THICKNESS

• The average thickness for a yoga mat is 3 - 5mm 
• Pilates mats are generally 6mm or more
• If you're carrying an injury or need more support on your joints then a thicker mat is a good option
• Thicker isn't always better - thinner mats allow better connection to the floor, making balance easier
• Consider thicker mats for slower styles like restorative yoga.

WEIGHT

• Consider the weight of your mat if you're planning to transport it to and from the studio.
• Heavier mats are less likely to shift during practice, making them suited to faster practices like Vinyasa Flow 
• Natural materials like rubber and cork tend to be heavier
• Consider a mat bag or carry all kit for easy transport and storage

GRIP

• Yoga mats need grip to ensure stability in your flow
• Closed cell mats provide great grip for all-round practice, but as they don't absorb moisture they can become slippy in intensive practices like hot yoga.
• Closed cell tend to be made of PVC and TPE, they often become grippier over time.
• For faster practices like Vinyasa or Ashtanga select a high grip mat, that is immediately grippy.
• Natural materials like rubber and cork have open cell surfaces, which means they absorb moisture and are immediately grippy
