The wafer-thin yoga mats with a thickness of 1 to 3 mm are often used as a travel yoga mat. These mats offer sufficient support and firmness. Yoga mats with a thickness of 3 to 4 mm are mats with a standard thickness. This thickness ensures good stability.
The travel yoga mats are the thinnest mats and mainly designed for travel. These yoga mats are lighter and thinner than the standard 3 - 4 mm mat, but are still capable of providing sufficient strength and support. The lightweight is ideal for carrying. They are useful for people who want to practice yoga everywhere. Because of the thinness, these mats are more prone to carry compared to their thicker counterparts. Replacement occasionally may be necessary, but anyway, these mats are cheaper than the thicker mats.
