Tatami Mats UK

We supply a premium range of tatami mats for sale made from elite grade EVA foam known for its incredible density and high performance in MMA and Boxing as well as superior protection for kid's safe play.  Whether you're creating an MMA studio from scratch, upgrading your child's play area or simply looking for an Eva foam exercise mat for home workouts, our Eva foam floor solutions deliver the protection and versatility you need.

Versatility

These high protection puzzle mats can be used for specialist sports such as Martial Arts, Boxing and Gymnastics as well as fitness activities like Yoga, Pilates, Functional Training and Exercise equipment.  Eva Foam is also a material widely used in children's play areas because of its exceptional cushioning and protective qualities. Suitable for home gym fitness as well as commercial spaces, Eva foam is one of the most versatile choices for all-round fitness, specialist sports and leisure purposes such as play and gaming.  Eva foam mats work best indoors but can be transported outdoors in dry weather.

Thickness

They usually start in lower thicknesses for kids play mats (8mm to 13mm approx) and work up towards denser tiles for fitness and MMA such as 20mm and 40mm. Gymnastic mats will usually be around 40mm and above.

Colour Choice

Eva foam comes in a wide variety of bright or pastel colours such as bold green and yellow to create engaging play areas, or reversible dual options such as red/blue and black/grey for optional colour in your MMA studio. You can match your colours to suit your home decor, team colours or brand logo whatever the use or location.

Installation

One of the best things about our Eva foam mat options is that they are simple to install and easy to clean. The tile comes in a jigsaw shape profile which allows each mat to interlock together without the need for glue or special assistance with fitting. There is the option to loose-lay your tiles or adhere them to the subfloor after connecting them in the configuration you want. Many users like the option to move their tiles around and store them away when not in use while others prefer a more permanent set-up. Eva foam is anti-bacterial and easy to maintain and keep hygienic. The tiles are simply wiped down and will not absorb moisture which can cause mould and bacteria.

Main Uses

Eva Foam Tatami Matting for Martial Arts, Boxing & Gymnastics

Eva foam tiles are the go-to material for these type of disciplines because they have superior shock absorption and anti-fatigue capabilities. The closed-cell foam cushions and protects users from injury while performing high impact, high intensity moves. Furthermore, our Eva foam flooring also has a Tatami textured surface which prevents slipping and skidding while users train. Eva foam has the ideal level of traction needed for athletes to optimise their performance and master their technique.

Eva Foam for Fitness

An Eva foam mat is a great option for light to moderate fitness activities such as functional training, lighter strength training, Yoga and Pilates as well as supporting gym equipment although it is advisable to use a thicker Eva foam mat such as 20mm and above for this purpose. See our colour options for the perfect foam workout mat layout.

Eva Foam for Play Mats

Children love to jump, bounce and tumble while they play indoors. They also love to make a mess! Eva foam tiles are one of the best play mat options on the market for protecting kid's from injury, preventing damage to your floors, while being low maintenance and simple to manage and move around (if loose-laid). Eva foam play mats will prevent skidding, sliding, hard bumps and falls while being soft and comfortable for young kids to crawl and explore on. Likewise, Eva foam play mats (suitable for indoors and moderate outdoors use) can create zones for different play areas within a larger playroom, support storage furniture and toys and adds a splash of colour and interest that kid's will love. Play mats made from PVC, rubber and artificial grass are also worth considering, however foam is the easiest option in terms of installation.

Other uses for Eva Foam

Aside from fitness purposes in home gym set-ups and commercial studios or play mats, Eva Foam is also popular for other uses. Eva foam matting is often used in horse stalls to protect livestock from injury as well as within some industrial and commercial buildings for additional safety as they prevent fatigue in workers who have to stand for long periods of time. Similarly, an Eva foam mat solution can be installed outdoors for temporary events and exhibitions as they are easily and quickly assembled and removed when needed.

FAQ - Eva Foam Mats

What is the best foam mat thickness for MMA?

This is really down to the specific MMA discipline although a good rule of thumb is to opt for a 20mm or thicker option for any type of Martial Arts activities. These will offer the best protection from high impact.

What foam mat colours do you offer?

We have dual / reversible colours in both 20mm and 40mm which are red/blue and grey/black.  For brighter colours, browse our 26mm foam tiles which are available in Green, Red, Blue and Orange.

Can foam mats be glued down?

Yes our interlocking foam mats can be glued underneath for a more permanent floor setup.  Alternatively, they can be loose laid and moved around to suit.

Do you offer foam mats for sale which come in packs?

No our foam tiles are sold singularly.  There are many thinner, plainer options on the market which come in packs of 5 and 10.  Our mats are constructed from high grade Eva with a specialist Tatami surface in a size of 1m x 1m which is too large to be sold in packs.

How do tatami mats enhance my martial arts training?

Authentic tatami mats, originally used for floor covering in dojos and temples, are now widely used globally in martial arts training facilities due to their durable and impact-absorbent qualities. The unique straw texture of the tatami surface offers a level of grip which enhances footing, posture, and stability during training, making it an ideal choice for martial arts such as Judo, BJJ, Aikido, and Karate.

Are eva foam mats suitable for home gyms?

Absolutely. Eva foam mats are a popular choice for home gyms due to their durability, ease of installation, and ability to withstand heavy exercise equipment. They provide great cushioning for joints and can help reduce noise. With our interlocking design, you can easily customize the size and shape of your gym flooring to meet your specific needs.

Can tatami mats be cleaned, and how?

Yes, tatami mats can be cleaned. Use a mixture of mild soap and water to gently clean the surface of the mat. Avoid using any abrasive cleaners or scrub brushes, as this could damage the mat's surface. After cleaning, make sure to thoroughly dry the mat to prevent any moisture damage. It's recommended to clean your mat regularly to maintain its look and performance.
