Product Reviews of Jade Harmony Professional 3/16-Inch Yoga Mat
Product Review: Wore out very quickly
Summary: 1 Stars
I was reading the other reviews and a lot of them acknowledged that this mat wears out very, very quickly. Yet, still these reviewers gave 4 stars. I can't be that generous. I bought this mat for $60 and it was great. For two months! And then, it started to wear so badly that I would be covered in mat pieces at the end of each practice. I started using it with a mysore rug just to keep from getting gross.
My next purchase will be a manduka pro. For $90-$106 most reviews have said they last at least 6 YEARS!!! And it has a lifetime warranty. This is a bargain compared to the jade mat.
Product Review: definitely loses traction after a while
Summary: 3 Stars
This was the first mat I ever bought about a year ago since my yoga studio stocked them... Like others, I found the traction quite good for a long while, and the cushioning is good. I'd never had any problems with peeling. I practice vigorous vinyasa-style yoga 2-3 times a week, but in the past month, I've had to ditch my mat because it's lost its traction (not just with my hands, but also with the floor -- I can see the corners of the mat spreading out in certain poses). I did try washing it with dishwasher soap and water, but it seemed to make the problem worse rather than helping. I guess on one hand, $50/year for a yoga mat isn't too bad to pay, but I think maybe one of the cheap mats may have been just as sufficient.Product Review: good mat, very sticky
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this mat about six weeks ago in Tibetan Orange. I wanted something that would be sticky because my hands get sweaty as I practice. I chose this one based on the Amazon reviews I read, and so far, I really like it. I tried out a Manduka black mat at my yoga studio, and I prefer the Jade Harmony for its stickiness, and for its lower cost. The Jade Harmony did smell a bit when I got it, but that is gone now. The weight is fine for carrying. I especially like the long length of this mat. I thought the orange color might be a little too bright when I ordered it, but it's a nice warm color that seems happy in the low light of a yoga class.Product Review: not sticky after sweat
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this mat in high hopes after sliding constantly on a Manduka Black Mat. At first it seemed I had finally found the perfect mat as everyone claims. In my first class with it, what started out well quickly digressed into the same slipping scenario. For the first time ever I actually had to grab the sides of the mat to keep myself from falling on my face in Downward Facing Dog. I hope it gets better as it soaks up sweat and gets used. I have to say the best mat still is the original thick and narrow black mat that i used to have.will have to look for another one.Product Review: waste of money
Summary: 1 Stars
I've used several quality mats. This is not one of them. The chemical smell is overpowering. the recommendation is to air it out for two weeks in a well-ventilated area with moving air. Outdoors would seem ideal except the directions say it cannot tolerate direct sunlight (?)
In taking it outdoors to a borrowed, sheltered, shaded area, I passed a bush which left two permanent gouges in my one day old mat (not durable).
In practice, the mat moved and bunched underfoot, making me stop the flow and fix my mat.
In my first lunge, my back foot slipped on the mat, sending me to my knees.
The mat attracts and holds on to any debris it finds including hair, dust, dirt, pollen, etc.
Buy a Manduka Pro or Prolite. They don't smell, they don't scar, they don't collect debris, they don't move during practice and they give more sure footing than the Jade.
Oh, and they are guaranteed for life!
