Lifetime Guarantee | Manduka

Manduka guarantees the Manduka PRO®,  PROlite® and PRO® Travel yoga mats to last the lifetime of the mat, if used and cared for properly. Since the PRO Squared is a multi-purpose mat, it is not included under the Lifetime Guarantee. The lifetime of the mat is approximately 10 years of regular use when loved and cared for. Should a PRO® mat wear out past its useful life from regular use under normal conditions, we will replace the product. Cosmetic wear or damage resulting from improper handling or care, post-purchase modifications, alterations, negligence, and use for a purpose other than for which it was designed, are not covered by the Manduka Guarantee. Also, please keep in mind all warranties and lifetime guarantees are voided if any products are purchased from unauthorized resellers on Amazon other than Manduka Yoga or Amazon.com. We are also unable to provide warranties for any items purchased through eBay.

 

Criteria Covered Under the Lifetime Guarantee:

  • Wear to the top surface of the yoga mat from regular use that impacts its performance.
