The 7 Best Fall Protection Mats For The Playground – Guidebook

You want more safety for your child when playing on the climbing frame or on the trampoline? Then fall protection mats are perfect. In the event of a fall, fall protection mats cushion the child’s fall. This can prevent serious injuries. Have a look at our checklist or our product recommendations. You are guaranteed to find a suitable mat for you and your child.

Checklist Fall Protection Mats

Indoor Or Outdoor Fall Protection Mats
  • Fall protection mats for outdoor use have to meet special requirements.
  • They should be UV and weather resistant, have a non-slip surface and also have drainage on the underside to ensure that water runs off safely.
  • A non-slip surface is also useful indoors, so that your child has a firm grip even when wearing socks and does not start to slip.
The Cushioning
  • Fall protection mats are designed to protect against serious injuries from falls. Whether for adults or children playing, make sure the mats have adequate strength.
  • Ideally, it will state the height of fall for which fall protection is guaranteed. This can vary significantly but should be at least 1.00 to 3.00 m if possible.
  • The thickness of the fall protection mats can be only a few millimeters, but also several centimeters. Especially for outdoor use and smaller children, we recommend fall protection mats with a thickness of at least about 3 cm, so that any falls can be sufficiently cushioned.
  • When buying, also make sure that the mats are TÜV tested or meet the requirements of EN 1176 or EN 1177.
The Material
  • Fall protection mats are made of foam-like plastics or rubber. Rubber is characterized by its high elasticity and durability, but is also somewhat more expensive to purchase.
  • The surface is usually textured, which makes it more sure-footed. Also make sure that the mats are non-slip. For outdoor use, the material should be water-permeable to prevent waterlogging.
  • For permanently installed mats, the material should also be frost resistant.
The Size
  • Fall protection mats are often plugged. This guarantees easy and stable laying.
  • The dimensions of the mats can vary from approx. 30 x 30 cm to approx. 60 x 60 cm. Play mats for the children’s room in particular are often significantly smaller than mats for outdoor use.
  • The larger the mats, the faster you can install them and cover larger areas.
