Nissen® EnviroSafeTM mat and wall padding fabrics are tough!

Super tear-resistant, PVC-coated, phthalate-free shells with high UV,
flame resistance and anti-bacterial formulations.

Our PVC-coated fabrics can take the most rugged indoor and outdoor wear. All indoor gym mats and wall pad coverings meet fire codes – including NFPA 701, CA Fire Marshall and UL. Many other vendors use 14 oz. and 18 oz. laminated fabrics, which tend to peel after extended use. Nissen fabrics are coated into one homogeneous layer of PVC and polyester – in either our 18 oz./sq. yd. deluxe or 22 oz./sq. yd. super deluxe weights. Plus, we offer many colors to match every need.

New Foam Thicknesses

Two examples of our new foams

2" Soft IFD-100 Foam

This NEW 1 or 2 lb. density urethane-type foam is used for beginning gymnasts, light tumbling or as an exercise mat, as well as thicker versions for landing mats.

1.5" Extra-Firm

This 1.7 lb. density polyethylene-type foam offers firm, lightweight shock-absorption for the top recoil. Often used for high-impact activities like advanced gymnastics and martial arts. Our 1.5" thickness is excellent for heavier participants who tend to bottom-out.

2" Medium-Firm

This 4.2 lb. density bonded-type foam provides durability and safety for medium-impact gymnastics, exercise and wall padding. Good for semi-firm landings and stability, yet not as firm as our poly-type foams.

2.5" Extra-Firm/Soft Combo

This extra-firm foam is laminated to soft foam to provide a firm landing surface with a soft-cushion underneath to prevent bottoming out. Ideal for beginners of all ages learning to tumble. CoverSports USA offers layered foams in several thicknesses and layer combinations.

Foam & Fabric Dictionary

DENSITY

Lbs. per cubic foot. (Example: 1.7 lb. density foam means 1 cubic foot weighs 1.7 lbs.)

IFD

INDENTION FORCE DEFLECTION is a measurement of foam firmness and is independent of foam density. IFD is measured by indenting (compressing) a foam sample to 25% of its original height. The amount of force in lbs. required is its ILD measurement. The more force required, the firmer the foam. Open-cell foam IFDs usually range from 10 IFD (super soft) to 100 IFD (very firm).

PHTHALATES

Chemical plasticizers used to soften plastics are continuously released from the products to which they are added. (Not environmentally friendly.)
