  • Thickness of crash mat?

    Posted by maurer rose on June 22, 2012 at 6:47 am

    I'm looking at buying a crash mat. I've seen them sold in thicknesses from 1" (2.5 cm) to 6" (15 cm). What do I need, really? I don't want to spend more money than I have to and it would be easier to store a thin mat, but… safety first…

    Please let me know what thickness crash mat you have, whether it's on plush carpet or a hard surface, and your experience with it. Also, does the foam in different brands all have about the same "give"/compressibility?

    Thanks.

    Some really good info here:

    Also if you search crash mats on this site you will find more infor than you could imagine.  I want to say the standard is 2-3 inches.

    Hi,  I've got a 6 inch mat from poledancemat.uk, There's pictures of it on my profile that I did for another girl on here a little while ago.  I was going to get a 4 inch mat but the 6inch was only about £30 more. its brilliant the foam is firm and excellent quality.

    I pole on a hard concrete kitchen floor and the mat is as good as new one year after I bought it.  I'm in the u.k and the only other mat at the time I could find was the lulu mat but that was just too expensive, I think I paid £150 inc p&p
