How to say "thickness" in Japanese

• 厚みあつみCommon
  nounThickness as a felt quality rather than a bare figure: the substance or fullness that thickness lends a thing. Typical in description, when how thick something feels matters more than its exact measurement.
• 厚さあつさCommon
  nounThe straightforward word for thickness as a measurable dimension or property of an object. Use it when stating or asking how thick something is, as in giving a figure or comparing thicknesses.

Both mean thickness: use 「厚さ」 for thickness as an objective, measurable dimension, and 「厚み」 when thinking of thickness as a felt quality — the substance or fullness that thickness gives a thing.
