I've got an Amazon cheapie mat that's almost 12 years old and starting to disintegrate. I bought a Manduka, and I hate it. It's shorter than I'd like (68" - should have realized it before I ordered it), but it's just not sticky. I've tried leaving it in the sun, washing it, and two different salt scrubs, and my hands still slide like crazy.
I'd like something at least 71+" that isn't high maintenance/doesn't require a breaking in period.. the options online are overwhelming. Preferably not Manduka.
I have tried a manduka, jade and lululemon. I liked the jade but definitely make sure you get the longer one. As much as I dislike lululemon as a company their mat is my favorite. It has good legnth and good cushioning and I don't slip. I didn't slip on my jade but it isn't as thick. My manduka was fine I had the pro and it did slip on it which was annoying.
