Most Common Product Questions For rubber flooring roll at Greatmats:
can this be used in a wet environment such as a car wash?
The mats should stay on top of a dry surface, otherwise they might slip. We have perforated modular tiles that allow water to drain.
What size would I need for a 5 year old that is working on learning her walkover and backhand spring?
We would say a 20x20 inch, however not know the size of the child its hard to say, we want the octagon to meet the back above the buttocks as the child rolls back.
For practicing walkovers, what size would be most compatible for 42'' (5 year old) and 50-52'' (7.5 year old)?
Here is a good size guide SIZE GUIDELINE: 20 x 28 inch (3-5 year old) 25x 30 inch (5-8 year old) 30 x 36 inch (under 50 inch in height) 35 x 35 inch (50-60 inch in height)
Can the product also stand vertically and support a child jumping onto it for plyometric (box jump type) exercises? Are they any other products that are designed or would work for that purpose?
We would not recommend activities not specifically designed for this product.
I am working with teenage girls on walkovers. What size would be best? Of course the girls range in height from about 5'0 to about 5'10. I can only afford to purchase 1 size so I want to make sure I make the best choice. Thanks!

what side should a 13 year old that is 61 inches tall get
The product page has guidelines for octagon size in relation to the user. In your case it looks like a 35x40 would work.
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.? Thanks so much!
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.
