AAI has been a producer of innovative, high quality, high value mats for 50+ years. These mats are lightweight, easy-to-handle products with superior protection and performance. AAI was one of the first companies to use polyethylene foams, vinyl coated fabrics, and hook and loop fasteners. We later introduced cross-linked polyethylene foams that became the industry standard.

INSTRUCTOR™ SERIES (IM) FOLDING MATS- These mats are designed for teaching gymnastics, cheerleading, tumbling and other athletic skills to youngsters up through age twelve.  Mat softness combined with very good shock attenuation is particularly important as these youngsters learn new skills. The basic protective foams are closed cell polyethylene and polyurethane, used singly and in combinations.

FOAM- AAI uses foam and combinations of foams to increase performance, protection and value. Mats that may be less expensive, but need to be replaced often, do not represent good value for your money. This is why at AAI, we use only the highest quality materials and workmanship. Our product line features polyethylene foams used singly and in combinations to pro- duce superior results. Our mat interiors contain several kinds of cross-link and closed cell polyethylene and several densities of polyurethane foams. The longer our mats last in your pro- gram, the greater the value of your purchase.

VINYL- Their standard vinyl cover is an 18 oz. laminated fabric that has proven to be extremely durable. It is available in 16 colors and contains anti-microbial compounds. All AAI vinyl covers can be washed with soap and water for cleaning. Countless AAI mats have been in continuous use for 10 years – some for up to 30 years – and are still going strong.
