When it comes to outfitting your facility, whether it's a school gym, fitness centre, or sports hall, selecting the right gym mats isn't just a matter of aesthetics or budget. Safety, performance, and durability must take priority. At Foams4Sports, we understand that organisations need reliable, high-quality gym mats that meet rigorous safety standards while offering long-term value.
Why Safety Should Be Your Top Priority
In any athletic or recreational setting, safety is non-negotiable. Inadequate or poor-quality mats can lead to increased injury risks, liability concerns, and ultimately, damage to your organisation's reputation. Whether it's cushioning a fall during gymnastics, providing traction for fitness classes, or absorbing impact during martial arts, the right gym mat is your first line of defence.
All our gym mats are manufactured to meet or exceed industry safety standards, ensuring peace of mind for both facility managers and users.
Key Factors to Consider When Selecting Gym Mats
1. Activity Type
Different activities require different mat specifications:
Gymnastics & Tumbling: Look for high-impact foam cores with excellent shock absorption.
Martial Arts & Combat Sports: Prioritise mats with slip-resistant surfaces and firm, yet forgiving, densities.
General Fitness & Aerobics: Opt for lightweight mats with easy portability and sufficient grip.
Schools & Play Areas: Choose soft play mats with antibacterial coatings and easy-clean surfaces.
2. Thickness & Density
The right thickness and density balance comfort with safety. For example:
Light fitness use: 20-30mm
Gymnastics: 40-60mm
Martial arts: 20-40mm interlocking mats
Foams4Sports offers custom thickness options tailored to your specific needs.
3. Durability & Maintenance
Organisations need mats that stand up to heavy, repeated use. Our mats are constructed with high-quality PVC covers, sealed edges, and resilient foam cores to resist compression and wear over time. Easy-clean surfaces help reduce maintenance costs and ensure hygiene standards.
4. Compliance & Certifications
Always verify that your gym mats comply with relevant safety certifications. Foams4Sports is committed to supplying fully compliant products backed by years of industry experience.
