How many tiles do I need?

36″ × 36″ tiles
How we count tiles

Interlocking tiles overlap slightly where they lock together, so each 36″ × 36″ tile covers about 8.78 sq ft once installed. We use that real coverage for your count and finished size, so you don't come up short.

Customer Questions & Answers

31 questions

  • What are the dimensions?

    Our Tatami Tiles are 2' x 2' tiles.

  • How safe are these for use in a kids playroom? Any bad chemical smell? Formamide free? Our gym space will also double as a kids playroom and want to make sure it's safe for the little ones.

    Our 7/8" Tatami Tiles are very safe and are Formamide and Phthalate free. They do not have a chemical smell, but there may be a slight odor similar to a new toy. You can mitigate this with a little soap and water. To get the testing results for our Tatami Tiles, please feel free to reach out to one of our Flooring Heroes via email, chat or phone.

  • Are these comfortable for jumping around on, doing aerobics, etc. while barefoot, or will they tear up foot skin because they are textured?

    Our 7/8" Tatami Tiles were designed with bare feet and socks in mind. These tiles will not tear up your feet and are great for jumping around and some aerobics. With some side-to-side movements, you may see some tile separation. To help alleviate that, we recommend placing some double sided tape under the tiles.

  • These tiles will be used in a commercial school with classes on a daily basis. How long will the tatami tiles last?

    Our Tatami tiles have been built to handle a lot of abuse and are very popular in martial arts studios and the like. There is no particular time frame as to how long these tiles will last, but they are in many commercial spaces and have been used for years with very little issue. And a nice thing about these tiles is that you can replace them with ease if one does become damaged.

  • 5 out of 5 starsThe best Mats available at this price point

    Perfect for Jits, wrestling, Muay Thai, or any other combat sport. This was above and beyond my expectations. I bought a 26 3x3s ti make an 18x12 matted surface in my garage with 24 of them for just over $500. I have the 2 extras set up as corner blockers. Preivioisly I was using some other puzzle mats that are a bit thicker but are harder. These Floor Inc mats absorb the shock way better than those. I transferred those for underneath my rack and weights. Better purpose for them since they are significantly harder. A much more pleasant experience rolling around on these Floor INC mats than other puzzle mats. Plus they look amazing and are top-notch quality. I would purchase from this company 1000 times over. If you’re looking for wrestling or combat sport mats, you’ve come to the right place.

    Great starter floor mats. This is my second order. The first one was 5 years ago. The latest mats are much softer than the original ones I purchased though.

    Response from Customer Service ·

    Thank you for being a returning customer and for sharing your experience! We’re so glad to hear the mats have worked well for you over the years. The updated mats are designed with a softer feel, and we’re happy to know they’re meeting your needs. We truly appreciate your continued trust in us!

  • 5 out of 5 starsPerfect!

    The foam tiles are sturdy and they even sent the extra foam from the interlocking sides to make the mat edges straight. It's the perfect thickness to protect my floor. It did come in a box that was way too big for the mats and the box was damaged when it arrived - but the mat was not damaged in any way.
