Tumbling mats are essential requirement for a gymnasts. Whether for a professional gymnast or a learner, to get the basic grip and fall, tumbling mats are required as these mats provide with cushion. During practice or performing, there are chances of the player falling down. Using tumbling mats reduce the impact of the fall, and thereby decrease the chances of injuries. Thus one of the main reasons why these mats are demanded is increased safety. Infact tumbling mats are also used for yoga and martial arts practice.

There are a number of choices available in the market for tumbling mats and at times it becomes very difficult to select the right mat. There are certain factors to consider to choose the right mat which we are discussing below:

• Firstly, consider the the thickness of the mat. Also know the age of the user. His or her size, weight and level of activity should also be known. The mat should be more durable and more hefty with greater level of intensity and activity. The more thick the mat is, the less painful the fall is. Usually the thickness available are 1/2 inch, 3/4 inch, 1 inch, 2 inch and so on. For tumbling purpose, the tumbling mat should be atleast 2 inch. A thicker mat should always be the preferred choice.

• The materials used in making tumbling mats are durable, non-porous materials like rubber or vinyl, with tough exterior but soft foam like polyethylene inserts. Mats needed for Gymnastics should be thicker, wider, and stronger compared to mats used for yoga.

• Next comes the size of the mat. Tumbling mats are available in varied sizes. In fact in many homes, for the safety of the kids, the large size tumbling mats covering the floor area are used which serve as an excellent play area for children. So the mat should be chosen as per the activity level and play area space. Tumbling mats sizes vary greatly from 4 x 6-8 feet, 5 x 6-12 feet, to 6 x 8-14 feet, and so on. If there is space constraint, you can opt for foldable mats.
