Our folding gymnastic and tumbling mats and judo mats are designed for tumbling, martial arts, judo and gymnastic activity. Our mats are manufactured with Cross-linked foam filler, AKA polyethylene. This is a foam that is closed cell. It can float in water. This foam core filler will not degrade over time after years of compressions caused by tumbling rebounds, stunt crashes or martial arts combat. Our athletic mats are hand-crafted with 18 oz. coated vinyl, polyesters scrim, and stitched with Dacron™ thread. Call our gym mat expert now: 1-661-273-8700
Gymnastic mats and judo mats are produced in 2 ft. wide panels which fold accordion style. Velcro on the short sides are standard and can make a long strip of tumbling mats. Gymnastics mats with Velcro on 4 sides can produce an area for free-exercise , martial arts and play rooms. Gymnastic mats can also be hung on walls as wall pads.
Carpeted cheerleading mat rolls is alternative to folding gym mats. If the space-saver folding gym mats does not meet your needs then Wrestling Mats Rolls is another option.
What thickness should I purchase? 1-3/8” thick is recommended for general exercise, stretching, low impact aerobics, non-gymnastic play areas, etc. Two inch thick is recommended for tumbling, cheer leading, judo or other high impact activities like wrestling. 2-3/8" thick is recommended for power tumbling, cheerleading, judo or other high impact activities like wrestling. The advantage of the 2-3/8" thick mat is better rebound, more energy absorption and less stress on the joints. If you budget permits, we would rather be a victim of a judo throw on a 2-3/8" thick judo mat than a one inch thick judo mat.
ABOUT GYM MAT FOAM
Which is better Cross link (polyethylene) foam or Poly foam (polyurethane)?
Cross link (Polyethylene) Cross link is the world standard for gymnastics mats, martial arts mats and tumbling mats. It's a firm closed cell foam that has great rebound capabilities, durable and light weight. This is recommended for serious tumblers/gymnasts/martial artists and wrestlers.
Poly Foam Poly foam
(Polyurethane)is an open cell foam with poor rebound
capabilities but with quality shock absorbency.
Polyurethane may be more suitable for exercise mats for fitness, sit ups, etc. Polyurethane is softer than polyethylene and will
minimize injury more than cross link. Poly foam will provide a safer
landing surface for kids 3-8 years old, esp.
for basic tumbling skills and movement education.
Rubber
Aerobic Mat Rolls Cross link foam is suited for aerobic activity. For a firmer, more durable gym floor, half inch thick black rubber aerobic floors is an option. |
