I'm in the market for a mat the dojo can use to practice throwing and take down type tech. Cushy enough for our 30+ yr olds to take a dozen throws, and firm enough to still maintain a good stance.
I'm thinking for size 6'x12' 4" thick. That way both people are on it and allows a little bit of manuvering room.
Looking at this one but half as thick

I've heard some good things about these mats. A bit on the pricey side though. I've also worked with the puzzle mats. They provided enough cushion, but at times, especially when grappling, they have a tendancy of coming apart.
