1. A New Cushioning Solution for Premium Golf Hitting Mats

Indoor golf simulators, golf training centers, and home golf practice systems require hitting mats that provide a comfortable and consistent practice experience.

Traditional artificial golf mats typically combine artificial turf with foam or rubber cushioning materials.

For manufacturers looking to develop premium products, integrating a Full Size Gel Cushioning Layer offers an additional way to improve cushioning performance and differentiate their golf mat designs.

At Jiangmen Kunbao New Materials Co., Ltd., we manufacture custom gel sheets for cushioning and impact absorption applications.

We work with artificial golf turf manufacturers, golf hitting mat factories, and golf simulator equipment brands to develop customized gel cushioning solutions.

Our full-size gel sheets can be integrated into existing artificial turf and foam structures, helping manufacturers create new premium golf mat products.


2. What Is a Full Size Gel Cushioning Layer?

A Full Size Gel Cushioning Layer is a soft, resilient gel sheet designed to cover the main cushioning area beneath an artificial golf turf surface.

Unlike localized gel inserts that are placed only in the hitting zone, a full-size gel layer provides cushioning across the entire gel-covered area.

The gel sheet is positioned between the artificial turf and the supporting foam base.

Recommended Three-Layer Structure

Layer 1: Artificial Turf Surface

The upper layer provides the grass-like playing surface and supports the interaction between the golf club and the mat.

Layer 2: Full Size Gel Cushioning Layer

The middle gel layer provides flexible cushioning and helps absorb impact forces during golf swings.

Layer 3: Foam Base

The bottom foam layer provides structural support and contributes to the overall stability of the hitting mat.

Structure: Artificial Turf → Full Size Gel Sheet → Foam Base

The gel layer remains completely hidden beneath the artificial turf during normal use.

This allows manufacturers to maintain the original turf appearance while adding an additional cushioning material.


3. Key Benefits of Full Size Gel Cushioning

Shock Absorption

During golf practice, the club may repeatedly contact the artificial turf surface.

A soft gel cushioning layer can deform under impact and recover afterward, helping absorb part of the impact energy.

This provides an additional cushioning function within the golf mat structure.

Joint-Friendly Cushioning

Repeated golf swings can produce noticeable impact forces, particularly when the club contacts the mat.

Integrating a flexible gel layer can help create a softer impact response compared with a rigid supporting structure.

The final cushioning performance depends on the gel hardness, thickness, turf construction, and foam base.

Realistic Turf Feel

Golf mat manufacturers aim to provide a playing surface that feels comfortable and consistent.

By adjusting the gel formulation, hardness, and thickness, manufacturers can develop different cushioning responses.

This gives golf mat designers more flexibility when developing products for different training environments.

Consistent Cushioning Across the Mat

Unlike a localized insert, a full-size gel layer provides continuous cushioning coverage beneath the selected turf area.

This can be useful for larger hitting mats and premium practice systems.

Premium Product Differentiation

Adding a gel cushioning layer allows manufacturers to introduce an additional material feature into their existing product lines.

This can support the development of premium golf hitting mats for customers seeking enhanced comfort.


4. How We Work with Artificial Golf Turf Manufacturers

Kunbao focuses on manufacturing the gel cushioning materials.

Our customers manufacture the artificial turf and complete the final golf mat assembly.

Step 1: Confirm the Golf Mat Design

The manufacturer provides the required gel dimensions, thickness, hardness, and intended cushioning performance.

We discuss the gel structure according to the golf mat design.

Step 2: Custom Gel Sample Development

Kunbao develops gel samples according to the manufacturer's requirements.

We can adjust the gel softness, thickness, color, and shape to match the proposed application.

Step 3: Integrate the Gel with Artificial Turf and Foam

The golf mat manufacturer places the gel sheet beneath the artificial turf and above the supporting foam layer.

Depending on the selected materials and production process, suitable lamination, bonding, or mechanical fixing methods can be evaluated.

Step 4: Evaluate the Finished Golf Mat

The manufacturer tests the complete golf mat for cushioning response, stability, durability, and club interaction.

If necessary, Kunbao can adjust the gel properties according to the manufacturer's feedback.

Step 5: Mass Production

Once the gel specifications and samples are confirmed, Kunbao arranges bulk production according to the agreed order quantity and delivery schedule.


5. Custom Full Size Gel Sheets for Golf Mat OEM Projects

Different golf mat manufacturers have different product requirements.

Kunbao supports customized gel material development for OEM and ODM projects.

Customization Options

Custom Size & Shape

Gel sheets can be manufactured according to the required golf mat dimensions and designs.

Custom Thickness

Thickness can be adjusted according to the cushioning requirements and available space within the mat structure.

Custom Hardness

We can develop different gel hardness levels to achieve the desired cushioning response.

Custom Color

Blue and other customized colors are available.

Custom Surface Materials

Optional fabric or film lamination can be evaluated according to the manufacturer's bonding and assembly requirements.

Custom Mold Development

We provide free mold development for qualified custom projects.

Our goal is to supply gel materials that can be integrated into the manufacturer's existing golf mat production process.


6. Applications of Full Size Gel Golf Mat Cushioning

Full-size gel cushioning layers can be considered for different golf practice products.

Indoor Golf Simulator Mats

Designed for indoor golf simulator environments where consistent cushioning and comfort are important.

Commercial Golf Training Mats

Suitable for manufacturers developing golf hitting mats for training centers and commercial practice facilities.

Premium Home Golf Mats

Full-size gel cushioning can be integrated into premium home golf practice products.

Custom Golf Practice Systems

Manufacturers can develop specialized golf mat structures using different turf, gel, and foam combinations.


7. Full Size Gel vs. Traditional Foam Cushioning

Traditional foam remains an important material for golf mat manufacturing.

Rather than replacing foam completely, Kunbao recommends considering a Gel + Foam Composite Structure.

Feature Traditional Foam Mat Full Size Gel + Foam Mat
Cushioning Materials Foam or rubber Gel combined with foam
Gel Coverage None Full cushioning area
Cushioning Response Depends on foam properties Adjustable through gel and foam selection
Structural Design Conventional Additional gel cushioning layer
Product Positioning Standard or premium Suitable for premium differentiation
Customization Foam material and thickness Gel hardness, thickness, shape and foam selection

Actual performance should be evaluated through finished-mat testing.
