Say hello to the Softy Skill Pillow – the must-have mat coaches and gymnasts are raving about! Crafted from a high-density foam, durable denim-like material, vinyl, and mesh for added breathability provides a soft landing when dismounting. Features handles for easy mobility, making it simple to move and position for different skills.

*NOW APPROVED for USA Gymnastics Competition as an alternative to the 4×6 skill cushion (see USAG rules and policies for specifics).

Softy Skill Pillow Dimensions

This  skill cushion measures 72 inches long by 48 inches wide, 8 inches thick and weighs 37 lbs.

Skill Pillow Characteristics

Meet the ‘must-have mat’ – its softness and versatility make it a great addition to your gym! Designed to be a luxurious cushioned surface, provides a gentle landing, significantly reducing the impact on the gymnast’s body upon landing.

Versatile Use

This versatile mat is designed to provide a cushioned landing zone for training and warm-ups. Approved by USA Gymnastics for use with the uneven bars. The Softy Skill mat can be slid in and out during a routine or warmup to provide protection during release elements.

It’s also approved for use during vaulting warm-ups. Enabling gymnasts to practice timers that involve flipping and landing on their back, promoting confidence while executing these complex skills.

Additionally, it serves as an excellent training tool! Place it on top of the foam pit to provide a sturdier landing surface, preventing gymnasts from falling completely through the pit.

High-Quality Materials

Experience the difference in landing with the Softy Skill Pillow, crafted from a combination of high-quality materials. The soft, denim-like fabric offers a gentle landing surface, while the vinyl underside makes it easy to slide around the gym. The mesh fabric allows air to escape during landings, enhancing breathability.

Additionally, the higher density foam provides superior cushioning that absorbs impact, reducing strain on the gymnast’s joints and muscles during landings.

  • “Denim-like” material – soft fabric for a gentle landing
  • Vinyl – makes sliding the mat around simple
  • Mesh – allows air to escape during impact

Portable

Equipped with two handles on each side, the Softy Skill Pillow mat is designed for easy positioning, allowing coaches and gymnasts to create the ideal training setup, effortlessly. Whether it’s used on its own as a training tool or on top of other landing mats, it offers a softer feel than traditional vinyl mats.

*Our Softy Skill pillow is NOT designed to be used alone on hard surfaces like wood or cement.

Durable

Crafted from premium denim-like material, vinyl, and mesh offering the perfect ‘pillow’ surface to land on. These materials are able to withstand the rigors of repeated landings and movement from apparatus to apparatus.
