I need a non-industrial smelling yoga mat. Any suggestions?

namasteak? Anyone?

mine is a reebok one I got at Target, I've had it for 4 years, and it still smells like rubber.  It makes my eyes burn when I use it, still! And I just realized how bad for me this likely is.  Hmmmm..help!

I love my Manduka ProLite mat.

I have The Mat from lululemon and it doesn't smell at all.

I have the black Manduka (except mine was remarketed by Lulu so its purple) and it smelled for about a year. Just air it out. Or I think you can wash it.

Wash with vinegar (diluted) and rinse thoroughly.

I love gaiam mats for cheap ones. Best nice mat I've used is a jade but i don't own one.

I like the Manduka black mat. I scrubbed it with salt to get the slippery coating off.

I've also successfully used this mat:

My Manduka never smelled ::::giggles:::: but all of my Gaiams have. I don't love my PROlite because it is so heavy.
