Is the durability of this towel reliable? I have tried microfiber towels before and it wears down after couple of washes not as comfortable as before

My oldest eQua mat towel is at least 3 years old, washed many times, and it feels just as soft/comfy as my newer ones that have only been washed once or twice. I wash using cold water only and tumble dry low without dryer sheets/softener. I'm always amazed by how "new" my old towel looks once I've put it through the wash. The Manduka company has great customer service, so if you do have a problem, contact them!

Yes! I have had mine for about 6 months and have washed it at least weekly. It still feels like new. Always wash in cold water, tumble dry low and never use fabric softener or dryer sheets.

Funny you should ask, I just washed mine for the first time and it was fine. I have truly enjoyed this comforter and consider it a good value.

With quality paper towels you can easily tear it with one hand. I find inferior products do not tear as well and require 2 hands sometimes. Not a problem for me though. I still love it.

Yes. I like them very well. A great deal for the money. One reason that towels lose their absorbency, is due to fabric softener, which coats the towels and they are no longer absorbent. If you stay away from the fabric softener, they will last a long time.

After daily use of over two months the towel stretch about Two inches. In addition, the start to fray with use. After about four to five months the towel will need to be replaced. The feel like an exfoliating towel and feel somewhat rough, but all of the family like them

This is much more durable than a vinyl tablecloth. We end up washing ours about once a week because of our two year old and it still looks good. He pulls it and moves it around and it hasn't torn yet. It has the feel of cloth so I would guess that unless you cut it with something sharp it should last a long time.

My dirty wet dogs are back there on it all the time. I've had mine since April and it is a nice microfiber type fabric. I need to take mine out and shake it but I believe that will be fine - when I brush it off it is fine. Certainly seems durable enough - I know when it arrived the material was a nice surprise as I had doubts after reading some of the reviews but it was money well spent. If you have dogs I think you'll be very pleased!

I have machine washed and tumble dried mine twice. It still looks good as new.

I have washed and dried this a lot and it has had no problems still as good as new. I do try to hang it out side to dry when the weather is nice. so it has been washed a lot and dried in different ways and still holds up great.

Not so far. I've been using mine for at least 6 months and I've even washed it off once and it's still holding up fine. Good Luck!

Mine has lasted for months (although I've only used this pad about 3-4 times). If you use a pad cleaner immediately following every use in warm water and let it air dry, it should last until it falls apart.

No, not like microfiber - I know that feels really weird when you sweat -- It is like a really thin, sort of worn wash cloth. That is the best way I know how to describe the texture of the mat. This is not to say that the mat is worn and not durable though. Love it, use it, and wash it once or twice a week for months now.

I've washed mine twice so far in warm water and dried it in the dryer on low heat without any problems. It remains water-proof which is why I bought it.

Mine has held up fine! We have one on my daughter's bed and it was there during overnight potty training, so it has been washed a lot. No problems.

I personally can't compare it to the older version, but would say during my use over a weekend at the beach where it got wet and had some sunny time and shady time on the laundry line it had a lot of potential to stink but never really did. I washed the towels pretty quickly when we got home as well. Just take care of it! I machine wash on a gentler cycle and then have done the dryer with no heat (dries quickly with a small load) and it's holding up well so far.

I just wash and dry them like I would any towel. Not sure if this recommended but it works. I've had mine for a year with weekly washing a and they are in great shape. When possible I love to line dry!

No. These towels have gone through lots of use and laundering and are holding up beautifully. However-I dry them on my drying rack to prevent more shrinking. Since I have 13 towels, I don't miss the 3 or 4 that are drying.
