Yes. I used a Stott 1/4" mat. It's the thickest and the softest my wife has seen, so presumably it blocks the most noise. Gaiam (available on line) makes a denser mat, but my guess is that it is no better at absorbing noise. Ideally I should have made a pattern of the hatch itself rather than the thin blanket to get a tighter fit. But the noise reduction is impressive using the blanket, and the yoga mat doesn't show.
