How SmartCells Mats are different than traditional foam mats

 

“We really enjoy the product. It is easy to roll wheel chairs on them, making transfers easier. The aids and rehab staff really like them. Because they are more stable, they don't slide away when a fall occurs; we have more non-injuries.”
-Sara Eastburn, Executive
Director

“We love them! We have had no injuries at all on any of the mats. They are absolutely wonderful.”
-Janette Buchanan, Director of Nursing

A New Generation of Cushioned Flooring

SmartCells Fall Protection Products:

All products feature the SmartCells “dual-stiffness” technology, that remains highly responsive and stable for standing, walking, wheeling, transferring, etc., and will not cause loss of balance, but also provides cushioning as its cellular structures collapse when compressed.
