thatwould depend on the purpose of the insulation sound or thermal?
Assuming thermal the available height of the ceiling would dictate what you can achieve but 50-100mm Knauf brand would be a good average.
However you may want a natural insulation or sound inslulation combined.
You should fits consider how much space you have, what type of insulation type and function you require and work out your optimum purchase from that.

But it's full of insulation. Works for me. Possible help added: A ridge vent for a pitched roof is a great way to help keep the heat down in an attic.
