Carolina Gym Supply 8" Soft Landing Mats are a "must" for a gymnastics facility. Fondly referred to as "8-inchers" by coaches and athletes, the additional cushioning that these soft landing mats provide for less than graceful landings is invaluable for training purposes.

Carolina Gym Supply 8" Soft Landing Mats are made of our durable 18 oz. double-coated vinyl and filled with a firm, yet forgiving foam that will pad your athlete's less-than-graceful landings and are difficult to bottom out. Reinforced handles are made of sturdy webbing and are located on all four sides. Accessible handles makes pulling our 8" Soft Landing Mats onto, and off of, training stations quick and easy!  Our 8" Mats can be purchased with either a mesh top or mesh side windows.  Our standard size 8" mats do not have hook and loop fastener on them, but can be added at an additional cost.

The most common size of 8" mat you'll find in a gym is the 5' x 10'. This size is a staple of any gymnastics program and is highly versatile. Additional common sizes are 4' x 8' and 6' x 12'.  For Aerial Silks and Aerial Arts, the most common size is 6' x 6'.  For home use, a fold can be added in the 6'x6' for a small additional cost.

Also referred to as a "skill cushion", Carolina Gym Supply 8" Soft Landing Mats are often used for several tumbling skills:

• punch fronts
• standing back tucks
• front and back handsprings
• round-off back tucks
• round-off back handsprings
• flat back drills
• back bends
• walkovers
• and more!

On top of tumbling, use 8" Soft Landing Mats for uneven bars (slap-back, fly-away drills) or for vault (stacked on 32" Resi for handstand flat-back drills, progressive vaulting).

"8-inchers" will truly give you the best value for your money!
