Was this helpful?I'm trying to decide between this cheer mat and the home fitness mat for a garage gym. I want something that will absorb the shock of jumping exercises and not give too much underfoot. Does the cheer mat have too much "give" for HIIT workouts, or would it be a better mat for a concrete floor?
Our Home Cheer Mats can be used as a mat for high impact workouts, but our Home Fitness Mats would be better. The Fitness Mats were designed with high impact workouts in mind. Both mats are very shock absorbent, but the Fitness Mats feature a vinyl top that is easier to clean and sanitize.
Was this helpful?What is the difference between your Cheer Mats and your Wrestling Mats?
The only difference between our Home Cheer Mats and our Home Wrestling Mats is that the Home Cheer Mats have a carpet top while our Home Wrestling Mats have a vinyl top.
Was this helpful?I am considering this to cover a 10x10 home gym. Would this adequately support a spin bike and treadmill in terms of stability while operating the equipment? Understand that the foam would give to the weight of the equipment, and one wouldn’t want to move these large pieces around the floor, but would the bike remain stable on top of the foam while riding?
You could place a spin bike and treadmill over our Home Cheer Mats. The weight of the equipment will cause indentations in the mat, but the equipment will be stable on the mat. To help mitigate the indentations, we recommend placing some furniture sliders under your equipment's feet.
Was this helpful?Do these mats come with Velcro strips to keep them together and from moving?
If you order two or more mats, you will get strips of velcro to keep the mats together. The velcro goes on the top of the mats. If you are concerned about the mats moving when installed, we recommend adding some tape under the flooring to keep the mats in place over slippery subsurfaces.
Was this helpful?What is the diameter of the Cheer Mats when rolled up for storage?
Here are the rolled up sizes of our Home Cheer Mats. 4' x 6' x 1 3/8" mats: 12" x 12" x 48". 4' x 6' x 2" mats: 16" x 16" x 48". 5' x 10' x 1 3/8" mats:17" x 17" x 60"
Was this helpful?What would you recommend as protective matting for a children's play gym that is about 4-5 feet high?
Home Cheer Mats or Home Wrestling Mats would be great for a play gym. They give great cushion and area easy to clean or move around when needed.
Was this helpful?What would be the best choice for lateral movement wihtout risk of tripping? we are moving to a third floor condo with carpet. Want to reduce annoying sounds for new neighbors below. We are doing walking videos with lateral moves, backwards motion and HIIT training.
Home Cheer Mats are great for HIIT training and lateral movement. Cheer Mats can be connected with the hook-tape that is included with any order of two or more mats. The tape holds the mats together and eliminates a tripping hazard.
Was this helpful?Would this work well for jumping rope (shock absorption, responsiveness...)?
Our Home Cheer Mats could be used for jumping rope, but they wouldn't be the best option. Our Home Wrestling Mats or our FlexFit mats would be a better choice as the top surface will be more durable. The carpet top, over time, would become damaged. The other mats have a durable vinyl top that will not be as easily damaged and will last a lot longer.
Was this helpful?Can they be used outdoor and exposed to rain?
Our Home Cheer Mats can be used outdoors and can withstand the elements. The top of the mat is carpet, so it can be a little more difficult to keep clean but will last outdoors.
Was this helpful?I am planning to use this on a white carpet. I am afraid that the back of this mat might make it discolored or cause any damage to the carpet?
The back of our Home Cheer Mats is made from foam that will not stain any surface, including white carpet. Since these are made in a warehouse and are shipped, we would recommend cleaning the bottom of the mat with a mild soap and water solution to ensure no dirt stains the carpet or any other light-colored surface.
Was this helpful?What is the weight of a 4' x 6' x 2" cheer mat?
Our 4' x 6' Cheer Mats weigh approximately 12 lbs no matter the thickness and our 5' x 10' Cheer Mats weight approximately 23 lbs.
Was this helpful?What material are these made from?
Our Home Cheer mats are constructed with Crosslink Polyethylene Foam bonded to a 26 oz Needle-Point Carpet top.
Was this helpful?How soft are your 1 3/8 inch cheer mats? Could they be used for yoga?
Our Home Cheer Mats use XPE foam with a density of 2.2psi which is plenty of cushioning for yoga.
Was this helpful?I would like to make my garage into a tumble gym for my boys. I would need to park a car in the garage once in a while. Can these mats withstand a car on them for an evening?
We do not recommend driving a car over our Home Cheer Mats. The weight of a vehicle can cause tears in the foam or rips in the carpet top.
Was this helpful?I am considering this as a standing mat for a golf simulator. Would this stay firm under foot or does it have to much give? Also is the depth exactly 2" with carpet or 2" of just foam and carpet on top of that?
For a golf simulator, we recommend checking out our selection of artificial turfs and grasses found here: https://www.flooringinc.com/artificial-grass-flooring.html. You will be able to build a more natural-feeling stance when using those products vs. a foam mat.
Was this helpful?How squishy are these mats? I'm wanting a squishier mat to do more difficult things that you would normally have a mattress for. I do not need that much, but somewhere in between that and a normal mat.
Based on your specifications, I recommend our Folding Landing Mats(https://www.flooringinc.com/gymnastics-mats/folding-landing-mats.html) or our Crash Mats (https://www.flooringinc.com/gymnastics-mats/crash-mats.html). These mats would give you more cushioning for more challenging moves but won't be as soft as a mattress.
