Air Track Mats & Inflatable Gymnastics Mats

An air track is an inflatable tumbling mat used for gymnastics, cheerleading, martial arts and fitness training. Ours are made from double-wall (drop-stitch) PVC fabric, which keeps the mat flat and firm instead of rounding like a pool toy. You inflate it through a standard iSUP valve, set the pressure for the feel you want, then deflate and roll it up when you are done.

Match the length to the skills and the space you have. A 1m round air spot suits drills, landings and small rooms. A 3m or 4m track fits most living rooms and garages, with room for cartwheels, round-offs and walkovers. A 5m or 6m track gives space to link two or three skills, and the 7m and 8m tracks suit longer tumbling passes in a backyard, hall or club. Choose the 4m x 2m or 6m x 2m if you want twice the width. Measure your space first and leave clear room at both ends and on each side.

All our air tracks and air spots are 20cm thick. At lower pressure that depth gives a soft, cushioned landing for beginners. Pumped harder, the listings say it comes close to the feel of a spring floor, which suits advanced skills. One 20cm mat can grow with the gymnast.

The 1m round air spots come with a foot pump. The 3m to 8m tracks and the air barrel do not, so add a pump to your order. The Powertrain 500W electric air pump inflates and deflates, and comes with a hose, four nozzles and a standard Australian plug. The Kahuna hand pump has a pressure gauge in bar and PSI, so you can check and fine-tune the pressure.

Most of our air track listings recommend 1.5 to 2.2 PSI. A few list the range as 50 to 150 mbar, which is about 0.7 to 2.2 PSI. Start at the lower end for a softer mat and beginners, and add air for more bounce. A pump with a gauge makes it easy to set the same pressure every time.

Yes. Air tracks are portable, so you can use them indoors, in the backyard or at the park. Lay the mat on a flat area that is clear of sticks, stones and anything sharp, and keep it out of the sun when you are not using it. The air barrel listing says it can be used on grass, at the beach or even in water.

They do different jobs. A foam mat is firm and stays put, but it cannot change feel and is bulky to store. An air track gives a bounce you can adjust with the pressure, keeps its shape, and deflates and rolls up small, so it suits homes without a dedicated gym. Because you can change the pressure, one air track can suit both beginners and advanced skills.

An air track gives a softer landing than a hard floor, and our listings say the cushioning helps cut the strain of repeated training. It is still sports equipment: always supervise children, start new skills at low pressure, leave clear space around the mat, and learn harder skills such as back flips with a qualified coach.

An air barrel (gymnastics roller) helps gymnasts learn front and back flips, and builds strength, balance and coordination. Ours is 120cm long and 75cm across when inflated. It is also used for tumbling drills, vaulting, bar jump practice and yoga.

Let the air out through the valve, roll the mat up and store it somewhere dry, out of direct sun. Brush off dirt and grass before you roll it, and let it dry fully if it is damp. Use it on smooth surfaces away from sharp objects to avoid punctures.
