When it comes to at-home fitness, gymnastics, or stretching routines, the right exercise mat makes all the difference. At We Sell Mats, our folding exercise mats are designed to provide comfort, durability, and versatility for workouts of all kinds. To help you choose the best option, we’ve answered some of the most frequently asked questions about our folding mats.
What Size Folding Exercise Mat Should I Purchase?
The size of your mat depends on the type of activity and the amount of space you have available in your home gym or workout space. Our folding mats are available in a variety of sizes: 2’x6’, 4’x6’, 4’x8’ and 4’x10’, giving you plenty of room for tumbling, core exercises, or stretching. If you’re practicing gymnastics or martial arts, a longer mat may be better for safe landings. For general fitness, yoga, or stretching, a smaller mat often works well. For tight spaces, check out our personal size, 2’x6’ mat, available in our core basic line. All of our mats fold up for easy storage.
Pro tip: Measure your workout space before purchasing to ensure the mat fits your room and allows for safe movement.
How Do I Clean My Exercise Mat?
Keeping your exercise mat clean is simple. Our mats are made with durable vinyl covers that can be wiped down after each use. Just use a mild soap and water solution with a soft cloth to remove sweat, dirt, or chalk. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers, as these may damage the surface. Regular cleaning helps extend the life of your mat and keeps your workout area fresh and hygienic.
Pro tip: Allow your mat to dry completely before folding and storing.
What is The Difference Between Core Basic Mats and Folding Exercise Mats?
At We Sell Mats, we offer both Core Basic Mats and Folding Exercise Mats, each designed with specific needs in mind:
-
Core Basic Mats – Lightweight and affordable, perfect for beginners and low intensity workouts. They offer essential cushioning for stretching, yoga, and simple fitness routines with 2 inches of expanded polyethylene (EPE) foam.
- Folding Exercise Mats – Heavier duty with extra thickness and durability, including 2 inches of advanced crosslink polyethylene foam. Ideal for gymnastics, martial arts, cheer, or home workouts that require more support and protection.
Both mats are an excellent choice for home fitness. Choose the one that best suits your space and financial requirements.
Can Your Folding Exercise Mats Be Used Outside?
Yes! Our folding exercise mats can be used outdoors, but with some care. The durable vinyl surface can handle outdoor use on grass, patios, or driveways, but we recommend avoiding prolonged sun exposure or leaving mats outside in the rain. To extend the life of your mat, always store it indoors after use.
