for Unheated Yoga 68" x 24" x 5mm Natural Rubber Non Slip Sticky Eco Friendly Yoga Mat

Really! I JUST received this mat a few days ago and have only used it twice. I will update as to longevity and wear further down the road. I am so HAPPY that I wanted to go ahead and offer my first thoughts though. I have been practicing for (almost) two years now and shopping for a quality mat for nearly six months. I was keeping an eye on three brands in particular, watching customer reviews. Tomuno seemed to lead the pack in customer service AND product quality so I decided to go ahead and try their product. Prior to this I had tried one of the cheap waffle patterned sticky mats. It promptly left chunks of itself all over the gym floor and me in a matter of a few uses. Then I tried a rubber mat but it was so thin (2mm) that it ripped apart rather quickly. Loving the rubber, I chose another rubber mat, from a well known brand, but it was closed cell (Tomuno is open cell) so it was VERY VERY slippery as the sweat just pooled on top. Also it was very thin and would buckle under me. I also want to note that with ALL of these previous mats I had a lot of pain in my knees, wrists, and ankles. I had to carry a towel to cushion my joints and it really interfered with the flow to have to stop and reposition it. Tomuno got the mat to me very quickly (under a week). I had waited six months for a quality mat and I was so excited when it arrived that I used it right out of the box (no pre-cleaning) just a couple hours later at my evening class. The rubber smell was not very strong at all so I didn't have to worry about bothering my classmates. During class I had absolutely no issues with slipping (there are two sides to choose from) or the mat buckling. Oh! And the cushion! I just cannot say enough as to how comfortable this mat is! It is not "squishy" and did not interfere with my balance training. I can only describe it as firm cushion. NO PAIN for my knees and ankles. For me, that was a FIRST ever experience! To lay in extended child's pose or be in tabletop with no pain to my knees, to be in swan with no pain in my ankles. It just made my practice so much better. I want to also RAVE about the awesome customer service. Within a day of my order, the company owner sent an email thanking me for my order and wishing me well with my new mat and he also included care and cleaning instructions. He sent a letter with the mat including all of that information as well. I think the reason I did choose Tomuno is because I noticed that he responded to customer reviews and seemed very personally involved with his customers' experiences with his mats. I highly recommend Tomuno! The mat AND the company. Personalized customer service is such a hard thing to come by. Well done, Tomuno! Thank you!

After a few long sessions researching ads and comments, I decided to purchase the Tomuno yoga mat. The company appears to stand strongly behind their product and their intention to serve the customer. I bought a plain cadet blue rubber mat and have been enjoying the extra length and the way it lies flat without slipping on the floor or curling up on the edges. It provides enough cushion but not so much that it stretches during "down dog" or keeps me from balancing in "mountain" and "tree" poses. The rubbery smell has subsided a bit after 4 months of use two to three times per week. I rub it down after class with water and a towel to clean it-no chemicals. My only problem is sweating. I had no idea that the studio heated the room from 84-86 degrees, perhaps even higher now that we're in triple-digits summer weather. By the hour mark, I am dripping and my hands are sliding in any pose which moves into and out of "down dog". A hand towel helps, but I will need to buy a mat towel for the longer intermediate classes. My thoughtful husband bought me a pair of yoga gloves but haven't tried them yet. Therefore, because of the high standards of the manufacturer, I recommend the Tomuno mat and its performance definitely for unheated yoga as the label states. I expect it to be durable with proper care, and time will tell.

This is a good yoga mat but has a few drawbacks that make me wish I’d gone with a different one.1. It has a strong rubber scent. It dissapaites eventually but never fully went away.2. It’s not a slip resistant as the one my yoga studio has.3. It’s heavy!

I used this mat for a year during regular unheated yoga. It was great and I loved how thick the mat was and wasn't slippery at all. I decided to finally deep clean it according to the company's instructions. I washed the mat with the 50\50 vinegar and water mixture. I rinsed it very very well and after drying, huge white marks stained the mat. Next day when I went to yoga class I was slipped all over the mat so I couldn't stay in down dog or warrior pose for more than 20 seconds without re adjusting. Before I washed the mat it was perfect and had great grip. Now I can't even mentally get into my practice since I am so fixed on not slipping everywhere on the mat. I decided maybe I had done something wrong so I washed the mat again with same mixture and made sure I rinsed it out 100%. Now today it is almost fully dry and the white marks are even worse. After spending 75$ on this mat I am very unhappy with it. Who thought cleaning a mat for hygiene sake would make it almost useless. Only get this mat if you don't plan on cleaning it. I will be replacing this mat with one that is not so high maintenance to clean. I have attached photo showing what mat now looks like. I followed the instructions to the exact. Disappointed since I loved this mat so much.

The product arrived quickly and well packaged. The color was not what I had imagined, but it grows on you. The smell was a little difficult to handle and quickly filled the room. It's a lot better now. I've been using this for a few months now so I can provide a more precise review. It has a nice touch and grip when you run your fingers over the mat. This, however, is not how is feels when you use it for Hatha yoga. I am not able to hold my poses on this mat without constantly adjusting my stance. I feel like I am going to slip off the mat. The mat is heavy so I don't want to get a yoga towel and add extra bulk to my bag. The mat is expensive, so I don't want to toss it out or spend extra money use to use it. I wish there was something else I can do.
