How to read these numbers
Thickness is the single figure most people shop on, and it is the one that misleads most. Below about 3 mm you feel the floor through the mat, which suits balance work and punishes knees. Around 5 to 6 mm is the usual compromise. Past 8 mm a mat starts working against standing poses because the surface moves under you.
Density matters as much as thickness and almost nobody publishes it, so compare weight at a given thickness: two 5 mm mats where one weighs 7 lb and the other 4 lb are not the same product. The heavy one is denser, lies flatter and lasts longer; the light one is the one you will actually carry.
Surface type decides how the mat behaves once you sweat. A closed-cell surface keeps moisture on top — easy to wipe, slippery until you do. An open-cell surface takes moisture in, which holds grip but needs a real wash rather than a wipe.
Price is the least stable number here, which is why every one on this site carries the date it was read. A mat that was $97 last week is not evidence of anything today.
