Friedola Extra (Traction Eco) Thick Mat

The original and still the best traditional asana yoga mat from the same manufacturer as the VB & Maha mats in Germany. This non-slip sticky Oeko-Tex Classic Yoga Mat "EXTRA" is a high quality non slip mat offering a good balance of cushioning and excellent grip whilst remaining easy to roll up, carry and is machine washable at 40°C. European Oeko-Tex Yoga Mats are made in accordance with strict environmental regulations which minimise the impact of their production on the environment.With its orange peel like texture, excellent traction and toxic-free durability, even when moist, this long life mat will provide years of mat longevity for your practice.

EXTRA mats have a raised texture which provides superior traction. Whereas general sticky mats have a texture only on one side and that wears out first, these EXTRA mats are textured both sides so the mat will last twice as long using both sides.

Linen fibres add to the durability and comfort of this long life mat while helping maintain stickiness even when moist. These mats are porus which means that the grip increases as time goes on. EXTRA traction mat soaks up sweat to stay grippy (rather than slip like the smooth grip types). Ideal for Bikram / Hot Yoga.
