Calculations are based on a wall-to-wall installation and taking into consideration the interlock loss of each product, cutting and trimming of the tiles may be necessary in this case. If you are calculating for an island installation, the quantity might be more than needed.

Best Value Karate Mats for Studios or Home
Finding just the right level of cushioning, durability, and firmness in karate mats is easier with our 1 inch thick foam mats for sale.
Our 1 inch foam mat is available at a low price per square foot of coverage, making it a good value. If you have a huge studio area that you need to cover with dojo mats, our 1x1 meter size karate mat delivers a reasonable cost.
To save even more money, our 1-inch interlocking foam mats have a design made for a DIY installation using the puzzle style edges that connect securely. Even when placed under stress, these pieces stay tightly together without requiring glue.
Padding for Martial Arts Workouts
When you need padding on hard floors at the studio or at home, trust our training karate mats to protect the athletes when they fall.
Our 1 inch thick interlocking foam mats have a high quality design that softens the blow from any fall without sacrificing durability or firmness. Athletes won’t sink into the 1 inch martial arts mats, meaning they can make quick, decisive movements.
The high density EVA foam in our mats provides a versatile option that delivers a high level of performance.
Versatile Karate Mats
Although many studios and residential customers use our 1 inch floor mats for karate, they actually work with a wide range of disciplines, including:
Karate
MMA
Taekwondo
Kickboxing
Muay thai
Kung fu
Striking disciplines
These 1 inch foam tiles even work well at a general fitness studio and at a yoga studio. This is one of the most versatile flooring products we offer.
These mats have a smooth leather textured surface that’s great for use with bare feet or with shoes. Athletes can use many different kinds of shoes safely without harming the surface on these tiles.
Double-Sided Martial Arts Mats With Multiple Colors
At a dojo, having the ability to set up different training areas that are designated with unique colors is a significant advantage.
Our mats are available in multiple color choices, letting you set up your studio to match your needs. Each color available uses the same puzzle edge design, so you can mix and match the various colors as part of the normal DIY installation process.
Additionally, each tile is double-sided, so you can flip the tiles whenever they begin to show wear. This further enhances the value of the tiles, as they are usable for far longer than a single-sided tile. Each side has a different color, and the available combinations are:
Black and gray
Black and red
Black and wood grain
Blue and red
Each tile comes with 4 border ramps to create a more finished look. Optional border ramps in the color black are available to reduce tripping hazards.
Disclaimer
Color variation is possible from lot to lot, even within the same order. Using a checkerboard or other multi-color pattern can hep make this variation less noticeable.
Not recommended for outdoor use.
Occasionally, the coloring may transfer from the materials to feet and uniforms. Our experience shows that red and black tiling most often transfers the colors. This is common with EVA.
Maintenance
Product can be damp mopped with hot water. Test your vacuum before use.
Shipping
Ships via freight delivery shrink wrapped on pallets.
Q: My mother is elderly and in bad health. She is very weak and falls. I want a product that will protect her hips and things in a fall. Is this a product you would recommend for that purpose? Or do you suggest a different style?
A: Consider a 1.5-inch-thick tile, also available in 2x2-foot tile sizes. This 1-inch tile is not very soft. Review this blog for fall protection flooring and mat options and comparisons.
Q: Can you glue or tape the mats down?
A: Tape-down installation is preferable to glue-down installation; however, neither is commonly done nor needed in most installations. The tiles will generally stay in place, depending on the size of the installation. Review our 1x1-meter puzzle mat installation page for more information.
Q: What sort of surfaces can these mats be installed on? Laminate floors? Carpets? And will they damage the floors they are laid over?
A: Generally, any hard, flat surface is best; carpeting is not recommended. The martial arts mats will not damage any surface they are installed on.
Q: I am wondering if there is any data on voc's on these. I would like to order them, but I need to know this first.
A: We do not have any testing on VOC; normally, this type of testing is for glues and paints with vapors.
Q: Will the wooden design fade with time or heavy traffic?
A: The mats may show signs of wear over time, but the wood design is not a print-on; it is integrated into the color of the surface texture of the top layer of the mat, so it will not fade or wear off more than a solid color mat.
Q: We are thinking of using this product for our yoga studio. Can you tell me if your EVA foam is formamide-free?
A: The manufacturer of our EVA foam tiles has provided us with a test that states that one sample of an EVA foam tile passed a test that stated the sample was free of formamide. We don't then state that all of our EVA foam tiles are formamide-free. The reason is that all the EVA foam tiles on the market are pretty much the same material. Formamide-free EVA tiles cannot exist, but the formamide will dissipate over time, and one can get a passing test result after a few months of manufacturing.
Q: I plan on putting these over a pine floor in an older home on a pier and beam. Do you suggest some type of breathable vapor barrier between the wood and the tiles?
A: The foam tiles will act as a vapor barrier. So, if moisture is coming up from the underside of the base flooring, the foam tiles will stop the movement of that moisture at the bottom of the foam tiles.
Q: Do you recommend this thickness of tiles for a yoga floor?
A: Yes. We have multiple yoga studios that have found great success with this flooring. Here are a couple for you to see what they say about it.
Kismet Yoga and FitnessPlatinum Yoga
Q: Would you recommend this product to be placed on a concrete basement floor for jump roping?
A: This would be a great floor for that purpose. It is designed for jumping-related activities and will not only reduce fatigue but provide a thermal buffer from the concrete.
Q: Are these good with heat? I was thinking about installing them in my hot yoga studio. I have laminate right now, but it bubbles and separates with the heat (100 degrees).
A: These tiles will not hold up in that heat. Our LonWood Performa would be a better choice for this type of environment.
Q: I have a hardwood floor. Will these mats slide?
A: It depends on the size of the installation, how they are installed and the finish on your floor. In most cases these mats will not slide, especially for larger installations and wall-to-wall installations.
Q: I have a PRX Performance fold-out squat rack with a weight bench. Will it damage this flooring?
A: Heavy objects and furniture will indent the flooring. For short-term use, the indents will bounce back in roughly the same amount of time it took for them to form. Long-term usage of heavy items on this flooring can cause permanent indents.
Sharp objects should be avoided, as they can puncture the EVA foam. This will not affect the performance of the mats but will cause cosmetic blemishes.
Q: Can this flooring be used for aerobic classes?
A: Yes, this can be used for aerobics and is popular in Jazzercise studios.

We love our Great Mats flooring. We opted for the 1" karate mats because the aerobic flooring was on backorder and we needed it quickly; I was worried, but completely unnecessarily. I am so pleased with my decision. No more joint problems for me or my customers-not from our floors! Our old floors were concrete under carpet. These are NOT slippery, yet easy to pivot and dance on. They are easy to clean. We vaccuum or dust with a swiffer-type dry mop and steam mop twice a week to sanitize. They can also be mopped with soap and water-we just haven't found the need to do that with the steam mop.
Customers who left because of joint issues related to our flooring, are now coming back.

We are loving our new flooring! It is being used in a Jazzercise facility where we do lots of high-impact cardio dance. It feels so good on our joints providing the perfect amount of cushion and support. Delivery was quick and easy. Installation was easy overall too. Thank you, Greatmats!

We LOVE our mats!! They are not too soft or too hard, they have a nice grip, and the black and gray colors get so many compliments from parents and visitors.

We absolutely love our new floors from Greatmats! My wife and I have been rolling on Greatmats in dojos for over a decade so we knew we’d be happy with their look and feel in our basement.

This mats are the best quality of mats around, I can’t say but the best in the quality of them.

Greatmats is a very good product. We looked extensively for a durable, stable, foam based flooring for our exercise room. We wanted some cushion for aerobic impacts and some durability with a lasting surface. We ordered the Black/Woodgrain 1 inch Karate mats. They were back ordered and with all the COVID shipping difficulties we didn't get the product a soon as we liked but COVID tended to affect everything last year. Pam and the staff at Greatmats did a great job of keeping us informed of shipping progress and the freight delivery process worked great. We had the product installed and are happy with the outcome. There were some color variations in the individual tiles but David and the Greatmats approach to customer service was great and they handled our issue professionally. The completed floor is great and provides just the cushioning that we were looking seeking for our room.

From start to finish Great Mats made purchasing a new floor for our dojo stress-free. Great customer service and an excellent product. We highly recommend Great Mats.

We LOVE these mats. They are so durable and very well made. We are still using our original 2008 set. Last year we turned them over, and changed the entire look of our Honey Brook studio, and the mats were still like brand new on the underside, which is now our training side. They are easy to clean, durable, and just a great investment.

It is the base layer of our facility so I wanted it to be pretty thick. I wanted something with cushion, of course, but also wanted something that would provide good traction for obstacles and fitness classes and could stand up to a lot of traffic. Being able to easily replace a mat tile was also appealing.
They have held up very well to a LOT of traffic. We have hundreds of kids and adults on our facility floor weekly, and outside of one mat location that gets a huge amount of traffic we haven’t had to replace any mat tiles to this point.
The nice thing is, it should be an easy fix when we do it, just pulling up the individual mat piece and replacing it. Overall, we have been happy with our floor. Everyone I have dealt with did a great job.

I had great service - customer service - satisfaction.
They clean up easy. They look great. So we’re just super excited to have them on our floors.
We do a lot of up and downs. We do a lot of ab work on the mats, so it’s great. People don’t injure themselves.
They’re just really comfortable on the bottom of your feet.

I don’t have to put a wood border around. This one doesn’t go anywhere. The edging holds up. I’m very impressed. They cut well around corners and around poles. We have two poles in our room.

They're durable and age well over time. They stay in place and don't fray. They're soft, but not too soft... soft enough that if somebody fell on them, they'd do the job. You can do rolls or throws or self defense on the mats.

I highly recommend people to use Greatmats. The quality is great. The price is good. The service is good. I don't have any complaints. I've shopped. I don't feel there's need to buy anywhere else.

Greatmats have been huge upgrade for our Karate school. Our 1,600 sq.ft. floor can be cleaned and disinfected in less than 30 minutes and the surface is fantastic to work out on. Very firm but absorbs all impact. A truly amazing product.

I bought my mats from you back around 2005/2004. I purchased the red and blue puzzle 1 inch mats.
I still have them today. I'm actually looking to get new mats for my new location. I got a lot of use out of my mats.
