Folding cheer mats have to hold up to daily tumbling passes, stunt practice, and being dragged in and out of a storage closet by whoever is closest. The UCS Challenger 150 Series is built around a 21 oz. leather-grain embossed, knife-coated vinyl cover and a 1 3/8" polyethylene crosslink foam core, sewn with 207 high-tenacity thread. Order it with velcro on all four sides and multiple mats connect into a single continuous floor.
Key features and benefits
-
21 oz. knife-coated vinyl cover — leather-grain embossed surface resists scuffing and wipes clean after practice.
-
1 3/8" polyethylene crosslink foam — firm, resilient cushioning that holds its shape through repeated landings.
-
207 high-tenacity thread — seams stay closed under the stress of dragging, folding, and daily handling.
-
Velcro on 2 or 4 sides — four-side option joins mats end to end and side to side for a full training floor.
-
2' accordion panels — folds flat and narrow so one person can carry and stack it against a wall.
-
Solid or two-color construction — two-color layouts help you zone a floor by group, skill level, or class.

Who it's for
Athletic directors, cheer coaches, and PE departments use the Challenger 150 as a general-purpose training surface that a student assistant can set up and put away without help. The four-side velcro configuration is the one most schools and gyms order, since it lets a program grow its floor by adding mats rather than replacing them.
Recreation departments, home gyms, and club programs get the same cover and foam in a size that fits the room — a single 4' x 8' for a basement or garage, up to a 6' x 12' for a dedicated tumbling strip.
What's included
- One UCS Challenger 150 Series folding mat in the size and velcro configuration selected
- 2" velcro fasteners, factory sewn (2 or 4 sides per configuration)
Sold individually. Order multiple mats to build a connected floor.
