The Tumbl Trak Teddy Bear Mats are the lightest and softest mats in Tumbl Trak's range - a light-density foam topper mat available in two named sizes, used in gymnastics clubs, sensory rooms, occupational therapy spaces, and home play areas across North America. At just 1.3 lbs, the Teddy Bear Mat is one of the most genuinely portable gymnastics mats available: light enough to carry in one hand, soft enough to lay on directly, and flexible enough to drape over bars, railings, and beam rails for instant padding coverage.

The two sizes carry the names Tumbl Trak gave them: Baby Bear and Mama Bear. Both are 3 inches thick and share the same light-density soft foam construction. The Mama Bear's 4ft x 6ft footprint matches the Tumbl Trak Pit Pillow's dimensions, making it a natural companion product - the Velcro edges on all sides of the Teddy Bear Mat allow it to connect directly to the Pit Pillow, Air Floor with cover, and other compatible Tumbl Trak mats.

Three Ways Coaches and Families Use the Teddy Bear Mat

As a topper on stacked mats - placed on top of a Practice Mat, Soft Mat, or any other stacked mat surface, the Teddy Bear Mat adds a final soft landing layer that is gentler on the body than the mat beneath it; Tumbl Trak positions it as a softer alternative to traditional sting mats for coaches who find sting mats too abrasive for young or sensitive athletes

Draped over bars and railings - the mat's light weight and flexible construction allow it to drape over gymnastics bars, balance beams, beam rails, and playground railings, adding a padded surface layer wherever equipment contact needs cushioning; this is one of the more distinctive uses shown in the product images and absent from almost every competing mat

As a standalone soft surface for play and rest - light enough to lay directly on the floor for young children, sensory play, quiet time, and general soft play without needing additional matting underneath; the soft foam is appropriate for direct floor contact in home and sensory room settings

Key Features of the Tumbl Trak Teddy Bear Mats

• 1.3 lbs - Genuinely Portable - At 1.3 lbs the Teddy Bear Mat weighs less than most water bottles; it can be carried in one hand by a child or adult, repositioned instantly between stations, and stored anywhere without weight being a consideration; no other Tumbl Trak mat comes close to this weight
• Light-Density Soft Foam - Softer Than a Sting Mat - The light-density foam construction produces a noticeably softer and more forgiving surface than traditional sting mats while maintaining enough structural thickness (3 inches) to provide meaningful cushioning as a topper or standalone surface
• Two Named Sizes - Baby Bear (3ft x 4ft x 3in, TB-3644) at $460 CAD for compact station coverage and home use; Mama Bear (4ft x 6ft x 3in, TB-4872) at $740 CAD for broader mat coverage, aerial silk stations, and larger sensory spaces
• Drapes Over Bars, Railings & Equipment - The mat's flexibility and light weight allow it to drape naturally over horizontal bars, beam rails, gymnastics equipment uprights, and playground railings, adding a soft padding layer to any contact point without clips, ties, or attachment hardware
• Velcro Edges for Multi-Mat Connectivity - Velcro along all edges allows multiple Teddy Bear Mats to connect side-by-side or end-to-end for larger coverage, and allows the mat to attach directly to compatible Tumbl Trak products including the Pit Pillow and Air Floor with cover
• Heavy-Duty Webbing Handles - Webbing handles on the mat allow easy single-person carrying despite the mat's already negligible weight; practical for gym class settings where mats are moved frequently between stations
• Floor and Wall Use - Suitable for floor placement as a standalone play surface, stacked on top of other mats, or mounted against a wall section for padding; the Velcro edges support wall attachment to compatible loop Velcro surfaces
• Made in the USA - Made by Tumbl Trak in the USA to commercial gymnasium standards

Skills and Benefits

• Body Confidence Through Soft Landings - The softness of the Teddy Bear Mat's light-density foam makes landing, rolling, and falling more comfortable for children who are apprehensive about floor contact; repeated positive landing experiences build the body confidence and physical courage that carry forward into more advanced skill practice
• Tactile Sensitivity & Sensory Comfort - The soft foam surface provides a distinctly gentle tactile input that is particularly valuable in sensory environments for children who find firmer gym mat surfaces uncomfortable or overstimulating; the Teddy Bear Mat is genuinely one of the softest surfaces in the Tumbl Trak range
• Gross Motor Development & Active Play - Rolling, crawling, jumping onto, and resting on the mat develops gross motor coordination, spatial awareness, and body awareness in a safe, soft format that is welcoming for children of all abilities and developmental stages

Note: The Teddy Bear Mat is a topper and draping mat. For higher-level athletics or falls from significant height, use on top of a firm practice mat or crash mat for appropriate impact absorption. Always use under supervision.
