Description
As Jade is made with open cell, natural rubber, you can say goodbye to slipping on your practice mat – even if it gets wet with perspiration. Natural rubber has long been used where safety demands non-slip performance. Jade takes advantage of the non-slip properties of natural rubber- resulting in the best slip-resistance on the market.
In addition to providing better slip-resistance, because it is made of natural rubber, Jade has exceptional resilience, unmatched “compression set” resistance and incomparable cushioning. These characteristics guarantee you the ideal mat for those looking for maximum comfort and performance.
Jade can be hand washed with mild soap and warm water; hang or lay flat to dry (out of direct sunlight).
Jade is constructed of natural rubber, a renewable resource tapped from rubber trees – containing no PVC or ozone depleting substances. Perfect for the yogi concerned about the earth and is made in the USA in compliance with all U.S. environmental and labor laws and through its partnership with Trees for the Future, JadeYoga plants a tree for every mat sold.
Editorial Review
An excellent natural rubber mat from Jade. The open-cell design allows for quick moisture absorption, while extra thickness provides stability and durability. The Jade mats are of the same quality as high end Manduka mats, however these are lighter and come in a variety of colors. A definite winner in all categories.

This has to be the best yoga mat I’ve used. Worth the $$$. It has excellent traction. I can use it for hot yoga and don’t find my hands slipping. Since the mat is thicker than most mats, it is heavier which means it does not move when you vinyasa/chataranga. While it does have more cushioning than most mats, it offers firm cushioning (not spongey or soft).
It’s made in the USA and of a sustainable resource – rubber. The mat does have a rubber odor that wears off in a few weeks.
This mat is thick, comfortable, long, sturdy and doesnt slip. The bad thing is that its HEAVY and smells rubbery. But overall I am proud of this mat. The quality is awesome but the price is steep
After using cheaper mats for two years now, I finally spent the money on this mat. Its longer, And for me being 6 feet tall it is very helpfull. The mat itself is made of rubber, not plastic, so your feet grip to it when needed. It has changed my Yoga practice. I wish I bought it two years ago!
Great so far! Perfect for my prematurely aged knees. Some critiques that I’ve read says that it wears out fast. Too soon for me to know. Not as heavy or as stinky as some. Fine service & delivery.
The grip and comfort this mat provides has helped me achieve more with each practice. Poses are easier and more enjoyable. It is a wonderful expierence.
Because of the thickness there is absolutely no discomfort on my knees or elbows. I love it! It is worth every penny. You will not be sorry.
