Choosing Mat Thickness by Floor Type

Quick answer: Match thickness to your floor: pick the 1-inch option over hard or cold floors like tile and concrete, and the 0.5-inch option over carpet or where you want a lower, stabler surface. A PopsyKosy mat comes in both so you can suit the floor underneath.

Hard floors want more cushion

Over tile, concrete or hardwood, the 1-inch option adds the cushion a hard floor can't provide and takes off the cold.

Softer floors need less

On carpet or where stability matters most, the 0.5-inch option gives plenty of protection without sitting too high.
