I've got a Mattes half sheepskin but its quite thick. Are Nuumed ones a bit thinner?

And do they do them for jumping saddles or should I just use a gp one?

I found the nuumed one quite thin and not partic soft but friend bought one of these http://www.equestrianclearance.com/weatherbeeta/merino_sheepskin_numnah_s_pads/index.html from equestrian clearance and it was really nice especially at the price!

I can recommend the WB ones too, I have got 2 but they are the half lined saddlecloths.
I bought a Stephens one first but it is too thick and altered the fit of my saddle too much, I find the WB Merino ones are not too thick and also wash like new every time.

I got a numed one, and it isn't very thick at all. I had better results with my cheapy shires synthetic sheepskin half pad, but the best so far has been a CSO sheepskin pad, this was nice and really thick.
 
Nuumed are lambswool, not sheepskin, which is why they're thinner. I don't find they wear that well. My friend's Le Mieux numnah is brilliant - the sheepskin is thick and incredibly soft, and washes really well; it's also hardwearing - the cotton bit will wear out long before the sheepskin so she'll probably have to convert it into a halfpad!
