I'm looking for a thread if it's already posted about the best mats for home that money can buy. I tried combing the forum using keyword search
"Mats"
"Best Mats"
"Best Mats for Rolling"
so either there already is a post about this and I didn't see it, or there isn't one and I'm making it.
Anyone know via reviews vs other mats what the best mats are money can buy?
Thank you for any suggestions and insight.
There is a thread with the Gracie mat method. I suppose it depends, in part, on how much coverage you need.
I've seen the Gracie mat method one, and it was great. But are there better mats than the Gracie mats? And my guys need enough coverage for a full live 100% roll so we don't get our skin planted against the garage concrete.Quote:

I don't have room for take downs anyway so it's perfect. When I'm done it just rolls up out of the way. Putting together and taking apart a puzzle mat is a pain. I think Zebra makes a similar product that I'm sure is good as well. I just found the best deal on Swain.
I have the same mats. I swear by them.Quote:

Not sure about the tri fold. They do have Velcro on the sides which is nice but they are a good bit more expensive.
They say zebra mats are the best
Idk prices but they use those in top level tournaments
Or just get a single wrestling mat
I was recently in the same situation(looking for mats). I looked everywhere and asked everyone. Then, I found a company on Ebay called Nimble Supplies out of Lansing, Michigan. They made the 4X8 folding type which I wanted because I need to move them after use. I called them because I needed Velcro on the sides. They said no problem, it would be considered "special order", cost an extra $40 and take one week to ship. I placed the order and waited one month and after sending an email then they were shipped. When they arrived, there was no Velcro(I was still charged the $40) and my emails were never responded to. Since they were "special order", it didn't go through Ebay so I was unable to leave negative feedback. Beware of Nimble Supplies my friend!
sweet! I only got the smooth bc I do zero stand up. If I ever did MMA I would prob kick like Royce :)Quote:

hope this is useful.
Another +1 on the flexi-roll mats. I have a Dollamur/swain tatami surface roll out mat. Heads and tails better than the trifolds.
i have zebra matts so its 10 x 10 feet and i just hot glued some velco on the long edge and and the short so i can have 10 x 10 or 5x 20 for rolling drills
