Exercise Foam Mat


Versatility is a great feature of our stylish foam play mat tiles. The bright colors look amazing, while the well-constructed EVA (short for ethylene vinyl acetate) provides plenty of durability.



For example, using a jumbo foam play mat other companies offer will not match the durability and comfort that ours provide for children playing and for exercises in a residence, including aerobics, Pilates, or taekwondo. This is a common use case for a customer. 

These floor tiles are offered in three double sided, brightly colored options. Choose from green/brown, red/blue, or black/gray. The reversible models allow for the desired tone to be visible on top. Our customers have created a checkerboard or other designs with the double sides. A customer can let his or her creativity show through with this large foam play mat. 



Another common use for these floor play mats is to provide areas for marital arts practice and classes. For an athletic studio where classes are offered, or for a safe practice area outside of class time, the exercise floor mat is a perfect option. It will provide a soft landing space that’s also durable. 

Our foam play mat sizes are extremely popular. They’re easy to move into place and install. Each measures 2 by 2 foot with puzzled edges.

All colored tiling in our kids play mats feature the exact same puzzle edge designs, which means all of them will fit together tightly. 


Each only weighs 2 pounds, thanks to its lightweight ingredients and configuration. A single person can move the soft play mats around and position them for the install.



Line up the tabs on one with the slots on the adjacent unit. Then step on or press on the puzzle edges to pop them into place.  



To create a pattern, use the different tones in the exercise tiles, including brighter and neutral colors. Lay them out first to ensure there's enough of every color to yield the desired pattern. Once arranged properly, just pop them together. 



Our play mat foam will work as either island or tight to the wall installations. There are multiple examples on our website for helping choose which one of these to use.

Installation of One Piece Foam Play Mat


The island design means the installer will be creating a free standing install in the middle of a room that does not touch the walls. If placing them in multipurpose rooms, the island exercising areas will be clearly differentiated from the remainder of the room. We include border strips with this style for yielding a flat, finished edging. 


Full room installs look great, as the pieces will stretch across the entire length and width, touching the walls. However, to create this style, certain of the foam exercise mat selections must be cut to fit properly.



Use a utility knife or a box cutter with these floor mats home selections. Cut against a straight edge guide until penetrating them. A single unit measures about 0.79 inches in thickness. A sharp blade will cut through it successfully after several strokes. 



Our foam exercise mats are designed for a dry lay installation. No adhesive is required, either on the back or on the puzzled style edges. Without adhesive, they can be disassembled to return to the original floors. Or use the different shades to change up the patterns of the installations on occasion. 



Count on our Greatmats products to outperform those found at big box stores when you want to uniformly cover large areas. We only offer those that contain the highest build quality, yielding a tremendous value.



Use this gym flooring for home for all kinds of workouts and sports. Our best puzzle exercise mat product will stand up to rough treatment with a material density rating of Shore C 35. Each carries a 1-year manufacturer’s warranty. 

Interlocking Exercise Floor Mats


Many of our customers love the versatility they receive with these, which yield a closed cell configuration. This means they offer a flexibility and consistency that resembles rubber. In fact, these are so close in appearance that they’re often referred to as foam rubber tiling. However, EVA contains no rubber. 

It will absorb shock.

This makes it an extremely desirable option for judo, where a student could fall or be taken down quite often. The shock absorption makes it a safer type for students than a hard subfloor. 



Additionally, the construction gives it the durability that makes it so popular. It has a firmness to it that gives students and athletes the sturdy footing they need to make quick and powerful movements. Excessively soft flooring causes students to run the risk of turning an ankle as their feet sink into the material. 



As another benefit, it serves as an anti fatigue layout. It's more forgiving on the student’s ankle and knee joints versus other types. This allows a student to avoid muscle fatigue and sore legs. They will be able to practice longer and more efficiently. 



Ours feature a lot of versatility. It works with wrestling shoes or bare feet with equal success. Additionally, tennis and boxing shoes will be safely used on the surface, which contains thatched patterns, providing a bit of traction for athletes. 



Please contact the knowledgeable customer service team at Greatmats for help with determining how many to order. These calculations can be a little tricky because of the puzzled edge, which can affect coverage area. We can help with figuring out the counts to order for the desired color patterns too. 



Please understand the color and shade may vary somewhat within the same order. This is a common occurrence with this model and not a manufacturing defect. 



To counteract coloring differences, we’d recommend creating some sort of pattern, such as a checkerboard. With multiple colors in the home gym floor mats, the same colorings won't be adjacent, making the shading issues far less obvious. 



They measure 0.79 inches thick. Certain customers will desire a thicker unit, depending on potential use cases. For those interested in another thickness option, contact us for more information. Explain to our personnel how these will be used, and we will be able to make the best recommendation on products. 



For example, these work extremely well for impact absorption when practicing jumping kicks. However, for those seeking a critical fall height rating, a much thicker model is required. We offer MMA styles rated for up to 4 foot falls with a thickness measurement almost double these. 

FAQ Foam Play Mat Q&A

Why are foam play mats good for babies?
Ours are smartly designed, making them a favorite baby gift for a girl or boy. They are even cushioned enough to use for tummy time. Yet they have just a bit of texture and grip on them, so babies just learning to walk will not slip. For this reason, these also will function nicely as large play mats for toddlers.


Is a foldable foam play mat safe?
Commonly mistaken for rubbery floorings, heavy duty foams are softer and safer. The colorful options found with these give you greater creativity in designing the layouts versus black only selections. Easily convert hard surfaces in the house, such as a basement, attic, or garage, into comfortable and safer sports floorings for youngsters. Some have foldable designs, making them easier to store, and the folding configuration doubles up the padding and will create a thicker landing area for extra cushioning.


Can you use foam mats outside?
We do not recommend using these in anything but a very brief outdoor installation. The foams will expand when exposed to direct sunlight and heat. These do not have an added UV treatment, so this is not sunlight protective flooring.



Can foam mats get wet?
These will not absorb moisture, so they can be used safely in places where there may be occasional spills or sweat from workouts. Wipe clean with a towel, rather than allowing the liquid to sit on the surfaces. Do not use them outdoors where they could be exposed to frequent rain.

How do you clean a baby foam play mat?
Mop them with a standard household cleaner, as long as the cleaner does not contain bleach. They are easy to clean, as basic soap and water will work nicely for the cleaning, keeping the surface of the material safe from germs for babies crawling on their hands and knees. We do not recommend steam cleaning with these interlocking gym mats. The steam may cause them to expand. They are not machine washable either. Test any vacuum for causing discoloration before using it on the full layout.
