Choose the Octagon Mat for Many Training Uses
The octagon gymnastics mat is a versatile and effective training option that gives gymnastics students and cheerleaders a safe way to train for certain skills. The octagon tumbling mat is ideal for training that involves forward rolls, walkovers, and back handprints. You can use the mats to improve cast hands, pirouettes, and free hips, too.
The mat is not only useful when developing new tumble skills but can also be just as helpful to experienced gymnasts and cheerleaders who are working to develop their moves to the next level.
Additionally, some dancers use them to learn acro moves. The mats are also great additions to sensory rooms, as well as for kids who want to use them as climbing mats for play.
When attempting to pick among the various sizes of our Gymnastic Octagon Training Mats available, a good rule of thumb is that each of the octagon tumbling mat sizes is designed for use by a specific age group and size of athlete.
Choosing the best-size octagon tumbler mat depends on the user's height. These are general guidelines:
20 inches: Suitable for people 35 inches tall or under.
25 inches: Suitable for people between 35 to 43 inches tall.
30 inches: Suitable for people between 44 up to 53 inches tall.
35 inches: Suitable for people between 54 up to 63 inches tall.
40 inches: Suitable for people between 64 inches tall and above.
Enjoy Durable Octagon Mats
The octagon mat features durable construction. It’s filled with premium quality 70 ILD polyurethane foam, which will withstand continued use with excellent bounce-back characteristics.
The mat exterior is a durable, high-quality 18-ounce coated vinyl that is stitched with a strong and tear-resistant Dacron thread. Rugged and tough webbing handles are connected to the end of the mats, making them easy to carry.
Custom Order Your Octagon Mat
The mats are available in six sizes, including the small 15 by 24 inch option, as well as the large 40 by 40 inch mat. The larger sizes are great for cheerleading teams, and the 40 by 40 inch mat will split into two halves to be used for smaller skill development routines.
Additionally, when you custom order your mat, you can choose from 16 mat body colors and 16 mat end color options. That means your octagon tumbling mat is available in 256 different color combinations. Show your team spirit by ordering the mat in your team colors!

Product Questions:
Q: What size would I need for a 5 year old who is working on learning her walkover and backhand spring?
A: We would say a 20x20 inch, however not knowing the size of the child it's hard to say, we want the octagon to meet the back above the buttocks as the child rolls back.
Q: For practicing walkovers, what size would be most compatible for 42'' (5 year old) and 50-52'' (7.5 year old)?
A: The product page has guidelines for octagon size in relation to the user.
Q: Can the product also stand vertically and support a child jumping onto it for plyometric (box jump type) exercises? Are there any other products that are designed or would work for that purpose?
A: We would not recommend activities not specifically designed for this product.
Q: I've read the size guide, but to get a better all-around idea, I was wondering where the ideal spot is for the top of the mat to hit on the athlete. Like low back, etc.?
A: When attempting to pick among the various sizes of our Gymnastic Octagon Training Mats available, a good rule of thumb is that each of the octagon tumbling mat sizes is designed for use by a specific age group and size of athlete. This starts at age 3, with the 15 by 24 inch or 20 by 28 inch size being the best option. This extends up to the 35 by 40 inch and 40 by 40 inch sizes to be used by athletes over 50 inches tall. The 25 by 30 inch mats work well for athletes between 5 and 8 years of age, while the 30 by 36 inch size is best for students less than 50 inches in height. We want the octagon to meet the back above the buttocks as the child rolls back.
Q: Are these made of PU or PVC? Are there any flame-retardant chemicals applied?
A: Our octagon gymnastics mat products are filled with a premium-quality 70 Indentation Load Deflection polyurethane foam. The exterior consists of a durable and high-quality 18-ounce coated vinyl that is stitched together with a strong and tear-resistant Dacron thread.
