Mat Thickness & Length Differences
Thickness
Due to the different needs and preferences, our mats are available in four different thicknesses: 2mm, 3.5mm, 4.5mm, and 6mm. Need a visual? Compare below.
2mm - Travel
Our Travel mat is ultra thin and light due to very minimal cushioning. Ideal for yogis seeking a truly portable mat, it fits diagonally in medium-sized luggage or can be worn cross-body on a plane as a personal item. Ready to bring your practice on new adventures? The travel collection is currently available in our Essentials Mat and in four artist styles here.
3.5mm - Commute
Our Commute thickness mat is designed with just enough support in a thin, standard profile—perfect for those who prefer minimal padding and a lighter carry for easy commuting. Ideal for yogis on the go, this mat strikes the perfect balance between comfort and portability.
4.5mm - Standard Thick
Our most popular Standard Size mat offers ideal cushioning and support, providing a comfortable surface for bones and joints without allowing wrists to overextend or sink. At 4.5mm thick, it strikes the perfect balance for stability and comfort. Our 4.5mm thickness is available in standard sizings and also in our X-Wide Essential, X-Tall Blossom, X-Tall Essential.
6mm - Extra Thick
Our most cushioned mat, designed for those needing maximum support, especially for bone or joint comfort. With its substantial thickness, it offers excellent cushioning but can be on the heavier side—though every mat comes with a convenient carry strap for easier carrying. This thickness is available in Essential, Tree of Life Alignment, and Botanicals.
Lengths & Widths
Meet our different sizes of yoga mats:
1. Standard sizes:
Note: We’re updating the width of most Adult Standard Size to 26 inches! Check the "Specs" section in each product description to see if the style you’re adding to your cart has been updated. Soon, all Standard mats—including Commute, Thick, and Extra Thick—will feature this new width, with adjusted pricing to match.
Adult Standard
Our Standard size is 72" long x 24" wide, which is available in every design on our website. Since it is our standard size, most yogis will be able to comfortably practice using this length and width.
Kids standard
The Kids’ length is the perfect size for little ones. It is a kids standard of 59” x 23”, making it 13” shorter and 1” less wide. You can view our range of Kids Mats here!
2. Special Sizes:
X-Tall
This length is perfect for those who are taller or just want a longer area to stretch. The mat is 6’7 ft long (80" x 26"), giving you lots of stretch space and comes in the standard thickness of 4.5mm. This size is currently available only in our Blossom Cork Mat and Essentials Cork Mat. This extra length can also be found in our Biggest Essential Cork Mat.
X-wide
This width is perfect for those who want more room on the sides. Compared to the standard mat it is the same length, only the width changes to 4" more than our old standard mat sizing. Only available in the standard thickness of 4.5mm, and available in our Essential Collection. Find it here. This extra width can also be found in our Biggest Essential Cork Mat.
Biggest
Named after its size, our “Biggest” cork mat or what we also call our “X-Large” mat, is our biggest mat yet. Compared to the older standard mat, it is 8” longer, slightly wider and also comes with extra-thick cushioning. It combines the length of our X-Tall mat, the width of the X-Wide mat and the thickness of our X-Thick 6mm yoga mats. This size is available in our Essential mat and Botanicals mat.

Hi I’m looking for non toxic exercise mat, are your mats suitable for regular functional fitness workouts ( I usually workout barefoot)

@Sarah, hi Sarah- In response to if we will be making yoga towels, we actually do not have that in our plans, because our cork yoga mats are perfect due to them not needing a yoga towel. They are made for sweating :) The more you sweat, the more you grip! If you want to bring a towel, its only useful to wipe sweat off the body but the mat will grip with the sweat. Cork is also antimicrobial so it will not have any smells over time because it’s basically self- sanitizing making it perfect in that regard also for sweat.

Will you be making nontoxic yoga towels? How do these mats do with hot yoga and lots of sweating?

@Paula – Hi Paula, thicknesses do depend on the comfort that you personally need! Many are happy with our 3.5mm standard and 4.5mm standard. The most popular thickness that we recommend is the 4.5mm. This is the standard thick mat that can support majority of people’s practice. However, if you’re a person who has sensitive knees and want the extra support, then we recommend to either add our cork knee pads (they come in pairs), to any mat. And/ or choose the X-Thick size which will be very comfortable if you want more cushioning and support for sensitive knees or joints. Hope that helps :)

Which thickness would be best to protect and support my knees in daily practice?
Thanks
Paula
@Ray Martin: Hi Ray, we are getting more feedback about this and we will be taking this in consideration to bring our thickness for the BIGGEST mat to be 4.5mm, thank you for the comment and feedback

I have been looking for a large cork mat. I am 6’5" , 220 lbs.
I really like the dimensions of the X-Large (biggest) mat, but I do not need or want it to be 6mm thick.
do you make it in a 4.5mm thickness?
Ray Martin
