Manduka John Friend Collection eKO Superlite Travel Mat
Light, roomy and oh-so-foldable, this travel-ready mat is a wonder of space-saving design and eco-conscious innovation. With more room to roam, the John Friend Collection eKO SuperLite is 15 cm wider and 7 cm longer than Manduka’s Standard eKO SuperLite Mat.
OVERVIEW
More space. More room to roam. More heart.
Beloved yoga teacher, John Friend, inspired us to create a new, unique travel mat - a mat that goes beyond the 61 cm standard width to provide abundant space, superior comfort and real heart. These spacious, thoughtful dimensions make it easier to align your body, properly pace your hands and enjoy a deeper expression of movement. Welcome to 76 cm of pure possibility.

Grip & Durability (Top Layer): ‘Orange Peel’ surface texture is naturally grippy, closed cell keeps out moisture (sweat) from seeping into the mat and breeding bacteria for better durability.
Stretch-resistant Scrim: 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 dies.
USE & CARE
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 SuperLite mat in the washing machine, as it will encourage the material to break down (biodegrade).
To Store: Do not leave the mat exposed to excessive amounts of sunlight. If wet, allow the mat to dry before rolling up.
Through Manduka's manufacturing process, the eKO Series 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 SuperLite Mat is made from sustainably harvested tree rubber. Unlike other rubber mats available today, the foaming agents used to create the eKO SuperLite are non-toxic. What this means is that no toxic chemicals have gone into the manufacturing process to soften rubber; and therefore, when the eKO SuperLite mat is disposed of and biodegrades, it will not leave behind a toxic residue. And instead of using synthetic polyester for reinforcement, we have chosen to use a blend of polyester and natural cotton.
