Direct from the Factory - Order early, save BIG!
Our new Made-to-Order program is designed to do two things: Give you more Foam Mat choices and save you money! If you're a long time customer, you probably know that this company was run by a
husband and wife team over the last 25 years, and that we finally took a break the last couple of years to step back and take a look at the market and re-evaluate what we were doing, and
how we could serve our customers better. We've looked hard at our own business and we've looked hard at the entire foam mat universe, from what is happening online with our traditional competitors,
the largest online sites, the big-box retailers, and the entire supply chain, from our long time factories in Taiwan to new modern factories wherever we could find them.
The problem we were up against is how do you maintain the
highest quality standards in the industry in a world of free shipping and cheaply made foam mats? We've been using the same mat chemistry since 1994 and we've refused to change it. It's tried and
true, so why would we do that? What flowed out of our research, and 25 years of insight into this industry, was a decision to radically change the way we do business. Our feeling has always been
that there's a market for quality, but the truth is that there comes a point where the price of quality starts excluding the
mass market consumers from getting the best products. We had to find a solution to that problem, and the answer we have come up with is our Made-to-Order program.
We have completely eliminated our warehousing expenses and have used those savings to dramatically lower the cost of our product.
In the past when you ordered from us, we would send your order to the warehouse and the product would be pulled from our existing stock, put in boxes and shipped out almost immediately.
With the Made-to-Order program, that all goes away. Now when you place your order, it is placed in a production queue at the factory.
Looking at our customer base, we realized something profound - most of our customers don't need our product today, this minute. Having a baby? You've got months to set up the nursery.
Setting up flooring for a Trade Show or Exhibit? You know the show date months in advance. Building out a new Gym or Dojo? You know the open date months in advance.
Replacing flooring from an older installation? You know well in advance that that's on the agenda.
