Beam Mat
A beam mat acts as a reliable base pad beneath a balance beam, improving grip and providing extra safety during use. Unlike thick tumble mats, this mat lies flat under the beam, helping maintain stability and preventing slips. Made from dense foam, it offers some cushioning while supporting a firm surface, so children can practise balance without compromising on control.
Because it’s designed to match the length of typical training beams, you can place it under the whole apparatus, and it holds firmly in place. As a result, it reduces the risk of minor falls or slips, particularly when beginners practise walking, mounting or dismounting. Moreover, the mat’s durable cover and reliable backing ensure it remains secure and long-lasting.
Perfect for School Gyms, Clubs, or Training Room
In practical use, coaches and teachers can fit the beam mat with minimal effort thanks to its secure attachment system. For example, some mats use hook-and-loop straps or Velcro that wrap around the beam, making installation quick and stable. Next, during PE sessions, children walk or perform simple exercises knowing there’s better footing under their beam. Also, if someone loses their balance, the mat’s cushioning softens the impact without being too springy, helping reduce the risk of injury.
Furthermore, because the mat is relatively thin but dense, it doesn’t raise the beam height significantly, preserving the training feel and challenge. After practise, the mat stays in place or can be removed easily for storage, depending on your space. Over time, this accessory supports safer, steadier beam work for learners and improves confidence underfoot.
