Is the density of foam an accurate description of its quality?
It is essential to have the correct blend of density, hardness and impact absorbing properties as ours do for the correct deflection of the surface when standing, moving, throwing or falling on to the mat. When the surface deflects too much you can’t slide across the mat as easily, and when your are turning your toes can dig into the mat more, potentially causing twisting injuries to toes, ankles, knees, hips and up into the spine. Some of these are accumulative injuries that will cause more wear and tear on joints, ligaments and tendons, some will be more instant injuries.
