FAQ Gymnastics Mats Q&A

  1. What is a smart pick for gymnastic pads?

    For a workout in a basement, foam is nice for cushioning and comfort. With the right level of cushion, customers receive some anti fatigue properties, allowing for longer exercising sessions versus simple floor tiles. Thinner measurements in this style may work for yoga as well.

  2. What size of the best tumbling mats should I get?

    Longer runs are great for giving cheerleaders the ability to put together skills. And after practice is over in the house or at the studio, our folding gymnastics tumbling mats collapse to a small size for easy storage, which is an important consideration. With the tough covering, it will last a long time.

  3. Why are gymnastics mats so expensive?

    Durability is a key component in a floor mat, meaning customers gain a long lasting product for a good value. Our cushioned products have double stitching in the seams. The exteriors are extremely tough. The high quality polyethylene core is trustworthy too, enhancing the value.

  4. How big are official cheer mats?

    A common size is 6 by 42 feet per roll. And a competition cheer floor generally uses 9 rolls, while a competition gymnastics floor uses 7 rolls.

  5. What is a gym mat?

    It is highly forgiving with cushioning that’s designed to help gymnasts land safely during tumbles, dismounts, and vaults. A roll mat will roll up for storage, using a thinner design that maintains great rebound properties as a folding exercise mat.

  6. What are the best gymnastics mats?

    Pay attention to the build of the product. Stick with the quality of our Made in America gymnastic mats. These have the highest levels of craftsmanship, making them a smart choice. These well-constructed materials will deliver impressive value over time, while delivering the safety features required for maximum athletic performance.

  7. What do gymnasts use for padding for landings?

    Cushioned, thick units are the most desirable option. Cheerleading tumblers will appreciate them for practicing cartwheels, walkovers, handstands and backflips. But they have multiple additional use cases too beyond being ''cartwheel mats''. They are great for workouts at a residence for martial arts and wrestling, creating a cushioned area for hitting the ground. Theater companies will use them for a safe landing in a scene where a fall from height is required. Ours have a lightweight design that delivers ideal protection, while being easy to store and move.

What's the difference between the training mat styles?

  • Octagon Mats

    Certain techniques require octagon shaped gear.

    Greatmats sells it with reliable build tolerances and price points, allowing it to stay in its precise eight sided shape, even when used regularly.

    It functions especially well with youngsters and novices. Teachers will use it for a variety of skill building movements, including walkovers, back handsprings, and forward rolls.

    Cheer teams appreciate the octagon skill shape for workouts, especially those involving flexibility. We carry multiple sizes for both older and younger athletes.

  • Incline Wedge Mats

    A gymnastics incline mat, also called a cheese mat, offers a helpful tool for trainers to use. Every age and experience level can benefit from the wedge to gain skill improvement.

    It excels in delivering uphill vaulting and transition training for bars. Or use it for basic conditioning and development for tumblers and gymnasts.

    Larger units can function as spotting tables. For certain skills, pair wedges with octagons for the maximum benefit.

    When trying to select the correct level of thickness measurement for gymnastics mats for kids, remember that thin ones are ideal for developing techniques. Thicker units, measuring up to 12 inches, will provide optimum shock absorption.

  • Landing Mats

    Count on us to carry a wide selection of landing mat models to fit any studio. Choose from different sizes, thicknesses, connectors and color options.

    Landing mats are built to withstand intense use and rigorous demands. They provide plenty of cushion on dismounts. Shipping is available in both foldable and non-foldable styles in either 12- or 20-centimeter thicknesses.

    They feature a heavy duty number 10 YKK molded zipper that's durable. Our safety cushions are available in multiple depth measurements.

    The 8 inch model is a nice tumbling mat for home practice to land with a sure footing. The 12 inch unit is suitable for high impact activities at studios.

    Both have double stitches on the surface. They will not split under pressure. They deliver superior absorption for the shock of landing.

    Our Fluffy Denim Crash Mat will yield outstanding protection for the body’s joints from hard crashes. This softness is necessary for training involving impact.

    The 12 inch design is created specifically for skill development actions where athletes land on their backs or stomachs.

    These fluffy pillow-like cushions have denim covers. They help to take the sting out of a dismount, increasing comfort. They work for bars and vault as well.

  • Wall Pads

    Wall padding is a great addition to any gymnastics training or competition space. These mats are especially helpful in areas where gymnasts will be performing tumbling passes or at the end of a vault where athletes will have gathered a lot of speed but may not always be looking straight ahead. Wall pads can help prevent serious injury should the athlete make contact with the wall.

    Greatmats offers wall padding available with custom sizing, graphics colors and design. These mats can be made to go around everything from outlets, to light switches, widows and door handles.
    Wall padding can be made for permanent or temporary installations as well.

  • Folding Mats

    Folding mats are wonderful for skill training both in the gym or at home. They add plenty of cushion for stretching and absorb a great deal of impact for tumbling or fall protection around balance beams, uneven bars, parallel bars or pommel horses.

    This mats are available in numerous size options to accommodate nearly any space. In most cases multiple mats can even be connected together to make long runs or floor exercise practice areas. They are also easy to store when not in use as they fold up into a tight bundle.

    Lay them on the floor for ground-based impact absorption. Take them outside for practices. Attach them to walls as an economical wall padding solution. Or fold and stack them for multilevel training assistance.

  • Roll Out Mats

    Covered in carpet, roll out mats make great padded flooring solutions for tumbling and floor exercise routines. These mats are the fastest to install over large areas and greatly limit the number of seams.
    Carpet topped mats are effective in taking the slap or sting out of landing on the mats.
    Find roll out gymnastics mats in both home and commercial sizing. Home sized rolls are easy for an adult to carry as the are very lightweight but still have some significant size. Larger rolls will require at least two people to carry.

  • Foam Underlayment Rolls

    When you're simply looking for extra padding or cushion under an existing flooring or matting system foam rolls are a great solution. Like the roll-out mats, they cover large areas quickly with minimal seams. They also are firm enough to create a stable and even padded subsurface for extra protection against falls.

    These foam pads are available in multiple thickness options ranging from 5/8 inch to 2 inches of thickness.

    Made of polyethylene sports foam, the rolls should not be used as a finished surface. They are commonly used under carpet topped roll out mats.

The thickest flat mats would be your landing mats or crash pads - generally up to 12 inches.
