1m x 2m Pu Sponge Judo Tatami Mat

Judo mats are made from PU foam materials designed to provide the ideal balance between cushioning and stability. They absorb the force of impact when an athlete hits the mat, while still offering a firm base for quick footwork and controlled movement. The specific material composition often varies with the mat's thickness. For maximum shock absorption, mats with a polyurethane (PU) foam core are highly recommended. Among these, one popular option is the Martial Arts Crash Mat (4×8 ft × 4 in), which delivers exceptional comfort and protection with its 4-inch-thick PU foam interior.

Choosing the right Judo mat depends on your training level, purpose, and desired comfort.

Here are our professional recommendations based on density and use:

(1) For Professional Competitions

Recommended Density: 230 kg/m³ or 270 kg/m³

Core Material: High-compression sponge

These mats offer the highest level of firmness, stability, and impact resistance - ideal for official tournaments and elite athletes.

(2) For Regular Training or Local Competitions

Recommended Density: 190 kg/m³ or 230 kg/m³

Core Material: Compressed sponge

This option provides a perfect balance of comfort and durability, making it suitable for daily professional training or regional events.

(3) For Schools and Kids' Practice

Recommended Density: 160 kg/m³ (compressed sponge + PE foam) or 48 kg/m³ (PE foam only)

Softer and lighter for beginner safety, especially ideal for children's use or school dojos.

(4) Why Density Matters?

Mat weight = density x volume, allowing precise control within ±1.5 kg tolerance.

This ensures consistent performance and easy pairing during installation.
