Denise - I believe it's 1/4 inch - not "mooshy" like a thick Pilates mat can be, but very comfortable for floor work and works fine for flow practices. I roll it up and slide it under my bed when I'm not using it. It didn't have an unpleasant smell and has been durable - no complaints with my purchase. The extra space is nice as I tend to be one of those people who migrates off the mat even though I purchase extra-long mats when given that option.
For reference, my soul mat is my much-beloved Jade Fusion and my studio mat is a prAna E.C.O. I walk to yoga classes, so my beloved Fusion weighing in at around 10 lbs can take a toll on my shoulder. I also have a Manduka PRO, which is my least-used mat.
If I want a really indulgent restorative type practice, I layer my Fusion on top the Mandala - bliss!
