Exercise mats are essential pieces of equipment in helping to absorb shock, prevent injury, and keep you comfortable during training and workouts. A 1-inch thick exercise mat is ideal for many situations, but it’s important to buy a quality mat that’s right for your workout plans.

You can find and buy a 1-inch thick exercise mat right here at Greatmats. We’re proud to stock an excellent collection of mats that offer the comfort and support you need for workouts, training, floor exercises, yoga, and more.

We stock the very best mats that we can find, and these products are ideal for many fitness uses.

1 Inch Thick (Up to 2 Inches) Exercise Mat Options

We’ve highlighted the best options to help you get started.

1” Martial Arts Karate Mat Premium


1 inch thick exercise mat

The Martial Arts Karate Mat Premium is one of the best 1-inch thick exercise mats that you’ll find. This large pad is crafted with high-density EVA foam that makes the mat a versatile choice. The foam supports quick movements, making the mat ideal for karate studios, though it’s also a popular martial art and judo flooring choice.

The mats help soften fall impacts, but they’re also durable and offer the firmness needed for quick movements. These versatile mats work well for yoga and general fitness studios, and the leather textured surface is ideal for use with bare feet or shoes.

Since the tiles are double-sided, you can flip them over if they’re ever damaged or starting to show signs of wear, maximizing their lifespan and your investment in the flooring. The tiles feature dual colors, so you can also reverse them to create patterns.

Each tile includes four border strips which you can use to create clean, finished edges for island for wall-to-wall installations. Their puzzle-style edges make for an easy installation, and the tiles also hold together tightly.



1-3/8” Discount Gym Mats

If you’re looking for an extra thick mat, consider the Discount Gym Mats. These mats measure 1 ⅜ inches thick and feature an inner PE foam core. That foam supports quick movements but also offers shock absorption and comfort for landing jumps or tumbling.

Since the mats can be dry laid on top of your existing floor, they’re highly versatile and suitable for everything from kids’ exercise sessions or play time to wrestling practice, gymnastics practice, or cheerleading or tumbling practice.

The mats feature Velcro connector strips, allowing you to connect them together to create larger areas for tumbling passes and more. When you’re done, you can disconnect the mats and fold them up for easy storage and transportation.



Gym Mats 2 Inch x 5x10 Ft.


2 inch thick exercise mat

If you want even more shock absorption, consider the Gym Mats 2 Inch x 5x10 Ft. This 2-inch thick exercise mat pairs PE foam that quickly rebounds with a durable 18-ounce vinyl cover. The double-stitched seams are strong, and the hook and loop connectors on all four sides allow you to secure the mats in many different layouts to customize your space.

Measuring 5x10 feet, these mats fold up for easy portability. They’re ideal for martial arts practice, gymnastics skills learning, cheerleading, wrestling, and more. They offer excellent shock absorption and can help to take the sting out of a landing, protecting athletes.



2” Roll Out Mats

The Roll Out Mats is another 2-inch-thick mat choice that offers superior shock absorption. These mats have a crosslinked polyethylene foam base, and the foam is flame-bonded to vinyl for durability. That vinyl has a tatami surface to help prevent painful skin burns.

Measuring six feet wide, the mats can be cut to any length over 18 linear feet per roll, so you can order the mats in the dimensions that work best for your space. Their roll-up capability and lightweight design make them very versatile, and you can easily dry-lay them and then store them away again after practice.

In addition to their quality construction, the mats are backed by a five-year warranty against manufacturer and material defects. These durable mats are a popular choice for mixed martial arts, BJJ, judo, grappling, karate, and more.
