The 10 Best Gymnastics Wedges

The durable Tumbl Trak Cheese (appx. $569) comes in bright pastel and primary color options, as well as a jet black one that would be suitable for more serious settings. It is available in a range of sizes, all of which are constructed with a combination of PU and EVA foam.

The Giantex Incline (around $106) features dense, eco-friendly foam stuffing and a tear- and rip-resistant cover that can stand up to a lot of daily use, making it suitable for commercial settings. It comes in both folding and non-folding options.

The We Sell Mats Skill Shape (around $310) starts off very firm, but slowly softens up over time for a comfortable tumbling experience. Even after being broken in it is still nice and supportive when you stand on it, so you can rest easy you'll never bottom out during a hard landing.

As the name implies, the Franklin Sports Institutional-Grade (about $191) is extremely well made and suitable for commercial settings where a lot of people will practice on it every day. It feels very stable when folded in half and used as a launching platform.

The IncStores Incline Mat (around $105) has a total of four handles so that two people can work together when carrying it, though considering that even the largest model weighs only a touch over 40 pounds, most adults can easily reposition it themselves.

The Tumbl Trak Mini (about $139) can be used as a block, a wedge, or a ramp. It features a Velcro hook strap for attaching to other mats and tracks, and has a white line down the center that athletes can use as a visual guide while doing cartwheels.

The Matladin Eco-Friendly (around $130) would be equally at home in a CrossFit gym as an acrobat training facility. It is strategically reinforced at its stress points, has an 840-D vinyl cover that won't pick up odors, and is filled with an EPE foam that won't deform from constant use.

The Z-Athletic Incline (appx. $96) has an open-cell foam core with a one-inch top layer of cross-linked foam. This makes it supportive of your weight when standing on it, but soft enough to provide nice cushioning if you land on it after a hard tumble.

For safety reasons, it is very important to get a large enough unit for the user, but if being set up in a home, most people want to avoid buying something that takes up all of their floor space. That's why the GreatGymats Cheese (around $185) comes in five different sizes.

The Best Choice Products Tumbling (around $90) is a good model for camps and daycare facilities, but due to its limited color options, it isn't really suitable for an adult gym. It can conveniently combine with other mats and shapes to create unique practice tracks.
