Rubber Mats

Premier Equestrian’s rubber horse stall mats are made of the finest materials to deliver the best value for your dollar. The vulcanized rubber provides exceptional cushioning for your horse and doesn’t absorb moisture, preventing mold growth and bacteria from settling in. The products also enjoy a 15-year warranty, so you know they’re built to last.

Premier Equestrian’s horse stall mats measure just ¾ inches thick. This may not seem like much, but the thickness of this high-grade vulcanized rubber provides enough cushioning to create comfort for your horse. Other common thicknesses are ½ or ⅜ inches.

Rubber horse mats help improve your horses’ quality of life. They provide better insulation in cold weather, prevent dirt and manure from being tracked, and help prevent injuries by providing your horse with a comfortable place to stand. They also resist moisture that can cause bacteria or foul smells. Thankfully, rubber horse mats can last decades, so it’s an investment that protects your horse long-term.

Horse mats with vulcanized rubber are the best choice for your horses. Other mats made of materials like polyurethane can absorb moisture, causing odor, bacteria, and mold growth. This moisture absorption also leads to faster deterioration. Vulcanized rubber is moisture-resistant to prevent these issues while providing a soft and shock-resistant service for your horse that is easy to clean.

For a basic setup with bodyweight workouts, light dumbbells, or a stationary bike, a 3/8 inch rubber floor mat for home gym spaces usually does the job. If you lift heavier weights, train with barbells, or frequently move equipment around, we generally recommend using thicker, closer to 1/2-inch or traditional stall-style gym rubber mats. Thicker mats provide better impact absorption, increased comfort underfoot, and a more stable feel, especially on concrete. If you are unsure about what you need, consider the heaviest weight you use and how often it is in motion. Then, size up rather than down.

High-quality gym flooring rubber mats help absorb impact, reduce vibration, and protect against scuffs, chips, and surface damage. For most home setups with controlled lifting and the occasional missed rep, rubber floor mats for home gym use offer strong protection over concrete or wood. That said, extremely heavy drops from overhead, metal plates on edge, or repeated drops in the same spot can still be hard on any floor. If you train with very heavy Olympic-style lifts, combine rubber mats with a lifting platform or dedicated drop zone for added protection and noise control.

With normal home use and basic care, gym floor rubber mats can last many years. Stall-style mats are designed for hooves, moisture, and daily abuse in the barn, so they often have a very long service life in a home gym environment. Lifespan depends on how often you train, how heavy you lift, and how well the mats are installed and cleaned. Avoid harsh chemicals, cut cleanly around equipment, and check periodically for gaps or curled edges to ensure your flooring continues to perform its job.
