Gymnastics & Soft Play Equipment

Soft Play Equipment for Early Skill Building

Soft play gym equipment helps schools, children's hospitals, therapy centers and rehab facilities build safer movement progressions for early learners. Designed for beginner skill development, it supports balance and coordination through controlled climbing, crawling and movement exploration, with stable foam support and durable surfaces that hold up in high-use spaces.

Materials, Shapes & Construction Features

Built for daily use in schools, therapy centers and clinical environments, UCS mats, pads and special shapes use resilient polyurethane and polyurethane foam fillings with a leather-grain finish. Mats include a permanent anti-bacterial inhibitor to help prevent the spread of germs, and all seams and hems are double-folded and double-stitched for long-term durability.

• Resilient PU Foam Construction: Polyurethane and polyurethane foam fillings built for stable support during movement exploration
• Leather-Grain Finish: Professional look and easy-clean surface suited for high-traffic programs
• Permanent Anti-Bacterial Inhibitor: Integrated into mats to help prevent the spread of germs
• Reinforced Stitching: Double-folded, double-stitched seams and hems designed for long-term use

Options for Schools, Gyms & Therapy Programs

UCS can help you design a safe movement environment for therapy centers, gyms and schools. For decades, UCS has helped create modular play systems to support structured pathways for indoor soft play activities, UCS product solutions provide instructors with versatile options for spaces, fostering for beginner skill development, balance and coordination and sensory needs across different settings.

• Schools and Early Childhood Programs: Modular play systems like the Exploration Unit create crawl, climb and step progressions that support beginner skill development with repeatable routes for balance and coordination.
• Gym Facilities: Individual soft foam shapes like the Rainbow Barrel support rolling, climbing and controlled transitions, while pieces such as the Rocker Mushroom add targeted balance and coordination work.
• Therapy Centers: Sensory play equipment like Rounders™ Foam Pit supports proprioceptive input, body awareness and safe landings, while Rainbow Split Donuts can add gentle vestibular input through rolling and controlled movement exploration with soft contact points.

Choosing the Right Soft Play Equipment for Your Facility

Choosing soft play gym equipment comes down to three things: how the space will be used, how often it will be cleaned and how the layout controls traffic. Start with the footprint and supervision plan, then build from the floor up with soft play mats, add feature pieces for climbing and movement exploration and finish with protection where contact is most likely.

• Start With The Base Layer: Use soft play mats to define lanes, landing zones and transition areas for safer balance and coordination work.
• Build The Pathway: Add modular play systems and stacking and modular pieces for structured routes, then mix in individual shapes, then mix in individual shapes for targeted beginner skill development and educational play equipment goals.
• Plan For Cleaning And Wear: Prioritize vinyl durability with reinforced seams for facilities that sanitize daily and run continuous sessions.
• Protect The Perimeter: Add wall protection and protective padding in high-traffic zones near entry points, corners and feature pieces.
• Expand With Program Needs: Round out the room with modular soft play, therapy mats and adaptive equipment, plus gym mats, stunt & skill mats and protective padding for facility-wide coverage.
