Gymnastic Mats, Skill Development, Cushion Mats

4-inch: Our 4-inch gymnastics skill cushions mats are built for preschool and toddler rooms, where a little extra protection is needed. Young gymnasts won't be performing the extensive skills or dismounting from the heights that more advanced gymnasts will, so a thinner gymnastics crash mat works perfectly - and saves you money.

8-inch: Our 8-inch gymnastics cushion mats are the most common option for gymnastics and tumbling programs. These types of gymnastics crash mats provide great versatility, allowing them to work for numerous different events and skills training. The 8-inch thick crash mats are a nice option as a starter mat for a gymnastics school or for providing a practice mat for gymnastics or cheerleading work at home.

12-inch: If the students in your program are performing skills that require extra protection, try our 12-inch mats. These mats are used for safe landings. Just keep in mined that your gymnast will sink in the mats. For landings on two feet, competition landing mats are recommended versus these super soft mats or landing in a foam pit with numerous foam cubes where you'll have an uneven surface on which to land. (All of our 8- and 12-inch skill cushions are designed with breather mesh sides and double-stitched top surfaces.)

When trying to decide the best thickness level to order, consider how you'll use the mats. The thinner mats tend to work better for learning tumbling skills, where you need a firmer surface to allow for running and tumbling. Folding gym mats are generally the mats of choice for this application. When performing skills where the student will be practicing landing or dismounting, a thicker cushion mat is a good idea. Be sure to check out the 4 inch thick skill cushion mats for school aged kids.

Sizes of Skill Cushion Mats

These all-around skill cushion mats are available in dimensions of 4 by 6 feet, 4 by 8 feet, 5 by 10 feet, and 6 by 12 feet. The smaller sizes are more compact and portable if you plan to be moving the mats around. If you won't be moving the mats as often or you need a bigger landing area, choose one of the larger sizes.

Folding and Non-Folding Mats

These Safety Gymnastics Mats are available in non-folding, single-fold, or bi-fold options.

Single-fold skill cushions have one fold in the middle of the mat. We offer them in various sizes and thickness levels for gymnastics crash pads. Additionally, we offer bi-fold skill cushions with two folds in the mats.

These mats can be used completely flat, working similarly to the skill cushion mats listed above. Or you can fold these crash mats over onto themselves, allowing for a two-layer thickness. This gives you a greater thickness level but half the landing area in the mat. The ability to fold the mats and create a different thickness and size gives these mats a lot of versatility.

The 4x6 and 4x8 foot size mats are not available in a folding option.

You can order either our single fold or bi-fold gymnastics crash pad options in thickness levels of 4 inches, 8 inches and 12 inches. Available dimensions include 5 by 10 feet and 6 by 12 feet.

One advantage of selecting a single fold or bi-fold mat is that you can fold up these crash mats to make them easier to transport. Certainly, you can drag larger mats across the gym to reach the new location, but if you want to carry your cushioned mats to a different building or to place the mats in a vehicle, having a fold-up mat will make it much easier to carry.

Another reason to use a foldable mat is to give beginner students a mat they can use as a beginner vault apparatus before they migrate to the trampoline area of the vault.

Specifications for Mats

The vinyl used in each product is 6P compliant for phthalates and is lead free, which meets California state law Proposition 65 requirements. Because these mats do not offer waterproof or UV stable capabilities, outdoor use is not recommended.
