Product details
A yoga mat of approximately 10 mm thickness (≈ 0.39 inches) is considered “extra-thick” in the yoga mat world. Here are the major attributes:
Benefits
Joint & floor cushioning: Because it’s thick, a 10 mm mat gives more padding under your knees, wrists, hips or back when doing floor-based poses. Great if you practise on hard surfaces.
Comfort for slower or restorative styles: If your practice involves longer holds, seated/lying poses (Yin, restorative), the extra plush feel can make things more comfortable.
Versatility for other uses: A mat this thick might also double for Pilates, stretching, general floor workouts — not just yoga. (Some reviews mention this).
Considerations / Trade-offs
Less “grounded” feel: Because of extra thickness, you may lose some sense of stability or connection to the floor. For standing/balance poses this can mean more wobble.
Portability & weight: A thicker mat tends to be bulkier/heavier, so if you carry it around to studio or outdoors, that matters.
Style match: If your yoga is very dynamic (flow, fast transitions, standing balances), a very thick mat might not be optimal because you may sacrifice stability.
