Natural rubber provides enough cushioning at 3.5 – 4.5mm and has more density than more common mats so there is no need to go for a thicker mat than that.

Thin yoga mat will tend to hit your body while doing yoga poses. You can certainly feel the hardness of floor/ ground. So a thick and soft yoga mat is recommended while doing yoga.
