What is the thickness in inches? 5mm.. sounds very thin. I need a thicker mat.. because I can feel my bones right through the mat all the time.

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.

It is thin. Its about NOT slipping when you're pouring sweat on the mat. Same company makes a thick one. Look on their site. An LuLuLemon makes a think one.

It's not so much thicker as less slippery. I love this mat. My hands used to slide in down dog...now I can use good form and feel strong.

I suffer from old bones and need a softer mat. This one is prefect to me. Just the right amount of cushion. You could also consider putting a yoga towel/rug on top of your mat to give you the extra cushion you desire. I find this mat more than adequate in cushioning.

It is pretty standard thickness for many mats I have seen at the studio, but it is only about 1/4" thick give or take. Not cushiony, only to keep you from slipping.

Pad has thickness, not thin. Bought it for my son for a not so great mattress; he stated it made a big difference. Hope this helps.

I've done it both ways and really a nice thick mat is soooooo much nicer on your joints and less slippery than carpet. I'm older (55) so being nice to my joints makes sense. Mine is about 3/4 inch thick black puzzle mat that I got here on Amazon. I bought two sets and put them together to make a larger area. Well worth the $. The thin yoga mats really only help with the slipping part.

Hi Toni No not 2 inches thick , I suppose it would be as thick as a good alfoil. I found when I had an egg dish seep through the bottom of my pan, it landed on the mat, I left it until it dried & it just fell off the mat. Great for that! Cheers

Jason,After much testing for yoga we found that going any thicker would be make it very difficult to hold standing poses. So 1/4" is as thick as we will go.What I would be happy to do in case you find you need additional protection is mail you, free of charge, a mat pad which you could use for kneeling poses or your wrists depending on where you need the additional protection.This will give you the extra thickness where you need it and you can just put it aside when doing your standing poses.Just contact me directly thru Amazon if you decide to go this route.Good luck with your purchase and please feel free to contact me any time you need help or just to say hi.Have a great night and I hope I've been helpful.NamasteDennis Jason,After much testing for yoga we found that going any thicker would be make it very difficult to hold standing poses.

Hey Russ, though it's only a quarter inch thick, it's still a pretty heavy duty mat. I also use it in my garage to do CrossFit wods, but I keep it in the floor. When I do roll it up, it's only for a short time, and it hasn't retained any "memory" from being rolled up. I really don't think you'll have any problems with it, especially if you use it often and don't keep it rolled up for an extended period of time. Good luck!

It's about a 1/2 in thick. The edges are contoured. I have mine on a tile floor. The mat moves a little but stays mostly in place. I love the thickness.

I don't know the thickness but I am very pleased with this pad. I really like it.S

I can confirm. The mat is thin but not too thin. Just right, i think. It's a good mat. I have it in my bathroom as the main, area "rug", in front of the sink. I got it as an alternative to the usual bathroom cloth/carpet- rug style. Regular rugs get so dirty in the bathroom. Plus cleaning is a hassle, dust/dust mites collect on carpets and other fabric furniture. The bamboo mat is easy to clean (paper towel and little water, etc). Over all, good, mid-line mat.

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

Mine measure at .5" thick. We use ours over a hardwood floor in a 10' by 12' area. It's been great! We have young children in our home and have used different brand mats in the past and these are by far the most resilient. They are also a great cushion for when we want to stretch out or exercise. I imagine they would do very well in a tent with a sturdy canvas type floor. I know someone who has used them for that purpose and under their air mattress, as well. They were pleased. I would caution against getting them wet. A little moisture is easy to clean up but you wouldn't want any type of foam flooring to get soaked.

This mat is 1 cm thick. If you are planning on using this mat as a baby knee protector, or any other parts of the body, I would recommend you buying the 1.5 cm thickness version of this. If you still don't feel safe with your baby using this, just buy a rather thick one from another company! Happy shopping! =]

The thickness of the mat is 2.5 millimeters. Now I measured the mat NOT including the extended length of the prongs that stick out from underneath the mat to grip the carpet. The wheels on my desk chair are 2 inches wide - I weigh almost 300 lbs and this mat does not even have any indentations when I scoot across it with my chair. Other people have complained that every week or so they may have to move the mat because it shifts a little from the original position. I have not noticed this. I think the size of your desk chair wheel has to be considered as well. Obviously the wider it is the better it will displace weight on the surface of the mat thus limiting any indentations. I love this mat and would recommend it to everyone. The fact that I weigh so much and it with stands that is amazing!! Hope this helped.

Good thickness - I was purchasing it to use on top of another mat (which was too thin for me). I like it very much.

1/4" thick. It's not as comfortable for standing on for an entire work day. I use the mat for my stand-up desk. I like my coworkers Crown Comfort King mat better for cushion.
