Crash Mats
So today was the first time I actaully fell off the pole. I usually have a couple pillows down on the floor when trying out a new move but this didn’t cushion the fall very well. Any suggestions on where I can get a crash mat that ships to the US?

Hi there,
I purchased my mat from Pole-O-Mat. It took about 2 weeks to get it, but well worth it. Here’s the link: http://www.poleomat.com/.
Deb Riley is the owner and wonderful to work with. Here’s her personal email address: mailto:smileyrileys@hotmail.co.uk.
I think I paid $193 USD which included shipping. I’m very pleased with it and feel very safe when learning new moves such as inverts.
Take care.

I think I’m going to be ordering one of those too T! Which one did you get?? the 2"??

I got the 2" mat.

if you can’t afford a crash mat, you could always use your sofa’s cushions and couch pillows! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

Oooh! 193 isn’t bad!
Did yours come with the stuffin’ or did you have to get your own stuffin? -
I sell these in North America! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Oh, nice looking mats Alena! Looks like they would be easy to keep clean, looks like you could just wipe them off. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

They are made with high quality vinyl, which is easily kept clean with an antibacterial soap and water…and are very long lasting!
Foam is high density, which will not bottom out when you stand or fall on it! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

It was stuffed already and even came with a tote! Love it!!!!
-
Nice!
I didn’t know your mats had come out, Alena! HARDCORE.
Five inches of gloriousness appeals to me. I think perhaps I could fall a great distance with little concern onto that!….
Pink also appeals. and 200$ with shipping.…
I thank jesus for capitalism to give me so many glorious choices.

Does anyone know exactly how to order Alena’s crash mat? I’ve been trying for near a week now to figure it out. I went to her main site, and it doesn’t even discuss the mats. So I decided to use the ‘contact us’ feature on her webpage, and heard nothing back. I tried again, and got nothing. I feel like I have to be doing something wrong and there’s a pretty little webpage somewhere just waiting for me to order from it.
And maybe Alena is just real busy. I know she has something big going on in September. If anyone has had luck ordering her crash mat, could you please let me know how you ordered it? Thanks!

Try giving her a call. She’s organizing a big pole event that’s happening this week and it’s been a bit hard to get a hold of her online lately.

I had the same problem getting ahold of Alena (she had an event at the time, too), but she WILL get back to you. When she does, service is really good. I got the "Junkies" mat and it was totally worth it. You can see it in my cross-knee release pic which I wouldn’t have been able to do without it. The first time I finally nailed this move, I was so sweaty that I held it ever so briefly and then, slid at warp speed to the ground. I would’ve been in REALLY bad shape without it. Safety first! Cannot recommend it too highly.
-
I ordered the Junkie mat too! She said it’s being shipped some time today, so it should be here in a week or so.
I’ll let everyone know how I find it!

I have a full size 3 inch thick memory foam mattress that I cannot sleep on anymore because it aggravates my upper back. (My mom has one too and had to stop sleeping on hers because of similar back problems…)
ANYWAAAAY… I was thinking that I could cut it up into squares and stack them and make a nice crash mat for myself…
What do you guys think? Any memory foam mattress users out there? good for crashing down onto? or no?
