This isn't the exact mat I have but it looks pretty similar. It isn't a sticky mat but after the first few uses I haven't had much problem with slipping. I haven't tried it but you may be able to put your yoga mat on top of it if you prefer that feel (I would definitely test that before engaging in a vigorous practice though). I have several yoga mats but the last few years have tended to use my two thicker mats more often just bc of the fact that the dog hair doesn't stick to them and any side lying work I need more cushion for my hips.

Tugger, I think one issue is that some of the thicker mats can be cushy, causing you to sink into them, where as the more pricier thick mats (e.g., Manduka) are actually quite dense and more supportive.
I don't like a lot of cushion to my yoga mat; for me, I think it interferes with balance. I have a number of mats, but my main one is Manduka eko Lite, which is now 4mm (used to be just 3mm). If you are looking for something cheaper, I have a Gaiam travel mat (it folds) that is quite thin but pretty non slip. Yoga mats are very personal - different people like different things! Other brands I've heard people compliment include Jade and B Mat. If you invest in something pricier, definitely check out their return policy. As a side note, I also have a large exercise mat that I have down all the time (similar to 360, different brand). It is dense and in addition to using it for other workouts, I sometimes use it alone for yoga, but if I'm going to do a longer yoga session, especially with my hands on the mat, I prefer to lay my actual yoga mat on top of the exercise mat.
