Pit Pillow

Our child has taken a number of aerial silk classes, and is now doing it at home. We were looking for a crash mat to place below the silk for safety. She suggested we look at Pit Pillow. She remembered them from when she was in gymnastics. We ended up getting the 4x6x8 model. Shipping was fast and it arrived in perfect condition. It’s a little pricy, but you don’t want to be cheap when it comes to a child’s safety. We are very happy with the purchase. The 8 inch thickness provides a nice amount of cushion. The outer layer also seems to be very durable. Also it isn’t overly heavy making it simple to move around. We feel much better with this product versus those thin gym floor tumbling mats.

We're using this mat for an unconventional purpose, but it's the perfect solution for our situation. Most Chinese Crested dogs love to jump-up and rest on the back of sofas and recliners, and ours are no exception. But they are older now (13 and 15) and the oldest actually has dementia and is not as stable on his legs as he used to be. It's virtually impossible to keep them off the furniture while still making it practical for humans. We bought these pads to place on the floor behind our swinging/rocking recliner chairs, which both dogs nearly fell off of, even when they were younger. This 3' x 4' mat is the perfect size to ensure neither of our 14-lb dogs sustain any injuries should they fall off the back of the recliners. These mats are an expensive option, but you can't put a price on preventing the serious injuries the dogs would sustain if they crashed down to the hardwood floors. If they survived, the vet bills would cost much more than the price of these mats. I'm 215 lbs. and I intentionally fell to my knees on this mat and it was like landing on a soft cloud! It didn't hurt in the least and I could tell it's a very safe and durable product.

Great crash mat!

The items matches the description exactly. The cover feels build to last, and the padding absorbs falls and landings very well.

Awesome product and excellent customer service!

This mat is great. It can help kids at all skill levels. A kid can fall on their back from a handstand without any fear. I know it will help my daughter learn much faster because she won't have to worry about hurting herself. I can't wait to teach my daughter everything from a back walkover to a backflip with this mat. I have been using the Tumbl Trak soft mat, but this one is much better. The soft mat cannot even compare because it still hurts a little if you fall on it. This mat is a great crash mat, but it's also firm enough to learn back bends from standing up or a handstand fall to a bridge. It really is the closest thing to having a pit at your house. I bought the 4x6 size.

We use this user our toddler's gymnastics bar. We wanted something thicker than your average gym mat. This mat is pricy but definitely worth it for us. It is high quality material and perfect amount of give and thickness to make us comfortable.

Pit pillow did not come with denim cover. I paid for it to come with a denim cover. I need this resolved with a next day delivery. Please! ASAP!

This is a great mat but we definitely did not get the size we ordered. We ordered the biggest one, it was supposed to be 6 feet and it's barely 5. We are going to keep it because it's a hassle to return but disappointed in that!
