An excellent plastic-free alternative that feels luxurious!
I absolutely love this cork mat. I use it to work out at home every day and for the occasional hot yoga class. The grip is great, and the mat overall stays put much better than my old one. It’s easy to clean (I use the mat spray) and it dries fast. I bought the mat to reduce plastic in my life but also ended up with a high-quality, luxurious mat I get to enjoy every day. It’s heavier than a typical mat, but you get used to it. I highly recommend!

My favorite yoga mat I bought it twice
Lasted 2 years of everyday use. Get so many compliments on it. Really grippy.
Only issue with this review is that I will be less unique if you buy it. So don’t buy it - I’d like to be the only cool one in class.

L💗V🙏 Your Cork !!
Please check out my live review at
Lisakasleyoga on Instagram!!
I cannot say enough great things about the 42Birds Eco Cork Mat. Please be sure to read all about the way the cork is harvested and about the way in which cork bark from Oak Cork Trees protects the forest and animals from forest fires! 🔥 It’s sustainable biodegradable, recyclable and aupports biodiversity. It dries F-A-S-T and the surface provides the best grip I have ever experienced on any mat ( and I have had several various brand names and models of great mats). I could go on and on! I love the anti microbial aspect and quick drying promotes getting back on your mat again - same day !! Many Thanxz to the makers of 42Birds (read about the meaning of the 42 birds please!) Eco Cork Yoga Mats!!!!

Love this mat!
I've used it every day since I purchased it. It's worth the splurge and then some. Invest in your practice! I wish I hadn't waited this long.
So happy to hear that, Emily! Thanks for supporting 42 Birds.

15 days No Delivery Yet.
I have not received the mat. I initiated a tracking through your shipping agent (who received prepayment for their services) couple days ago. Their response was “in transit” & “couple days before delivery”. So, while I’d like to submit a positive review, the fact that your store fulfilled the order 14 days ago (15 now) and I’ve yet to receive same prevents me from doing so.

Cork mat
Was excited for this mat. While it has good grip and helps my knees, ive noticed its developed scattered black spots. I use the mat cleaning spray but that didnt help. Spots look like mold not sure how to get rid of them or if its safe to use at this point?
Hi Karina,
Please look out for an email from us directly – hello@42birds.com. This definitely does not match our product standards so we'll work with you directly to get a replacement out asap.

Yoga Mat
Purchased the Imperial Eagle for my wife. She is very pleased with the mat as it 0provides excellent cushioning and is quite slip resistant. The mat is a bit heavier than we expected but the weight probably reflects the nice quality of the mat. Very happy with this purchase!

I LOVE my new cork yoga mat. The cork surface is transforming my practice. It seems so well made and totally addressed the issue of sliding that made me research cork mats. I look forward to my yoga in a different way.

Excellent mat - love it!
I've been looking for a cork mat for awhile now and after doing a boatlaod of research, I decided to order the 42 Birds Imperial Eagle mat and I'm so glad I did. I absolutely love it. It's sturdy and has served me well in my yoga practice.

Still don’t have it!?!
Ordered November. It is now December 16th and 42 Birds is blaming the delivery service. You have to step outside yourself for a minute and realize if a customer buys something and they don’t get it that is on you. You don’t blame the delivery service that has obviously lost the package because it shows NOT DELIVERED.
Hi Jeff,
We understand your frustration. As a small business, we need to take the proper procedures when an issue happens with the shipping provider.
Confirming a replacement item has been shipped and we'll reach out to you separately with the tracking information. Again, we apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your business.

Way too heavy
Well made but just too heavy. Returning for Robin.
Hi Allison – we are sorry to hear you found the Imperial Eagle too heavy but excited that you're swapping it out for the Robin! They are both wonderful mats but depending on your needs, can totally understand why that would be a better fit.
We hope you love it and please reach out to hello@42birds.com if there is anything else we can assist with.

good stuff so far!
The mat was delivered in good time. The box was a little fuckled upon arrival (not the fault of 42birds, and the mat was undamaged). I was stoked at the appearance and initial read on the mat's quality. Both my partner and I have taken it for a spin a few times and our initial read is very nice! I'll say this; four people have picked up that mat, and four said "ooof!." This mat is not a traveler. It is heavy. Hopefully this will translate well to heavy use. I will be giving it a test with some more challenging ashtanga practice than the mat has seen so far and am looking forward to it. So far, really excellent! Thanks, 42birds!

No product delivered and no resolution
I was charged and the v item never delivered. I contacted your team a few times and they only relay to me they are checking in it. I have no nat , no refund, and no update of when something will be resolved. This is this worst service and a very expensive product to not get a refund on.
Hi Brittni,
We are so sorry to hear you've haven't been happy with you experience with 42 Birds. We've been in contact multiple times via email and sent out a new mat on Wednesday. As a small business, customer satisfaction is extremely important to us and we take carrier delivery issues very seriously.

Very nice mat!
I love that the mat comes in plastic free packaging. It is beautiful- very smooth and I really appreciate that the logo is small, I prefer a very plain mat to practice on without much design. I got this to replace a Gurus Sprout mat that was just too thin for my concrete yoga studio. It definitely feels much sturdier- the natural rubber is almost bouncy when you’re on it and feels much better on my joints! My one complaint is that thing is HEAVY I walk about a quarter mile to my studio and it’s a workout just carrying this heavy mat! I’d still recommend it- it’s lovely and truly feels solid and well crafted. I’ve had no issues with slipping on it or anything like that either. My favorite part is that thing just rolls out so smooth and flat I’ve never had a mat that is so immediately perfectly flat! I would buy this mat again!

Great quality
You can tell when you immediately pick up this mat that it is amazing quality. My tailbone is extra sensitive, so I have to double up the mat for rolling movements, but for most people should be plenty thick enough. Also it is grippy as claimed.

Wonderful mat
I recently bought the Imperial Eagle cork mat. I love it! It’s beautiful and I don’t slip even though I do intense Power type yoga and sweat a lot. It’s also beautiful. Very happy with this purchase.
