Qualities to Look for in Home Wrestling Mats

Many home wrestling mats have a vinyl surface, which is non-abrasive and helps prevent floor burns. A vinyl surface also prevents water-absorption. Secondly, as with any wrestling mat, a home wrestling mat needs to offer plenty of cushion. Our home wrestling mats have foam cores to provide shock-absorption, cushion and protection. Because of the consistent and aggressive impact wrestling floors take, it's important to choose a floor that will remain durable and effective over time. The following 5 best home gym floors for wrestling or grappling will give you further insight into some of the best wrestling floor options on the market.

1. Home Wrestling Mat (10x10 Ft. 1.25 Inch)
