What is the average lifespan of the eKO Series?Updated 18 days ago
The eKO Series is made from natural, biodegradable rubber, which offers many benefits for your practice, including excellent grip, comfortable cushioning, and a more natural material composition.
Because natural rubber is an organic material, it will naturally age, oxidize, and break down over time. The lifespan of an eKO mat can vary depending on factors such as frequency of use, practice environment, storage conditions, and how the mat is cared for.
This is one of the key differences between the eKO Series and our PRO Series. While the eKO prioritizes natural materials and biodegradability, the PRO Series is engineered for maximum longevity and is backed by a Lifetime Guarantee. As with many product choices, there is a trade-off between natural materials and long-term durability.
To help maximize the life and performance of your eKO mat, we recommend regular care using Manduka Natural Rubber Yoga Mat Restore. It helps reverse oxidation, restore the mat's appearance, and support the long-term performance of natural rubber.
