Roll Out Mats

Options for Roll Out Floor Mats

When you need workout flooring for wrestling, martial arts, cheerleading, or gymnastics that you can temporarily install for particular skill-building exercises and easily remove and store afterward, roll out floor mats are the best choice. These versatile mats work for individuals practicing at home or to cover a large space in a studio.

Many roll out floor mat products from Greatmats have a vinyl or carpet top layer to provide traction and stability. They use a thick foam lower layer that yields cushioning in case of falls. Use them for things like practicing throws or tumbling runs, where you need a stable footing while creating a softer landing spot. When you have these products on hand, you can add cushioning anywhere, anytime, helping athletes feel more confident during tough workouts.

Roll Out Floor Mat Types and Styles

You can select among several types of roll out mats from Greatmats that offer key advantages.

Portability

One of the biggest advantages of our roll out floor mat products is the ability to store them between uses. They have a lightweight design and roll into a tight cylinder to make it easy to move them in and out of storage.

If you want to connect several mats to create a large layout, use vinyl tape on the seams to hold them securely together.

Durability

Some of these products ship with a five-year limited manufacturer’s warranty, which shows the excellent durability they offer. Most of the foam in use has a 2.2-pound density to remain viable, even when used for extremely difficult workouts. Most of the mats are made for indoor use only.

Color Options

You can select among multiple solid colors in the top layer of the foam roll out mats, including:

• Black
  
• Royal blue
  
• Navy blue
  
• Gold
  
• Gray
  
• Green
  
• Maroon
  
• Orange
  
• Purple
  
• Red
  
• White

Some products allow for printing custom graphics across the top of the vinyl layer.

Roll Out Floor Mat Materials and Sizes

You have a few different materials and sizes to pick from when you select roll out floor mats from Greatmats.

Vinyl Top Layer

The vinyl top layer roll out mats use a flame-bonding technique to secure the foam to the vinyl. The vinyl layer may have a smooth surface, yet it continues to provide a high level of traction for athletes. Some of the vinyl top foam mats have a tatami surface that is especially popular with martial arts and wrestling.

We offer vinyl top mats that you can use underneath exercise equipment, such as a stationary bike or treadmill. The exercise equipment won’t slide across the floor when you add these mats underneath.

Carpet Top Layer

Foam mats with a carpet top layer provide extra durability for repetitive workouts, such as for cheer or gymnastics tumbling runs. The carpet generates excellent traction, but it’s soft enough to use with bare feet.

Many carpet top roll out mats use hook-and-loop connector systems instead of tape when creating a larger workout space by connecting mats.

Thickness

Select thicker foam materials for a greater level of cushioning. Some of the thickness measurements we have available include:

• 5/8 inches
  
• 1 inch
  
• 1-1/4 inches
  
• 1-3/8 inches
  
• 1-5/8 inches
  
• 1-7/8 inches
  
• 2 inches

Coverage Width and Length

Some of our roll out floor mats have a specific pre-cut length, such as 6 feet or 10 feet, while others allow for custom-cut lengths (with a 15-foot minimum length). Widths available include:

• 2 feet
  
• 32 inches
  
• 3 feet
  
• 5 feet
  
• 6 feet

We also offer a mat kit made for creating an at-home wrestling, martial arts, or cheerleading floor that uses two 5-by-10-foot mats you can attach with vinyl tape or a hook-and-loop system in a home workout space.

Our most popular tumbling roll out mat measures 6-by-42-feet, and many studios connect them for a large layout in a team space.

Roll Out Floor Mat Q&A

Why should you use a foam roll out mat?

Using a foam roll out mat is an easy way to provide cushioning for athletes during skills training. When their workouts are safer, athletes will feel more confident about learning from their mistakes. Roll out mats are easier to install and store than larger products.

How do you keep foam mats together without buckling?

To keep foam mats together without buckling, create an expansion gap at the edges of the layout to account for expansion and contraction. Foam matting has a slight temperature sensitivity that causes it to expand and contract. If the layout has no room to expand, it may buckle at the seams. You’ll only need a gap of 1/4 or 1/2 of an inch in most cases.

How do you install, maintain, and store vinyl roll out mats?

To install vinyl roll out mats, carefully remove the straps and packaging before placing the vinyl side upward and the foam side downward. To store vinyl roll out mats, roll them up slowly to maintain a cylindrical shape before attaching the straps. Store the roll on end. To clean vinyl roll out mats, use a safe cleaning product approved for your brand of mat. Call the Greatmats customer service team for help finding the right cleaner.

How do you clean roll out mats for wrestling and martial arts?

To clean roll out mats for martial arts and wrestling, use a dry mop or broom to remove dust and other dry debris. As needed, use a mop and safe liquid cleaner to disinfect them and clean stains. Avoid saturating the mats.

What are the best roll out mats for rhythmic gymnastics?

The best roll out mats for rhythmic gymnastics include cheer mats with a carpet top layer and foam base or a vinyl top layer and foam base. Some mats are smaller and made for individual use, while others are wider and easy to connect for a large layout.
