If you want something super thick, this BalanceFrom GoCloud All-Purpose 1-Inch Extra Thick Yoga Mat ($38, originally $43) is for you. It's not the greatest option for balance poses (so maybe not a great choice for more intensive yoga practices or heavy weight lifting, when you need a more stable surface), but if you have sensitive knees or need extra padding, you'll adore it. One editor says that "This mat is so thick and cushioned, it feels more like a pad, but it's got enough grip so that you can still move with it. Since I started using it, I have not worried about my knees when doing leg lifts or fire hydrants, and my wrists have also stayed comfortable in planks, something I never thought would happen."
