wrestling mats

Foam floor covering

Wrestling mats are thick, cushioned floor coverings used in wrestling to prevent injuries during takedowns, throws, and groundwork.

They're typically made of foam covered in vinyl, with a circular competition area marked on the surface.

The mats absorb impact and provide traction for barefoot wrestlers: The team rolled out the wrestling mats before practice.
