This Basic Yoga Mat is a little thicker than the one in the bundle. I wouldn't go any thicker than this because it makes the balance more challenging. 68" long 24" wide ensures comfort. With high density eco friendly material, the 1/4'' thick premium mat comfortably cushions spine, hips, knees and elbows on hard floors while keeps you balanced
