Why Coaches Choose Resilite Classic Wrestling Mats

  • Double Sided for Longivity and Design

    Double-sided construction means two complete wrestling surfaces in one mat. Our exclusive #457 poly-vinyl coating protects all sides with zero exposed foam. Resilite Classic Mats last up to twice as long as standard mats—and can be reconditioned for extended use. That's a smarter investment for your program's budget.

Built by Resilite, The classic mats and its closed-cell rubber nitrile foam core delivers superior shock absorption, helping reduce the force transferred to an athlete on impact while maintaining consistent performance throughout the season.

  • Handmade in Pennsylvania

    Every Resilite Classic Mat is built by hand in the heart of Pennsylvania by a dedicated team of mat makers and painters. From cutting and assembling each section to hand-painting every logo and line, no two mats are treated as commodities. Every detail is crafted with intention, pride, and accountability ensuring the performance, durability, and finish athletes expect from the standard-bearer in wrestling mats.

  • Watermelon Drop Test

    We wanted to create a visual that shows why impact protection matters, because every takedown, scramble, and fall transfers force to an athlete’s body. Superior impact protection isn’t just a spec on a data sheet; it directly affects the athlete.

  • Absorption matters when an athlete’s head hits the mat.

    Better energy absorption foam means less force transferred to the athlete, helping reduce injury risk on impact. Impact protection isn’t negotiable when it comes to student-athletes.

Nothing Impact Test Better Than a Resilite Classic Mat

Resilite Classic Wrestling Mats are made from Absorption Foam. Flexi-Roll mats are made from a Rebounding Foam. 

So, what does that mean? Absorption foam absorbs the energy of the object while rebounding foam rebounds and multiplies the energy back into the object. In this video, you can see how the bowling ball responded to hitting a Classic Wrestling Mat (absorption foam) compared to a competitor's Flexi-Roll mat (rebound foam). There is no comparison when it comes to impact protection and athlete safety.

That's the Resilite Difference.
