Types of Cheer Mats
As you might know, cheerleading is multi-faceted. There’s advanced tumbling, intricate stunts, and so much jumping. That’s why we have a selection of folding mats, roll out mats, and crash mats to cater to different types of cheerleading and perfecting all aspects of the routine.
Folding Mats
Portable, soft, safe, fun – those are all words you want to hear when you are choosing a tumbling mat or cheer mat. We offer traditional folding mats for basic tumbling and stunts, junior folding mats for our baby cheerleaders in training, and folding crash mats for those cheerleaders who jump high and land hard. Available in a variety of colors, these folding mats are a great, portable, and cost-effective solution for a practice space that can also be expanded by their velcro sides.
Don’t need these folding mats during the entire practice? No problem! When you aren’t using your folding mats, just fold them up, and set them aside. Plus, being topped with durable, sweat-proof vinyl, folding mats are easy to maintain and clean. All you have to do is sanitize the mat after each use, and store them in a temperature-controlled environment, and these mats will stand all of the jumps and round-off back handsprings you need to practice!
Benefits of Folding Mats
Versatility: Offered in different colors and sizes, folding mats can be installed anywhere, with style.
Easy to install and put away: Simply fold out these mats when you need them, then fold them up when you’re done.
Easy to clean and maintain: Folding mats are constructed of durable closed vinyl fabric. This means that no liquids can penetrate the surface and the folding mat will be extremely resistant to punctures and tears.
Easy expansion: Simply connect multiple mats together to cover a larger space.

Roll Out Cheer Mats
One of our most popular products, our carpet-topped foam at home cheer mats are ultra-durable and safe enough to be used as cheer mats for tumbling, gymnastics, and, of course, cheering. These mats are heavy-duty, meaning they will stay put through your high-impact workouts or intense routines. Even better, roll-out mats can be connected together by velcro strips to make larger mat sizes, perfect for competition flooring.
Benefits of Roll Out Mats
- Shock-absorbent: These mats will absorb the impact of your landings, helping to keep you safe from injury.
- Easy to install: Simply roll out your mat and lay it where you want it. Done!
- Easy to clean and maintain: The durable vinyl or carpeted surface is easy to clean with the quick wipe of a cloth or even a light sweep to remove dust and dirt.
- Versatile: Use these mats for everything from home stunt practice and basic tumbling to bodyweight and high-impact workouts.

Crash Mats
While crash mats are not your typical cheer mats, they sure are nice to have when you’re practicing crazy big stunts or maybe even a human pyramid. These mats are for those times you need a softer landing. At 8”-12” thick, these stand-alone mats provide the highest level of shock absorption by using a built-in mesh that releases air upon landing. For a portable crash mat, there are also folding crash mats that are 4” thick to support you on the go.
Landing mats are perfect for those who want to start learning advanced moves that might have you falling more than usual. Made with compression foam that is encased in durable vinyl, landing mats provide great cushioning for your joints and help protect you from injury. With a reliable landing mat, you can let go of any fear of falling and fully commit to your practice.
Benefits of Crash Mats
- Mildew- and mold-resistant: This material prevents liquids from penetrating the surface, so sweat all you want!
- Maximum shock absorption: These mats will absorb the impact of your landings, helping keep you safe from injury.
- Cushions the blow: With built-in mesh that releases air upon landing, this mat isn’t too stiff during a hard landing.
- Easy to clean and maintain: Crash mats are constructed of durable closed vinyl fabric. This means that no liquids can penetrate the surface and the folding mat will be extremely resistant to punctures and tears.

Cheer Mat Material
Want to know what makes cheer mats so awesome? It’s all in the material that protects you from injury and gives you something softer to land on instead of the hard floor. Our selection of roll-out, folding, and landing mats are made from cross-linked polyethylene foam, topped with real vinyl or a non-slip carpet.
Cheer Mat Surfaces: On top of the shock-absorbent foam, there are two types of cheer mat surfaces: tough vinyl, found primarily on folding mats, or a thick carpeted top on our roll out cheer mats. These surfaces add even more durability to your mat while the foam has the support you need.
Cross-Linked Polyethylene Foam: Getting its name “cross-linked” from the grid-like material, this foam is flexible and ready for the heavy hitters. Being extremely shock-absorbent, this material can bear excessive pressure then return to its original shape.
Even though it’s stiffer than other foam, this material is also incredibly flexible. So lay it out, work out hard, then roll, or fold it up to store it where needed. What more can you ask for?
Cheer Mat Colors
Cheer mats are supposed to be FUN! Of course, we offer a simple black cheer mat, but we think you should be able to choose from various colors to get exactly what you want. Want to sport your team colors in your practice area? With multiple solid color options and a few multi-colored mats as well, you’re sure to find a cheer mat you love that can fit in with your gym decor.
Cheer Mat Reviews
Home Cheer Mats
“My 11-year-old gymnast absolutely loves her mats. We bought three 6’ mats making it more versatile for her needs. If it’s cold or rainy outside she can still put two mats together and stretch and tumble inside. When outside she puts all three together which is plenty of room for a complete running pass. Great cushioning and support. She is in LOVE with these mats!”
4’x8’x2” Folding Mats
“These Mats turned out to be exactly what I needed for my two girls to practice their gymnastics. They hold up great to their tumbling, handstands, and cartwheels. Would definitely consider purchasing more in the future.”
6’ x 42’ Cheer Mats
“The floor is exactly what we wanted! It had great traction. It’s wonderful for handstands! As a surprise side effect, it helps with the noise level!”
