Sizes Both the diameter and the thicknesses of the mats can vary depending on the crash mat brand. On average, most mats are at least 4′ in diameter and range up to 5′ in diameter. The larger the diameter the better. Generally speaking, shorter diameters are best for shorter people and longer diameters are best for taller people. It is always best to buy a mat with the largest diameter you can afford because it more cushion when you fall. You can never predict how far you might fall away from the pole. Thickness of mats vary between 2″ and 6″ on average. The thicker the mat the better. 2″ mats are typically considered suitable for home use however, if you plan to use the crash mat for commercial purposes where dancers in your studio are insured, then you in most cases, you will be required to get a mat 4″ thick or thicker to satisfy the insurance company.
