Mine is a balanced body. I love it..not too thick or thin and my clients really like it. Esp when we are doing rolling like a ball! Those with fragile backs or bony butts( like mine ..ha) really appreciate it then!
I have different mats for different situations. When I go to the gym, I take a decent yoga mat and then use two of the gyms mats underneath it. I'm very bony, so I need a lot of cushioning. At home I have carpeting, so I have a fairly thick Stott Pilates Express mat that I use. When traveling somewhere by car I take that one and hope for the best
I love the Stott Pilates Express Mat...nice & thick. But I put a sticky yoga mat on top of that mat. Keep in mind - if you keep your mat in your car, the heat breaks down the mat a bit so it kinda grows....you may be in downdog stretch and next thing you know you're in plank! Thus the stick mat on top of the thick Pilates mat. Hope this helps someone!
I have found the yoga mats will stick to my lower legs slightly during roll ups. This can become rather annoying having to straighten out the mat often. Which mats are less sticky enabling skin to slide along more?
