The KURMA CORE 6.5 mm and GECO 6 mm yoga mats deliver exceptional cushioning without compromising stability. Their dense yet responsive structure protects your joints while maintaining reliable grip and floor connection.
Sustainably made in Europe and 100% recyclable, these thick mats combine lasting comfort, durability, and eco-friendly design — the perfect choice for a mindful practice.
CORE 6.5 mm
1. Premium Material
The CORE is made from high-quality PVC with a closed-cell structure. This means sweat and moisture stay on the surface instead of seeping in, keeping your mat fresh for longer and reducing wear. All you need to clean it is a damp cloth. The result: a mat that lasts for years and gives you a reliable surface day in, day out.
2. All-in-one Pro
With the double-sided CORE, you’re essentially getting two mats in one. One side provides extra grip for intensive sessions, while the other offers more freedom of movement. You can easily adjust the mat to your style or mood. The advantage? You never have to choose between comfort and stability — the CORE combines both in one all-in-one solution.
3. Comfort & Stability
At 6.5 mm, the CORE is slightly thicker than most yoga mats. Those extra millimeters provide gentle cushioning for your knees and joints without compromising balance. You’ll feel the comfort in slower poses and the stability you need in dynamic flows and standing positions.
4. 100% Sustainable
The CORE is built to last. Its durable material and European craftsmanship ensure it can handle years of intensive use. And thanks to the ContinuOM program, it gets a second life after its service. With the CORE, you choose not only quality in your practice, but also a more sustainable world.
GECO 6 mm
1. Innovative Rubber Mix
The GECO is made from an innovative blend of natural, synthetic, and recycled rubber. This combination creates a robust mat with excellent grip and stability. Thanks to its open-cell structure, the mat absorbs moisture effectively and remains reliably stable, even during intense sessions.
2. Dual-Sided Grip
The GECO features two identical sides with the same strong grip — whether wet or dry. This gives you a stable foundation and a mat that stays securely in place without shifting. By alternating sides during your practice, you also extend the mat’s lifespan significantly. The GECO remains a dependable companion, session after session.
3. Comfort & Stability in Harmony
At 6 mm thick, the GECO provides just the right amount of cushioning to protect your joints without compromising balance. Whether you’re breathing calmly in a yin pose or powering through a vinyasa flow, the GECO gives you comfort, stability, and control in every movement.
4. 100% Circular
The GECO is the only rubber yoga mat that can be fully recycled. One used GECO mat provides enough recycled material to create the foam core for 17 new mats — with no loss of quality. While other yoga mats end up in landfills or incinerators, the GECO gets a genuine second life through the ContinuOM program. With every practice, you contribute to a truly circular future.
Benefits of a Thick Yoga Mat
A standard yoga mat is about 4 mm thick, while thick yoga mats start at a minimum of 6 mm. A thick yoga mat offers many advantages over a thinner one. It provides:
- Extra cushioning
- Insulation from cold floors
- Greater comfort
The GECO and CORE yoga mats are both thick mats that deliver excellent grip and a perfect balance between comfort and stability. These mats provide optimal cushioning and are 100% sustainable.
Which Yoga Mat Thickness Is Right for Me – Thick or Thin?
Choosing the right yoga mat thickness depends on several factors. Below, you’ll find a detailed guide to help you determine which thickness best suits your needs, based on the benefits and your yoga style — including specific product recommendations.
Thickness 2.9 mm
If you’re a traveling yogi looking for a mat that’s easy to carry, a thin mat like the Fold-N-Flow (2.9 mm thick) is ideal. This type of mat is also great for dynamic yoga styles that involve a lot of movement and require a stable surface.
- Benefits: Easy to fold and carry
- Recommended: Fold-N-Flow series
Thickness 4 mm
If you’re looking for the perfect balance between comfort and portability, a 4 mm mat such as the SHIFT or GECO Lite is a great choice. This thickness offers a lightweight solution that still provides adequate support during your yoga practice.
- Benefits: Lightweight and travel-friendly
- Recommended: SHIFT, GECO Lite series
Thickness 6 mm
For those who need extra comfort and cushioning—such as anyone with sensitive joints or who prefers a softer surface for slower-paced yoga styles like Yin Yoga or Restorative Yoga —a thicker mat of at least 6 mm is recommended.
- Benefits: Extra comfort and cushioning
- Recommended: CORE & GECO series
When Should You Choose an Extra Thick Yoga Mat?
A thick yoga mat is ideal if you experience discomfort in your joints or muscles, or if you simply prefer a softer practice surface. Thicker mats are often used for the following yoga styles:
- Yin Yoga
- Hatha Yoga
- Restorative Yoga
Keep in mind that a thick mat is heavier and less compact than a thin one, making it less convenient for travel.
