Roll Out Cheer Mats & Gymnastics Mats Buyer's Guide

Transform your living room, basement or playroom into a practice space in seconds with roll out cheer mats and gymnastics mats.

Imagine the ease and portability of a yoga mat. Now imagine that instead of practicing yoga, you can practice cheer, tumbling, gymnastics and more.

Okay, so most of these are a little heavier than a yoga mat - and trust me, when you’re doing back tucks and cheer tosses, you will want that extra bulk - but the same theory of ease and portability applies.

What should you look for in a roll out mat?

Safety

Looking for cheer mats? Check out our buying guide to find the best cheer mats for your skill level. Practice with safety in mind.

Cheer and gymnastics are risky enough without the dangers of the wrong mat. These are high-impact sports, and often times, it’s younger kids and teenagers using these for at-home practice, making safety extra important.

So how do you know if your mat is safe for your specific activities?

Most of the time, as long as you’re purchasing from a reputable source, the product description will let you know which activities it’s appropriate for. For example, if you’re looking at a yoga mat, it’s not going to say “Great for practicing back layouts”. If you’re going to be doing advanced tumbling, make sure the mat you’re looking at is designed for advanced tumbling.

Additionally, you want to check out the thickness and shock absorption. Higher jumps, tosses and more advanced moves require a mat with the shock absorption.

Easy maintenance

If you’re anything like me, you reserve about 1% of my life for cleaning because it is, like, the least fun thing you can possibly do. So, needless to say, I am all about easy and low maintenance!

Our roll out mats are super easy to clean - most of the time, all you need to do is give them a quick wipe down with a damp cloth. Easy as that.

Ready to put your mat away? This is where the roll out option comes in handy! They’re so easy to put up after you’re done using them and need to make space for the next activity.

This is like the beginner’s level mat. But, don’t be fooled; it’s still pretty darn tough and can hold up to a lot of abuse.

Soft, warm, comfortable and durable, this mat is great for at home workouts, stretching, yoga and beginning tumbling.

These babies are also waterproof, which makes them super easy to take care of. In fact, they’ll even float if you toss them in the pool. Although, I have not tried adding a cup holder and using them as a pool raft. If you try that, you should let us know.

If you’re looking for an affordable and versatile mat for home workouts and beginning tumbling, our ⅜” Soft Mats will bring all the boys to your yard (if you’re from a different generation, that means they’ll be a great fit).
