Description
The Horse Stall Mattress is the most comfortable footing you can give a horse in a stall. It's a cushioned mattress system, not a single flat mat — a soft core under a tough top cover. The cushioning takes pressure off legs and joints during the long hours a horse spends standing. For stalls where rest matters most, this is the top of the line.
The system works in two layers. A cushioned core gives the soft support. A sealed rubber top cover takes the wear, resists tearing, and keeps urine and moisture out of the core below. Together they stay comfortable for years, where a cheap foam pad would pack down flat in a season. The cover also protects the stall floor underneath, the same job a standard rubber mat does.
This is the right choice when a horse spends long hours on its feet or lying down — foaling stalls, rehab and recovery stalls, older horses, and performance horses resting between work. Standing that long puts steady load on legs and joints, and the cushioned core is built to absorb it. Penn State Extension points to joint-impact reduction as one of the biggest factors in how stall flooring performs over the long run.
For everyday working stalls where horses are turned out most of the day, a standard rubber mat is usually enough. The mattress earns its place when time in the stall is high. Within the stall mats for horses range, it's the comfort tier — above the standard rubber and drainage mats. Installed over a flat, prepared base and cleaned on a normal routine, it holds its support and its shape over years of use.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the mattress flatten out over time?
Answered by Dustin Thompson, Owner & CEO
Not if it's built right. The comfort comes from a real cushioned core, not soft foam that packs down in a season. The sealed top cover keeps moisture out of that core, which is what lets it hold its support for years. Put it over a flat, prepared base and clean it on a normal routine, and it keeps its shape. The fastest way to wear one out early is an uneven floor or trapped moisture underneath.
How is it installed and cleaned?
Answered by Dustin Thompson, Owner & CEO
It lays into the stall over a level, prepared base — the flatter the base, the better the mattress sits and lasts. Clean the top cover the way you'd clean any stall mat: sweep, rinse, and let it dry. Because the cover is sealed, liquid stays on top instead of soaking in, so it cleans up fast. Lift it now and then to clean and dry the floor underneath.
Which horses really need a stall mattress?
Answered by Jinna Hopson, Vice President of Marketing
Horses that spend a lot of time standing or lying down. Broodmares near foaling, horses on stall rest for rehab, older horses with sore joints, and performance horses resting hard between sessions all feel the difference. A softer surface means less strain on legs and joints and better rest. If your horses are out in the field most of the day, you don't need this — a standard mat is fine.
Should we put mattresses in every stall or just some?
Answered by Jinna Hopson, Vice President of Marketing
Just the ones that need them. Most barns put mattresses in their special stalls — foaling, rehab, and the stalls for their most valuable horses — and use standard rubber everywhere else. That puts the comfort where it counts without putting the premium spec where it isn't needed. If you're outfitting several premium or foaling stalls, using the same mattress across them keeps things simple. Send the stall sizes and we'll help you plan it.
