Mattress Systems for Horse Stalls
StableComfort™
This patented multi-celled mattress reproduces the characteristics of natural pasture, providing a comfortable surface for your horse to rest on.
Equivalent to at least 6 inches of bedding, this one piece system is placed wall to wall providing for a waterproof, durable flooring system.
What is it?
StableComfort™ is comprised of two components
Mattresses: A multi-celled tubes filled with uniform sized rubber crumbs. These rubber crumbs provide the mattress with a very high level of horse comfort and shock absorbency. Each mattress is 46” x 66”.
Top Cover: Made of an industrial-strength geotextile and impregnated with a vulcanized rubber compound, it is a nondraining, water proof top surface. The width of the top cover comes standard as 12’8” and can be any one-piece length. For stalls in which both dimensions exceeds 12’, seamed mattresses are available that are specially coated to ensure the seams are also water tight.
Cost Savings
StableComfort™ can save you $$
The one piece top cover makes stall cleaning a breeze. Due to the amount of comfort provided by the mattress system, shavings need only be used for absorption of urine. Muck-out time is greatly reduced and coupled with the savings in bedding costs, this product will actually pay for itself.
The StableComfort stall mat system is the equivalent to 6” of wood shavings which allows you to reduce bedding usage without sacrificing horse comfort. Use as little as 2 forkfuls of shavings per day and allow your horse to experience the comfort equal to a deeply bedded stall.
StableComfort's solution also reduces stall cleaning by at least 50%! Less bedding means less work and lower costs. The wall-to-wall installation of StableComfort stall flooring means dirty bedding stays on top where it can be easily removed. In many areas, disposing of your soiled bedding is very costly. This stall mat system can reduce your manure pile up to 65%, thereby putting more money in your pocket.
