they develop will vary depending on factors such as practice style, frequency of use, body mechanics, and the environment in which the mat is used and stored.

As with many products made from natural materials, signs of wear are an expected part of the mat's lifecycle and reflect regular use over time.
