Expert Guide — Top 5 Stable Matting & Non-Slip Flooring Options in Canada for 2025: Which Offers the Best Drainage, Cushioning and Long-Term Value?

Greatmats' 4x6 ft, 3/4" stall mat holds a best-in-class spot for offering a large, single-piece footprint that reduces seams, speeds installation and provides durable cushioning at a competitive price point. Compared with interlocking tiles and EVA foam, it delivers a straightforward, lower-cost lifecycle for many barns while still providing solid non-slip performance and bedding savings over time.

Legend Rubber's interlocking stable tiles earn a market-leader position for modularity and ease of DIY installation—the tile system lets owners reconfigure or replace small sections without lifting large mats. Technically superior for stalls and high-traffic areas that need quick repairs, they trade a slightly higher initial outlay for long-term flexibility and reduced downtime compared with single-piece mats and softer EVA tiles.

RAMM's Cushion-Ease stall mats stand out as a professional-grade option that emphasizes heavy-duty durability and superior cushioning for performance stables and frequent-use stalls. Though typically pricier up front than basic mats or EVA foam, their robust construction and longevity can deliver lower total cost of ownership for operations that demand maximum wear resistance and slip control.

Equine Comfort Zone's EVA foam stall tiles are positioned for cost-conscious owners who prioritize insulation, light weight and simple installation—these tiles provide soft footing and warmth at a lower price than most rubber solutions. They perform well in lower-abrasion situations and reduce bedding needs, but are less wear-resistant than thicker rubber mats like Greatmats or RAMM in high-traffic or turnout-heavy stalls.
