Is a 4 mm or 6 mm thick yoga mat better?

Whether a4 mm or 6 mm thick yoga matbetter depends on your needs - but thicker does not automatically mean better! A mat that is too thick can even be counterproductive because it offers less stability.

We atOmnanahave consciously chosen4 mm as optimal thicknessdecided to achieve the perfect balance ofcushioning, stability and weightOur materials –natural rubber, PU and PVC– are designed to provide comfortable padding even at 4 mm without causing you to sink in during balance exercises.

Why is 4 mm the ideal thickness for a yoga mat?

• Perfect balance of comfort & stability
  Our mats are designed to protect your joints, but at the same time allow firm contact with the floor - for a secure stance in every pose.
• No "spongy" feeling during balance exercises
  With thicker mats (e.g. 6 mm or more) you may sink slightly when standing or doing one-legged poses. This makes the exercises unclean and unstable.
• Lighter & more handy for transport
  Our 4mm mats have a controlled weight - they are heavy enough for good grip, but light enough to be comfortable to carry around.
• More durable & hard-wearing
  Thicker mats often wear out faster or develop pressure points – our 4 mm mats retain their shape and performance for a long time.
