Provides decent support for your knees
At 3/16β thickness, the Harmony mat is not as thick as some other yoga mats (like Jade Fusion), but it still cushions your knees a lot more than lower-quality alternatives. The Jade Harmony yoga mat is likely to be soft enough for people who don't have any pre-existing problems with their knees.

Con
Rubber smell
The Harmony is made of natural tree rubber, so it will smell like rubber at least for the first few uses. It does air out after a while, but if you're really sensitive to smells, this mat might not be for you.

Good for hot yoga
The Jade Harmony is made of open-cell rubber, which gives it the grip that's great for wet conditions such as hot yoga. The Harmony will dry out if left in direct sunlight or in the back of your car uncovered on hot days, which will ruin the grip and shorten the lifespan of your mat considerably.

Con
Biodegradable means shorter life span
The Jade Harmony yoga mat is biodegradable, and after about a year of every-day use you will start to notice grooves in the mat in the spots where your hands and feet usually are, and bits of rubber will start to come off. If you want a yoga mat that lasts for decades, then you should consider getting a non eco-friendly version.

Great for hot yoga
During hot yoga sessions, you will sweat a lot, so you need something that can hold up in extremely wet conditions. The colored side of the mat works great for this purpose: it has a great grip sweat absorption, while the antimicrobial additive in the fabric prevents the growth of bacteria, mold, and fungi.

Con
It gets dirty pretty quickly
The mat is completely smooth, with no ridges or bumps like on other mats. All kinds of debris get stuck pretty easily and are hard to get out of it.

It works for different workouts
This is a versatile two-sided mat. The brightly colored side works great for hot yoga where you sweat a lot. Meanwhile, the black side is more sticky and works great for standing poses.

Stays flat
The mat rolls out flat every time, and doesn't maintain a curl at the ends.

Good for dry conditions
The Manduka eKO has a textured surface that repels sweat. This makes it good for use in dry conditions, because the sweat will sit on the surface of the mat, causing it to be more slippery than open-cell mats (open-cell surfaces absorb moisture). The closed-cell surface on the Manduka is easier to clean and reduces the risk of accumulating bacteria in its pores.

It's long-lasting and easy to clean
This mat is made for heavy-duty use. The thick layer of PVC can withstand direct sunlight, moisture, and a lot of physical tear, so it is likely to serve you for many years. And to clean it you can simply use a wet cloth.

It's pretty heavy
This is not the most convenient mat to carry around: it's pretty thick and heavy (up to 9.5 lbs).

Con
It's expensive
This mat will be suited for people who are already committed to doing yoga. If you're just starting out, it might be a good idea to check out cheaper options (they start as low as $10) before investing such a considerable amount.

It provides good support and grip without being thick and heavy
Usually, rubber mats aren't as sticky as PVC or foam, but this one has a porous texture that provides a really good grip, even when it's wet from sweat. It's also pretty thin (and, therefore, light) at 3/16 of an inch, yet provides good cushioning for your knees and elbows.

Con
The lifespan is very limited
Being a fairly thin mat made out of a natural material, the Harmony probably won't serve you more than about a year. It's susceptible to external factors such as direct sunlight and moisture and will eventually start to degrade. If you're looking for a mat that will serve you for many years to come, it would be a good idea to look for thick PVC or plastic options.

It's great for standing poses
This mat is great for standing poses because it is thin and sticky, which makes it easy to hold balance, unlike with thick mats that may protect knees and elbows but have too much cushioning to stand comfortably.
See More
Top
Con
Can be hard to clean
Since this mat has an open-cell, porous structure, it absorbs sweat and oil and keeps it inside. It will require a little extra maintenance to remain clean. It would be a good idea to clean it with warm water and perhaps use a little oil after each workout.

It's produced in an eco-conscious way
Unlike the large part of producers who opt for using PVC, Jade choose to make their mats out of natural rubber because it's a biodegradable material and it doesn't cause any damage to the ozone layer as its being produced.
