It says the mat is 1.125" thick. How thick is the backing?

There is no backing in the sense of a need for cushioning. There is a very thin layer of rubber, maybe 1/16" thick, that seems to be for holding the mat together and for gripping on slippery surfaces. The mat itself is made of some interwoven material that looks random. Since my purchase I have used every iron and wood I own and have been able to hit down and thru like turf. I can say that this mat has yet to stop any club from going thru, although is slows it down a lot if you chunk it. First mat I have ever owned that hasn't my arm or wrist, like some of the driving range mats on the concrete can do. There is no backing in the sense of a need for cushioning.

I did not measure it but from eyeballing it, the backing thickness is roughly 5mm thick. I had this for over 1 year now and it is still functioning like new.

Oddly enough, there is no rubber backing. The mat is similar to an area rug with just a thin layer as its base. That said, it's sturdy and does not move while you're using it. Mine sits on the concrete floor of my garage and provides plenty of cushion. The lack of a rubber backing also makes the mat lighter, so if you want to move it to clean around it or put it away for awhile it's much easier to handle. It's counter-intuitive...but it works well. It's really an awesome product.

It is heavier than a regular yoga mat, probably about 1 and 1/2 times as thick in total.

I think about half inch, it's really a good mat. my daughter love to play on the letters and numbers by taking them off the tiles

I don't know the exact thickness but it does seem thin. To me, it was more important to have a mat where I'm not slipping when sweating than something really thick. But if thickness is important to you, I can't say I'd recommend this mat.

Estimate - 1/2 " thick. I use it on a sofa bed to help support my back - I read comments that it works, brought it -- and it works.

It's definitely thick enough. Based on my research it was twice the thickness of the cheaper flimsy ones. I think it was 1.5cm. If you search deeper into reviews you will find it. We are very happy with it and got it for the same reason.

It is no way near 1.5" thick. I would not want to lift it if that was true. Mine is right at 5/16" thick (0.3125").

It's 2 inches thick. My kids are in tumble and they have had no complaints with it

In the product details it's listed as being 1 1/2 inch thick. That seems about right.

It is approximately 1 and 1/8 inch thick. It does not fit flush against the wall since the support bracket is behind it. FYI it is approx 9 and 13/16" Outside Diameter.

It's about 1/2 inch thick. It's a good cushion but I wouldn't use it as the main source of a mat. I mean it would be a good additive as an "extra". It would be easy to move around & remember has the hard plastic piece underneath that the battery are placed. Overall it is a great & fun product & the material feels nice

I'm not sure exactly how thick, but it feels plenty plush :) I'm happy with ours!

It is around 1/4" thick but is dense enough for the steps to rest on without penetrating. The feet of the steps rest on the pad and don't slip around . It is reliable for the purpose of protecting the pool bottom.

The mat is about 1/4 of an inch thick. I would go with one of these: http://www.amazon.com/Ideaworks-Non-Slip-Hydro-Rug/dp/B00CP6MOQK/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1397154154&sr=8-6&keywords=tub+mat http://www.amazon.com/Duro-Med-No-Skid-Bath-Shower-Mat/dp/B0009STN6K/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1397154217&sr=8-2&keywords=thick+tub+mat

This is unofficial, I just measured it with a ruler. It looks like it is about 2.3 mms, not counting the spikes which are approximately the same length. This has been a very good mat. We have it over a plush carpet on a 1/2" pad. It slightly indents from the chair wheels, but very little. I have tried a couple of mats, and this has been the best one.

It's about 1/2 an inch thick. The edges are sort of contoured. It's like the memory foam is about 3/4 an inch smaller on all sides than the red fabric and backing. So the red fabric goes down the length of the 1/2 thickness and then out about 3/4 an inch to meet with the backing. Therefore, the edges are about an 1/8 inch thick. Imagine a very smooshed top hat to be what the thickness looks like. Yes it is non-slip. We have linoleum but I'm sure it responds similarly to wood floor. They can be moved around without a lot of effort, but they stay in place pretty well.
