Options for Foam Puzzle Mats



Among the products we offer at Greatmats, our foam puzzle mats may provide the most extensive variety of installation choices. Some people like these foam puzzle mat options because of the ease of installation, while others appreciate the dozens of colorful and faux wood finishes. We even have some reversible tiles, so you can change out the puzzle flooring to fit the color you need for a particular use case.

Best of all, they provide a reasonable price. We have many options that cost less than $2 per square foot. You’ll appreciate the mixture of value, quality, and choices with our foam puzzle mats!

Foam Floor Puzzle Mat Size & Thickness


You can select among a few different coverage sizes and thicknesses in our puzzle mat flooring.

Sizes


Interlocking flooring that has a larger square footage per tile will speed up the installation, but some people struggle to handle and move large tiles for a DIY installation. Fortunately, foam puzzle mat products are lightweight, simplifying the work. Our common coverage sizes include:
  • 2x2 feet
  • 1x1 meter (3.3x3.3 feet)

We also offer trade show kits that contain enough tiles for a specific layout size, ranging from 10x10 feet to 20x30 feet.

Thicknesses


Thicker puzzle piece mats provide a higher level of cushioning, while thinner mats tend to cost a little less. Some of the most common thickness options include:
  • 3/8 of an inch
  • 1/2 of an inch
  • 3/5 of an inch (15 mm)
  • 5/8 of an inch
  • 3/4 of an inch
  • 4/5 of an inch (20 mm)
  • 7/8 of an inch
  • 1 inch
  • 1-1/2 inches
  • 1-5/8 inches

Materials for Foam Puzzle Mats


You can select among EVA foam or PE foam when you want to install our foam flooring products.
  • EVA Foam: EVA, short for ethylene vinyl acetate foam, uses a closed-cell design. It doesn’t absorb liquids, while still yielding protection against falls.
  • PE Foam: PE, short for polyethylene, is a closed-cell foam that provides excellent durability and shock absorption.

Patterns and Textures for Foam Puzzle Mats


Foam floor puzzle mat options are available in several color patterns and textures.
  • Textures: Many of our foam puzzle mats provide a textured grip for controlled movements and leverage during athletics. Some have a pebble surface, while others use a thatch texture that stands up to boots and shoes. Some of our martial arts mats have a tatami texture, which helps to prevent mat burn.
  • Patterns: Most of our mats have a solid color rather than a design pattern. You can pick from more than a dozen color options. Because tiles in the same product line use the same interlocking edge patterns, you can mix and match colors to create your own color patterns in the final layout.

  • Kids’ play rooms

Foam Puzzle Mats Q&A


How do you install puzzle mats?


Installing puzzle mats is an easy process, as they use jigsaw-puzzle-like edges that pop together with very little effort. If you need to fit any tiles against a wall or obstacle, just cut the puzzle edge off to create a flat one.

What are the best puzzle mats for martial arts training like karate and taekwondo?


The best puzzle mats for martial arts training typically will range from 7/8 inches to 1-5/8 inches in thickness. For groundwork and throw training, look for puzzle piece floor mats that carry a fall height rating of 4 feet or greater. No-burn tatami surfaces are helpful for these workouts, too.

What are the best 1-inch thick puzzle mats for karate?


The best 1-inch thick puzzle mats for karate are the Premium Martial Arts Karate Mats, which measure 1-by-1-meter (or 40-by-40 inches). They cover a large workout space quickly because of the large size. They consist of high-density EVA foam that provides an ideal mixture of cushioning and traction. They also may work for judo or BJJ disciplines.

What are the best colored puzzle floor mats?


The best colored puzzle floor mats are our Premium Foam Kids and Gym Mats. They measure 5/8 inches in thickness and have 12 different solid color options. Because all colors use the same style of interlocking tabs and slots on the edge, you can mix and match colors in the layout to create a unique design.

How do you install puzzle carpet squares over concrete?


For a DIY installation of puzzle carpet squares over concrete, you don’t need any adhesive. Just start in one corner of the room and work your way outward, connecting the puzzle edges. Leave a gap of about 1/4 of an inch between the carpet squares and the wall to allow for potential expansion. Should you need to cut any tiles with a utility knife, mark the cut line on the underside of the carpet tile with a marker or pen.
