BalanceFrom 10x4 Feet 4-Panel Folding Gymnastics Mat – 2-Inch Thick Pad with Vinyl Surface and Carrying Handles for Tumbling, Yoga, Pilates, Home Workouts, and Martial Arts

I purchased this BalanceFrom 10x4 feet 4-panel folding gymnastics mat to go under my daughter’s gymnastics bar, and it has been an absolute necessity for her home practice. It provides that extra layer of cushion and safety that gives me peace of mind while she works on her skills. Why it’s a great addition to your home gym: Excellent Cushioning: The 2-inch thickness is perfect for absorbing impact, which is exactly what you want when your child is practicing dismounts or working on new routines at home. Durable & Easy to Clean: The vinyl surface is high-quality and very easy to wipe down, which is a huge plus after a long practice session. Convenient Storage: I love that it’s a 4-panel folding design; it makes it incredibly easy to fold up and store away when she’s not practicing, keeping our space tidy. Perfect Size: The 10x4 dimensions offer a generous landing area, providing enough coverage to safely surround the practice bar. If your daughter is practicing gymnastics at home, this mat is an essential investment for her safety and progress. Highly recommended!

Durable, Cushioned, and Perfect for Home Fitness The BalanceFrom folding gymnastics mat has been one of the most versatile additions to my home workout setup. At 4' x 10' with a full 2" of high-density foam, it provides the right balance of cushioning and firmness. It absorbs impact well during tumbling, martial arts, or kettlebell workouts, yet stays supportive enough for yoga, stretching, or Pilates. The foldable 4-panel design makes it practical to store away when not in use, and the built-in handles are sturdy enough to carry it without fuss. I also appreciate the Velcro strips along the edges, which allow you to connect multiple mats—great if you want to expand your training area. The vinyl surface wipes clean quickly with a damp cloth, and after months of use, mine still looks new without any rips or sagging spots. This mat is not lightweight (about 15 pounds), but that’s also what makes it feel solid and secure on the floor. It doesn’t slide around even during more dynamic movements. Some users mention a slight odor when new, but mine aired out within a day. Bottom line: A well-made, affordable training mat that works equally well for kids’ gymnastics, adult fitness routines, or martial arts practice. Comfortable, durable, and easy to store—definitely worth it.

When everything shut down for Covid, I was glad that we had equipment at home to continue our workouts. The shutdown did force me to acknowledge the weak areas in our home gym. While we had weights and cardio covered, we didn't have a good surface that was conducive to stretching and practicing BJJ techniques when we couldn't go to class. I set out to find a solution that would produce an acceptable surface on a concrete basement floor. I looked at many alternatives and had settled on a huge supplier of MMA mats. The one I honed in on would roll up out of the way when not in use. I started looking for the least expensive place to purchase the mats and landed at Amazon. What I found is that those mats are significantly more expensive for less coverage and that they never go on sale. Since I was shopping Amazon at this point I looked for alternatives and found these. After reading the reviews I ended up ordering 3 mats, which gave us a 10x12 area for about $250 less that what I had been shopping for. These mats seem very sturdy and easily fold out of the way. The velcro appears to be strong enough to hold the mats tightly together while we roll around on them and I don't think we will take them apart often enough to have this wear out. The padding is also thick enough so we do not have any issues using these directly on an epoxy coated concrete floor. The vinyl seems thick enough to be good for the long haul as well. In the end, we will use these several times a week for a little practice but the commercial mats that are more expensive were probably overkill. These mats came with a 2 year warranty so while I don't anticipate any issues with them, I will probably just replace them if something happens to them down the road. These are probably the best value out there in folding gym mats and they are working great for why we bought them so far.

When I first saw the boxes arrive to my home I was pleasantly shocked. They were definitely big as one would hope for them to be. I say this because I was paranoid as to what 4 X 10 would look like in person. I opened the box with a box cutter, let me add that I strongly advise you to open these with the utmost caution, given that the mat material is only covered by a thin plastic bag. If you use a box cutter, as I have, please only use the most minimal incision depth to avoid punctures to mat material. Upon removing the mats, the first thing I noticed was the Vinyl Material. It was very much solid in that it wasn't baggy on the mat like other folding mats I have seen before. The material was firmly fitted with minor slack in certain areas, which is normal with any vinyl mat cover. The vinyl was very supple and not abrasive like other mats I have seen. The mat has on each end a strip of Velcro, to attach other mats to it. They also have a convenient handle once folded for easy carry. Best part is they come with a 2 year warranty. I unfolded and laid down the mat on the floor and was shook by how much space they took up, even my brother commented on his concern if we were gonna have enough space for them. I took out the other mats and started to connect them. Connecting the mats isn't too difficult. There is kind of a learning curve connecting them. My suggestion is to have the mat you are connecting overlap the mat thats on the floor and then gently slide the mat in to place on the velcro flap. I bought 3 Mats which is definitely enough if you want to spar comfortably 1 on 1. I'd say get 4 Mats if you wanna spar 1v1 in an MMA fashion. 3 Mats is enough for 4 people if technique is the only thing being practiced and drilled. Anyway, once we connected them, I spent no time waiting to test them out. Test 1: My biggest concern in getting these mats was that the foam wasn't going to be dense enough to provide comfort during my rolls. Boy was I wrong. These guys are very firm. Not so much that it feels like I am walking on solid bare ground but enough that I can tell what I was walking on is cushioned. My feet did not sink in much, if at all, when I stood on them. I did a few break falls and did not feel any sort of discomfort. I would not suggest slamming someone on these mats but I would feel comfortable having a take down done on me with these mats. Test 2: My next biggest concern was that the Velcro would not hold when doing shrimping movements or pushing off my back foot for a double leg. The mats held up just fine with no issue. No moving around on the bare floor or separation. Should that be the case at any point, I can always add strips of Velcro to the end "faces" of the mats but so far I don't think I will need too. Test 3: Drilling. I'll be honest, I have yet to do a full out sparring session on these because the reason I bought them was to do the Gracie University curriculum with my brother. He is not in anyway experienced in Grappling, so we only did technique drilling. These mats were as comfortable as can be. I forgot I was even drilling in my garage. The material is perfect for Jiu jitsu. I can't fathom getting mat burn from the material. My back felt comfortable in guard and even when my brother was working his mount attacks on me. For cleaning, I suggest not over saturating the mats with your cleaning solution. So put the mop bucket away. The best way I have found to clean them is to use a spray bottle (I use a bleach and water solution) and dry mop pad. Spray and push the mop pad down the mat till solution is spread and thinned out. Allow to air dry and put the mats up (or leave them down, whatever, they're your mats) Overall I will give them the following ratings: Material: 8/10: They by no means feel cheap but nor does it feel super expensive either. It is adequate and then some. The vinyl is very comfortable and solid. The mat foam is very firm and absorbs impact like a champ (well as well as a 2 inch thick mat could). It is all you need and then some. In the future I will buy a vinyl tarp to put over it to increase the mat life. Build quality: 8/10: While some customers have reported issues with the seams coming upon receiving them, they are in the minority of the reviews and I have yet to see much quality issues besides the occasional thread sticking out. They don't appear to be loose but maybe just end pieces that didn't get cut. You really have to look for it, it is by no means noticeable or bothersome or even concerning. The 2 year warranty helps me sleep at night too. The handles seem adequate and the Velcro doesn't seem flimsy at all. Set up: 9/10 I am not a fan of Velcro in the first place but to be fair this is just how folding mats lock, still way more convenient and comfortable than puzzle mat, set up isn't all that fun but they get the job done. While I prefer the ease in the Velcro setup that Gracie Garage mats used to have (Velcro on the flat ends of the mat), these seem to be more secure. Like I said, it is a learning curve but only a small one to align them just right. Taking the mats off and folding them is not too much of a hassle. Just pull the mat from the Velcro strip. I advise you to step or push on the fuzzy Velcro flap while you pull the other mat off to prevent any damage to the flaps. The mats fold up easily and the handle really helps transport them. Price: 10/10 You seriously can't beat this quality and $ per sq ft anywhere else. Overall Score: 9/10: Best 235 bucks I have spent. Do yourself a favor and get them!

Really superior product! Over size and great padding. Perfect for exercises on your back and doing pushups. Better than I expected. Folds up nice and has two carry handles.

The quality of the mat for its primary purpose is 5 stars. It is just firm enough to ensure you can easily run and jump on it without losing control in the squish. It’s also just soft enough to cushion a fall. The size is great for our needs. I can fold it once or twice and put it under our wall ladder for the littles when they practice climbing the ladder. I can unroll it in my mini gym area just outside of the toddler bedrooms and do a morning kettle bell workout without a loud landing on the last set when I am tired and still have to set the bell down. I love that. The only reason I rated it 4 stars is because of the smell. It’s not your average synthetic material smell. It smelled remarkably like a used ash tray, so much so that I checked for signs that I had been mistakenly sent a used product. I don’t think I was. I’m hoping opening it and airing it out will help. That would be much preferred to us simply getting used to it and not knowing that our house smells like an ash tray when people visit. I might have to ask people when they come, because that would be a deal breaker for me. Fingers crossed! I’m optimistic it will go away. I’ll update the review, if I think of it later.

Great mat! We purchased one and a soon as we received it, we turned around a purchased another. It's perfect for practicing jiu-jitsu or tumbling at home. It's made of quality material. It's thick and supportive and doesn't give when you're on it, but it's soft and will protect your body from the hard floor. I think it will last for a long while.

My daughter is 10 and I wanted to get a mat for her to perform her gymnastics moves. Something good for her height and size. I spent a long time looking at all the sizes provided by multiple companies and reading reviews. This one was by far the best. For a kid her age, 10 feet long and 4 feet wide is perfect. It is long enough for her to do her moves but not too narrow either like 3-foot-wide mats. Being 2 inches thick is perfect as well because it provides just the right amount of cushion. Plus, it has handles once folded up to be carried away. Best bang for your buck. Very durable. Not too heavy to make you struggle but not too light making worry if it won't stay in one place. When my daughter gets older and bigger, I would get a longer mat but this is perfect for a kid between 7 and 12 who is in the 4-to-5-foot range. If your kid is 5'6" and above, I would get a longer mat but make sure it is still at least 4 feet wide.
