Cheerleading Mats - Roll Out & Folding

Options for Cheer Mats

Whether you need cheer mats for practice at home, at school, or in a team setting, Greatmats offers mats with competition-quality designs and high-end manufacturing. Our roll-out mats reduce the risk of injury during tumbling and stunting while providing a sturdy surface.

Cheerleader workouts require strength, speed, and precision, and our mats help athletes perform safely. Our portable rolls provide the perfect floor for almost any cheer workout. Our floors can’t provide the enthusiasm, but we guarantee they’ll give your cheerleaders the confidence during practices, performances, games, and competitions needed to keep the crowd and players engaged.

Types of Cheerleading Mats

Depending on the workout you have in mind, Greatmats offers a range of mat designs to help athletes sharpen their specific skills.

Folding

Folding mats have a vinyl covering and a thick foam interior to protect athletes from falls. The 2-Inch Gym 4x8 Foot Mat includes four connected folding panels. Athletes can leave the mat flat or fold the panels on top of each other to increase cushioning.

Roll Out

Our roll-out mats help with managing tumbling runs. The top layer is carpeting connected to the foam layer underneath. Our 6x42-Foot Cheerleading Mats Flexi Roll has competition-quality materials and construction. You can connect multiple rolls to gain full floor coverage.

Crash

Crash mats are specialized landing mats that provide proper cushioning to reduce the risk of injury during tumbling or stunting practices. The Safety Landing Mat has 8 inches of cushioning and a durable cover to stand up to hard crashes while protecting the athletes.

Octagon

For beginning cheerleaders, our Gymnastics Octagon Mat has an eight-sided shape that aids the kids as they’re learning forward rolls and back handsprings. We offer six different sizes to help you match the mat to the ages of the cheerleaders using it.

Incline Wedge

Our Incline Wedge Mat looks like a wedge of cheese from the side, providing a downhill ramp that simplifies learning different types of skills, such as walk-overs and somersaults. Four different sizes are available.

Materials and Sizes of Cheer Mats

Our cheerleading mats are made from heavy-duty materials and feature competition-quality designs, ensuring you receive great value and long-lasting products. The exterior or top layer consists of durable vinyl or carpeting that protects the cross-linked polyethylene foam on the interior or bottom layer.

We offer rolls up to 42 feet long, making them ideal for practicing tumbling runs. Connect multiple rolls to create a large, competition-sized floor.

We have thick, cushioned mats that protect athletes from falls during stunting and tumbling practice. These crash mats greatly reduce the risk of injury.

For younger children, we offer several sizes of cheer training mats that fit their bodies and support skill development.

Our folding mats are versatile: you can lay them flat for maximum coverage, or fold the connected panels to increase cushioning.

Cheer Mat Q&A

What is a hook-and-loop fastener?

A hook-and-loop fastener is a temporary type of fastening system that connects two strips of fabric, one with tiny hooks and one with soft loops. When you press the two strips together, they create a secure connection. You can peel the two strips apart later without damaging the connectors.

What is the best cheer mat thickness?

The best thickness for cheer mats is either 1-3/8 or 2 inches. The thicker mat offers better cushioning against hard landings, while the thinner mat delivers sturdier footing for tumbling runs. For maximum protection against stunting or tumbling falls, though, an 8-inch crash mat is the best selection.

How do I clean cheer mats?

To sanitize and clean cheer mats, use a vinyl cleaning product on the vinyl covering. Do not saturate the mat, as it is not waterproof. For a carpet-top cheer mat and roll, use a vacuum cleaner and a carpet cleaning product. Do not saturate the mat, or you could damage it.

How heavy are cheer competition mats?

The weight for cheer competition mats is between 125 and 135 pounds apiece, but each segment has 252 square feet of coverage. The weight of these mats ensures they remain in place, even when subjected to the stress of quick movements from several cheerleaders at the same time.

How do I install, maintain, and store flexible cheer mats?

Installing, maintaining, and storing flexible cheer mats is easier than you might think. To install them, unroll them with the carpet top facing upward. To maintain them, just clean them occasionally with a vinyl or carpet cleaning product, depending on the materials in the mat. To store the roll-up mats, use the shipping straps to secure them in a cylindrical shape before storing them upright.
