Materials
- Jump mattresses are made from the highest quality materials that provide both durability and comfort. The primary material used in the manufacture of skydiving mattresses is polyurethane foam, which has excellent cushioning properties, which minimizes the risk of injury during landing. It is also resistant to deformation, which guarantees long-term use without losing its cushioning properties. High-quality PVC film, with which the mattresses are covered, provides an additional layer of protection. The PVC film is resistant to tearing, abrasion and weathering, making the mattresses durable and suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. The PVC film cover is also easy to clean and maintain, ensuring hygienic conditions for use.
Design
- Jump mattresses are designed for maximum functionality and safety. The design of the mattresses uses the chamber method, which involves dividing the interior of the mattress into many smaller chambers filled with polyurethane foam. This design ensures even distribution of forces during landing, which increases the stability of the mattress and reduces the risk of point drag. In addition, side vents prevent "ballooning" during landing. The vents allow air to flow freely inside the mattress. It is also worth mentioning the underside of the mattress, which is equipped with an anti-slip layer that prevents the mattress from sliding on the surface of the ground. The anti-slip layer provides stability and safety, especially during intense training and competitions. In addition, the mattresses have sturdy handles, which are made of durable materials to ensure comfort and safety when moving the mattress.

2 Functionality and application

Application
Jump mattresses are widely used in various sports and educational contexts to suit the needs of users at different levels.
- Schools and educational institutions: The mattresses are often used in schools and other educational institutions to teach basic high jump techniques. Their sturdy construction and high level of cushioning ensure the safety of students, minimizing the risk of injury during exercise.
- Sports clubs and athletics academies: high jump mattresses are basic training equipment for both young adepts and advanced athletes. They allow intensive training, enabling athletes to refine their jumping techniques and improve their performance.
- Athletic competitions: professional jump mattresses are indispensable for athletic competitions at various levels, from local events to international championships. Their high quality and compliance with international standards guarantee the safety and comfort of athletes.
- Recreational centers: jumping mattresses are used for a variety of sports and recreational activities, providing participants with safe conditions for fun and training.
Functionality and safety
- The most important function of the skydiving mattresses is to provide adequate cushioning during landing. Thanks to the use of high-quality polyurethane foam, the mattresses effectively disperse the force of impact, minimizing the risk of injury. A non-slip layer on the underside of the mattress provides stability, preventing it from sliding on the surface of the ground. Side vents are a key element in the design of jump mattresses. They allow air to flow freely inside the mattress, preventing a balloon effect during landing. As a result, the mattress retains its cushioning properties and the landing is more comfortable and safe.
- In addition, the mattresses are equipped with sturdy handles that make them easy to transport and carry. These handles are made of durable materials that provide comfort and safety when moving the mattress. This is especially useful in situations where mattresses need to be moved frequently, such as when preparing for a competition. Easy to attach thanks to special handles, the quilts are additional accessories for jump mattresses that further enhance comfort and protection. Made of polyurethane foam and covered with PVC film, the quilts provide an extra layer of cushioning and protection. PVC-foil-covered jump mattresses are easy to clean and resistant to moisture and dirt, allowing for quick and effective cleaning. As a result, the mattresses maintain hygienic conditions of use for a long time.
Adaptability to different levels of use
Jump mattresses are available in different variants, which are adapted to the users' level of expertise:
- For beginners: Mattresses of lesser thickness, such as 40 cm or 45 cm, are ideal for beginning athletes and children. They provide sufficient cushioning and safety, allowing them to learn basic high jump techniques in a safe environment.
- For advanced athletes: Thicker mattresses, such as 50 cm or 70 cm, are designed for advanced athletes and professionals. They offer maximum cushioning and protection, which is essential during intense training and high-level competitions.
- Mattress pads, available in 300x200x5 cm or 400x300x5 cm, are versatile accessories that can be used with a variety of mattresses, providing an extra layer of protection and comfort.
3 Safety standards

Safety
Is a priority in the design and manufacture of jump mattresses. Each mattress must meet the highest safety standards to ensure the protection of athletes during training and competition.
- Cushioning and energy absorption: The polyurethane foam used in skydiving mattresses has excellent cushioning properties, allowing it to effectively dissipate the force of impact during landing. This ensures that the risk of injuries such as fractures, sprains and bruises is minimized.
- Anti-slip layer: the underside of the mattress is equipped with an anti-slip layer that prevents it from sliding on the ground. This is crucial for the stability of the mattress, especially during intense training and competition, where the dynamic movements of athletes can lead to uncontrolled shifting of the mattress.
- Side vents: Vents located on the sides of the mattress prevent the "balloon" effect, or the uncontrolled accumulation of air inside the mattress during landing. Thanks to the vents, the mattress retains its cushioning properties and provides a more stable and safe landing.
- PVC film cover: The PVC film that the mattresses are covered with is characterized by high resistance to tearing and abrasion. This protects the mattresses from mechanical damage, which prolongs their life and ensures safe use for a long time.
- In addition, mattresses are often certified by international sports organizations, which confirms their compliance with the highest quality and safety standards. Certificates issued by WA (World Athletics) confirm that mattresses meet international standards for sports equipment. Mattresses with this prestigious certificate are approved for use at official athletics competitions around the world. PZLA (Polish Athletics Association) certificates for this confirm that the mattresses comply with national quality and safety standards. These are especially important for sports clubs and schools that organize competitions at the national level.
