Greatmats Safety Gymnastic Mats Bi-Fold 5×10 ft x 4 inch

Toddler Rooms: Our 4-inch safety gymnastics 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 safety gymnastics mat works perfectly – and saves you money. Tumbling Practice: Our 8-inch safety gymnastics mats are the most common option for gymnastics and tumbling programs. These types of safety gymnastics mats provide great versatility, allowing them to work for numerous different events and skills training. The 8-inch thick safety mats are a nice option as a starter mat for a gymnastics school or for providing a practice mat for gymnastics or cheerleading. Thick Mats: For the more advanced athlete and skills, try our 12-inch mats. These mats work great for learning new skills where the gymnast needs a flat landing area that provides just a little bit of firmness to ensure a safe landing on two feet versus 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 safety gymnastics mats are designed with breather mesh sides and double stitched top surfaces.)

Safety Gymnastic Mats Our safety gymnastics mat options include large, thick mats that work well for general skills development and practice. These are simply good all-around mats that work with numerous different pieces of equipment around the gymnastics school. You’ll find the gymnastics crash mats prices in this category of mat. Our skill cushion mats are offered in three thickness levels of 4 inches, 8 inches and 12 inches. And 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. When trying to decide the thickness 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. When performing skills where the student will be practicing landing or dismounting, a thicker cushion mat is a good idea. Safety mats are important for not only helping students avoid significant injuries, but they also will prevent leg and joint fatigue for students, meaning they are able to practice for a longer period of time. Safety gymnastic mats: – Are versatile all-around mats that can serve multiple purposes in your program – Are available in three different thickness levels, and four different dimensions – Can help to prevent injuries, leg fatigue, and joint fatigue – Mean that students can practice comfortably for longer periods of time Single and Bi-Fold Safety Gymnastic Mats Single fold safety gymnastic mats have one fold in the middle of the mat. These mats can be used completely flat, working similarly to the safety gymnastic mats listed above, or you can fold these safety mats over onto themselves, allowing for a two-layer thickness. This gives you a greater thickness 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. 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 safety 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. Single and bi-fold safety gymnastic mats: – Fold up for easy storage while taking up minimal space – Are available in three different thicknesses and two different dimensions – Are easy to carry and transport – Can be folded up to use as a beginner vault apparatus
