About Resilite

Resilite has been manufacturing quality athletic mats since 1959, having grown from its start as a wrestling mat producer to its standing today as the leading manufacturer of protective mats and padding for wrestling, gymnastics, cheerleading, pre-school, tumbling, martial arts, and more. Our reputation for customer satisfaction and first-class workmanship has made Resilite the world's largest mat manufacturer.

Before 1950s

Prior to the 1950s, wrestling mats were frightful: they consisted of a smashed-down pile of horsehair, crammed into a canvas cover. Mats were hard to keep clean and mat burns were not only common but wrestlers also had the constant threat of infection.
