Types of Folding Gym Mat Options


When you select folding gym mats for home from Greatmats, you have a versatile type of padding that delivers a safe practice area for things like gymnastics, tumbling, cheerleading, martial arts, and ground-based exercises. These accordion-style exercise mats are ideal for multiple situations.

Best Folding Gym Mat Features

Fold-out mats contain a number of features that ensure you can create the floor that you need to match your plans.
  • Different thickness options: Depending on the level of cushioning you need, we typically offer thickness options between 1-3/8 and 4 inches. A few 8- and 12-inch thick models are available for special use cases.
  • Variable thicknesses: By folding our panel mat sections on top of each other, you can create extra thickness when you need more cushioning temporarily.
  • Variable lengths: When opened flat for maximum square footage, you can receive coverage lengths ranging from 4 to 12 feet. If you fold all the panels onto each other, though, you could have a length as small as 2 feet.
  • Variable widths: Available widths in our folding gym mat options range from 4 to 6 feet. We do have a portable mat that measures 20 inches wide.
  • Color options: Multiple colors are available in the vinyl coverings on our cushioned cheer mats, including all blue, all black, all gray, and rainbow colors on each section. We also have some custom color options you can order as well.
  • Connecting edges: Through hook and loop closures on the ends of some mats, you can connect them and create a larger square footage.
  • Simple storage and transport: Because these mats’ sections fold up onto each other, you can stack them to save storage space or to more easily transport them.
  • Temporary use anywhere: They’re lightweight enough to take them to new spaces for usage indoors or outdoors, although they’re not made for permanent storage outdoors.
  • High-quality materials: The polyurethane foam provides maximum cushioning to protect athletes from falls and from the stress of repeated jumps. The vinyl cover stands up to repeated use without showing wear and tear.
  • Easy cleaning: Just wipe down the vinyl covering with warm water and a mild soap cleanser to keep the mats clean.

Which folding exercise mat is right for me?

To find the perfect folding exercise mat, think about the area where you will use it. Pick a model that will fit in your space when it’s laid out flat.
