Incline Folding Wedge Mat, 48 Inch Length

When a gymnast, cheerleader, or dancer wants to work on tumbling and jumping skills, our Incline Folding Wedge Mat is a popular selection. This mat has a 14-inch height on one end, angling downward to be flat with the floor on the other end.

This mat is not a toy, so students should use it with supervision of a coach, parent, or instructor. It is usable for workouts at a cheerleading or dance studio, at a gym, or at home. When used properly, the angle in the mat makes it easier to develop the desired skill.

Students can use the help of gravity to give them an extra boost for learning a new skill. Once they have the hang of the skill and the movement required, they can stop using the folding wedge mat and perform the skill on a flat floor surface.

Should the student suddenly start to struggle on the flat floor, instructors can bring out the angled cheese mat for a quick refresher course to give the student some confidence.

Foldable Gymnastic Mat for Quick Storage

This is a highly versatile mat. It provides a soft landing area, as it consists of a vinyl covering over a foam core.

Not only can athletes working on a variety of disciplines make use of this mat, but customers can fold the wedge shape into a box shape. This changes the mat’s potential use case into a landing area, a spotting table, or a launching panel.

All of the materials in use with these mats will be safe for children. The vinyl is lead free and offers 6P compliance for phthalates. It is a Made in the USA mat, meaning parents and studio owners can trust the quality of the materials and the manufacturing process.

Having a folding wedge mat makes it easier to store the mat between classes as well.

This version of the mat has a 24-by-48-inch surface area, allowing it to work nicely for all ages of students. For those who want a large folding wedge mat, multiple sizes are available, with the largest model offering a 72-by-144-inch surface area.

To create unique looking mats, the manufacturer offers more than a dozen different color choices. The customer can select one color to use in the surface vinyl of the incline cheese mat and another color to use on the side panels. Some studios may even want to order a custom color, over which they may be able to add a logo.

How to Use an Incline Mat

This type of incline mat is perfect for skill building at any age. Mommy and Me gymnastics or cheer classes can introduce tumbling skills to young students with this mat.

As students age and gain a higher level of skill in gymnastics, cheerleading, or dance, they can continue using this mat. Even elite athletes at the top of their sports will make use of our mat to gain new skills or to maintain their existing skills.

For gymnastics, for example, advanced skills like uphill vaulting, training on bars, handstand presses, and tumbling will be easier to learn when working on an incline mat. For beginners, this type of padded wedge delivers help with skills like front rolls, back rolls, backbends, bridges, and jumps.

With the proper instruction, the mats are fun to use in rec centers or physical education classes as well. By using these mats outside of the studio setting, instructors can introduce techniques to students who may be trying gymnastics or cheerleading skills for the first time.

Maintenance and Care

Gymnastics or cheerleading studios may want to clean the folding wedge mat after each session or class to ensure the most sanitary environment for students.

Customers can use a dry mop or a dust cloth to remove dust and smudges. For more stubborn soils, try wiping the area with a wet rag.

For those who need a little more cleaning power than water alone, try adding a little rubbing alcohol to the rag. Rubbing alcohol will remove oil from the skin of the athletes that transfers to the vinyl covering.

Do not saturate these mats, as they are not waterproof. Do not use them outside, as they do not have UV stability built into them.

Should the vinyl covering end up with a small tear, customers can use a vinyl patch repair kit to cover the tear, allowing them to continue using the cheese mat, gaining extra life out of the product. Each mat has a 1-year manufacturer’s warranty. Shipping
