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
