Soft Landing Mats

Soft landing mats serve for safety and prevent injuries, which is why they are standard equipment in every gymnasium and sports hall, e.g. a school. The non-slip soft landing mats (anti-slip) prove to be an ideal safety concept, especially for uncontrolled landings or landings from great heights. This applies equally to climbing, bouldering, gymnastics and athletics. Due to the high sinking depth, jumps and landings can be optimally cushioned and the risk of injury minimized. Laying two or more gymnastic mats on top of each other can additionally increase the cushioning. This also makes soft landings on particularly sensitive parts of the body, such as the back, possible. Soft landing mats can also be combined with jumping mats, which further increases safety for children and young people.

Soft landing mats as effective protection against injuries

Safe fall protection thanks to the highest quality

A soft landing mat consists of a foam core, which is covered on the underside and top with a tarpaulin. The foam core makes the exercise mat soft and gives it excellent cushioning properties. This gives the mat a high penetration depth. Your gymnastics mat nevertheless ensures perfect dimensional stability and resistance to external influences. It is also washable and tear-resistant, which means that it can also be used outdoors. Soft landing mats are available in a wide variety of variants. They differ not only visually, but also in their fall protection properties. If you want to buy a soft landing mat, you should pay particular attention to the quality of the materials used and high-quality workmanship. This is the only way to ensure safety during sporting activities.

Which soft landing mat is optimal?

The ideal soft landing mat depends on the planned area of application. It not only makes a significant difference for which sport the mat is to be used. The type of protection that is required of it is also a decisive criterion. A soft landing mat can not only be used as a fall protection mat, but also as a side impact protection when set up. Basically, you should take a closer look at the following properties of a soft landing mat before buying:

• size
• Weight
• Execution
• Accessories

The size of a soft landing mat depends primarily on the area that is to be secured as fall protection. If you have a larger area to secure here, you can also use foldable soft landing mats. These are much easier and more space-saving to store. The weight should of course not be too low, as this would otherwise affect the stability and robustness. The thicker a soft landing mat, the heavier it is. A heavy weight makes them unwieldy, but the thickness of the gym mat should be chosen so that it has a sufficient penetration depth. Only then does it offer adequate protection. An appropriate volume weight is approx. 20 kg / cubic meter. Versions with leather corners, carrying handles, Velcro corners and non-slip sub-floors are also useful. Replacement covers, wall mountings and a mat trolley for easier transport are suitable accessories.

The soft landing mats can also be used as bouldering mats for bouldering. Furthermore, the soft landing mats are ideal for school sports, club sports and children's gymnastics.
