Which exercise mat thickness do you need? Slide it and see what changes
Exercise mats come in thicknesses from about 1 mm to 15 mm or more, and the right one depends on what you do on it. Thicker is kinder to knees, elbows and spine; thinner is steadier under your feet.
Pick what you will do, slide the thickness and watch cushion and steadiness trade off. Then see which materials and sizes matter, and what to look for at each budget.
