Stable Comfort™ is a 2-piece system. The first component is a multi-celled mattress filled with uniformly sized rubber crumb. This rubber crumb provides the mattress with its high level of comfort and its shock absorbency. The second component is the one piece top covering. The top cover is made from an industrial strength geotextile and impregnated with a vulcanized rubber compound, that not only adds to the durability, but also makes it a non-draining, non-absorbent system. The top cover is fastened to the stall walls ensuring that it stays in place and that no bedding or waste gets underneath the system.

Is It True That Stable Comfort™ Is "Non-Slip"?
While it is impossible to guarantee that there would never be a situation where a horse could slip-- we can safely answer "Yes". Stable Comfort™ provides a non-slip surface, enabling ease of lying down and rising. In fact many veterinary facilities are taking advantage of this benefit in their post-anaesthetic stalls. Stable Comfort™ is equivalent to a minimum of four inches of bedding. Research from the Equine Research Centre in Guelph, Ontario has found that using a fraction of the bedding with the Stable Comfort™ system supports stable air quality without sacrificing horse comfort. Less bedding means less dust!

Can Stable Comfort™ Help My Horse With Joint, Hock, Tenderness-- Or Bedsores?
Thanks to StableComfort's non-slip properties and horse friendly surface, hock sores are dramatically reduced and even completely eliminated and this is often the case with bed sores. The supportive yet forgiving characteristics of StableComfort™ have produced proven results in animals with joint problems. Proven results are seen from older, arthritic, lame and injured horses. Excellent environment for foaling. StableComfort™ provides superior insulation for early foals born in cold climates. Great footing for the active and energetic newborn.

What exactly is the StableComfort stall mattress system?

StableComfort is a patented multi-celled stall mattress and flooring system engineered to give horses the equivalent cushioning of 6 to 8 inches of shavings while using only about two forkfuls of bedding a day. Rather than loose mats that shift and trap urine at the seams, it lays in as an ergonomic multi-layer mattress sealed beneath a single one-piece top cover. The result is a supportive, hygienic, low-maintenance floor that has been used in working barns, rehab clinics, and Olympic stables since 1999.

Who manufactures StableComfort?

StableComfort is made by Promat® Inc. of Woodstock, Ontario, Canada — the inventor and manufacturer best known in the dairy industry for setting the standard in cow-comfort with products like the Pasture Mat. The cow-comfort research and engineering Promat® developed over more than 20 years was carried directly into the equine world, and StableComfort launched in 1999 as the horse-specific evolution of that expertise. You order direct from the maker rather than through a chain of resellers.

What materials and layers go into the mattress?

The system is built from premium virgin rubber solids on the outside, with the mattress itself filled with 100% recycled rubber crumb for resilient, joint-friendly support. The multi-celled construction distributes a horse's weight and acts as a thermal barrier that takes the chill off concrete or stone-dust floors. A sealed one-piece cover keeps moisture and waste from infiltrating the fill, so the bed underneath stays dry and can be disinfected rather than torn up and replaced.

How does it cut bedding and cleaning time in the barn?

Because the mattress provides the cushion, you no longer pack a stall deep with shavings — owners report bedding use dropping by up to 75%, in some cases down to a single bag for a 10' x 12' stall. The waterproof sealed cover means liquids run off instead of soaking in, so mucking a stall falls to roughly 2 to 3 minutes and overall cleaning time drops by 50% or more. StableComfort also reports the system reduces airborne dust by up to 37% and lowers ammonia levels, which supports equine respiratory health.

Which horses and barns benefit most?

The system shines for horses prone to stocking up, hock sores, arthritis, or laminitis — the thermal cushioning encourages more frequent lying down and REM sleep, eases stiff joints, and gives reliable non-slip footing even when wet. Therapeutic riding centers, performance and reining barns, equine hospitals, and individual owners all use it; one owner reports five stalls running 18 years with no leg issues, and Olympic show jumper McLain Ward says his mare Sapphire "Loves her StableComfort Stall Mattress." It suits everything from a single backyard stall to a full competition or rehab facility.

Who makes Stable Comfort?

Stable Comfort™ is built by Promat Inc., the inventor and manufacturer of Pasture Mat®, Pack Mat™, and Poly Pillow™ — products that set the gold standard in the dairy industry through cow-comfort research and education. After more than a decade of development, Promat used that expertise to create Stable Comfort™ for the equine industry.

How is the Stable Comfort system built?

Stable Comfort is a two-piece system. The first piece is a multi-celled mattress filled with uniformly sized rubber crumb — that's where the comfort and shock absorbency come from. The second piece is a one-piece industrial-strength geotextile top cover impregnated with a vulcanized rubber compound, which adds durability and makes the system non-draining and non-absorbent. The top cover fastens to the stall walls so it stays in place and prevents bedding or waste from getting underneath.

What benefits does Stable Comfort offer my horse?

Per Stable Comfort, the resilient turf-mimicking surface encourages horses to lie down more often and rest longer. While standing, the system provides a supportive, even surface that may discourage lameness and reduce leg fatigue and tissue-fluid accumulation (per equine performance industry reports). While lying down, it shortens injury rehabilitation timelines and helps loosen stiff joints. The system also insulates from the cold and creates a moisture barrier against the dampness of concrete floors. Hock sores and bed sores are dramatically reduced and often eliminated.

What products are in the Stable Comfort line?

Four main products. Stable Comfort™ — the wall-to-wall waterproof base stall mat system. Stable Comfort™ Premium — adds an engineered high-density memory foam layer that retains its shape and supports blood flow. Stable Comfort Rolled Alley Flooring — for trailer floors, grooming areas, tack rooms, and barn aisleways, with anti-slip textured top and micro-rib bottom for moisture and air movement. Stable Comfort Keystone Rubber Pavers — a 4-way interlock rubber paver in keystone-cobble pattern made from 100% recycled tires, with anti-slip surface and all-weather durability. StableWALL rounds out the system — pre-engineered foam panels covered with Stable Comfort top cover for stall walls.

What does Stable Comfort cost?

Per the source: Stable Comfort™ starts at $600 USD for a 10' × 10' stall. Stable Comfort™ Premium starts at $785 USD for a 10' × 10' stall.

Dealers throughout the U.S. and Canada handle local sales and delivery.

Is Stable Comfort really non-slip and how does it compare to bedding?

Per Stable Comfort, the system provides a non-slip surface that helps horses lie down and rise more easily — many veterinary facilities use it in post-anaesthetic stalls for that reason. Research from the Equine Research Centre in Guelph, Ontario found that the system supports stable air quality with much less bedding. The Stable Comfort surface is described by the company as the equivalent of 4–6 inches of clean dust-free wood shavings — meaning you only need enough bedding to absorb moisture rather than for cushion. Less bedding = less particle breakdown = better stable air quality, faster daily clean-out, and lower bedding costs.

What is StableComfort?

StableComfort is a patented multi-celled stall mattress and flooring system for horses, manufactured by Promat® Inc. It provides cushioning equivalent to 6 to 8 inches of shavings while using only about two forkfuls of bedding per day. The system has been in use in barns, rehab clinics, and competition stables since 1999.

Who makes StableComfort?

StableComfort is made by Promat® Inc. of Woodstock, Ontario, Canada. Promat® is the inventor and manufacturer that set the standard in the dairy industry with cow-comfort products like the Pasture Mat. The expertise gained from that cow-comfort research and education was applied to create StableComfort for horses in 1999.

What is the StableComfort mattress made of?

The mattress is built from premium virgin rubber solids and filled with 100% recycled rubber crumb. The fill is sealed beneath a single one-piece top cover so moisture and waste cannot soak into the bed. This construction gives a resilient, joint-friendly surface that also acts as a thermal barrier.

How much bedding does StableComfort save?

StableComfort reports that bedding use can drop by up to 75%. Because the mattress supplies the cushioning, you only need about two forkfuls of shavings daily — one owner reports bedding a 10' x 12' stall with just a single bag of shavings. This is a major ongoing cost and labor reduction compared with deep-bedded stalls.

How much faster is stall cleaning with StableComfort?

The waterproof, sealed one-piece cover lets liquids run off instead of soaking into the bed, so mucking a stall takes roughly 2 to 3 minutes. Overall stall cleaning time drops by 50% or more. Several customers describe daily mucking as 'a breeze' once the system is installed.

Does StableComfort help with stocking up and hock sores?

Yes. The cushioned, supportive surface reduces stocking up and hock sores and helps prevent musculoskeletal disorders. The comfort encourages horses to lie down more often, which improves circulation and rest. Multiple owners report their horses' legs are no longer stocked up after switching to StableComfort.

Is StableComfort good for arthritic or older horses?

It is well suited to arthritic and senior horses. The mattress functions as a thermal barrier that takes the chill off cold floors, decreasing joint stiffness and supporting rehabilitation. One owner with a mare suffering from Cushing's Syndrome and laminitis reported the horse was much more comfortable and no longer stocked up.

Is the surface slippery when wet?

No. StableComfort is designed with reliable non-slip footing that holds even when the surface is wet. This reduces the risk of slipping and rubbing injuries. Australian Olympic eventer Amanda Ross noted that 'the system is sturdy and has great grip.'

Does StableComfort improve barn air quality?

Yes. The system reduces airborne dust by up to 37% and lowers ammonia levels in the stall. Less dust and ammonia supports equine respiratory health, which is especially valuable for horses stabled for long periods. The sealed cover also means waste does not accumulate inside the bedding to off-gas.

What warranty comes with StableComfort?

The StableComfort mattress system carries a 3-year warranty. It is engineered for years of heavy use with minimal degradation. One owner reported the mattress still looked perfect after 8 years, and another after 3.5 years described it as still beautiful and definitely waterproof.

How do you clean and maintain StableComfort?

Maintenance is simple. The one-piece sealed cover can be cleaned with a mop, a hose, or approved disinfectants — no pressure washer is required. Because liquids do not penetrate the cover, you can disinfect the surface rather than tearing out and replacing soaked bedding.

Who uses StableComfort?

StableComfort is used by Olympic and world champion riders, equine hospitals, therapeutic riding centers, reining and performance barns, and individual horse owners worldwide. Olympic show jumper McLain Ward, Australian eventer Amanda Ross, and British Olympic medalist Nick Skelton are among the riders who endorse it. It has been trusted since 1999.

What did Olympic riders say about StableComfort?

McLain Ward of Team USA said his mare 'Sapphire LOVES her StableComfort Stall Mattress.' Nick Skelton said, 'Finally I have a mattress that does what it's supposed to do.' Amanda Ross praised its grip and noted that her horses' 'joints also look better.'

What products does StableComfort offer besides the mattress?

The full StableComfort line includes StableComfort Mattresses, StableWall, StableFlooring, Consumables, and the Portable Horse Pillow. Together these are positioned as stall and stable solutions that combine comfort, durability, and efficiency. The range lets an owner outfit a single stall or an entire facility.

Will StableComfort encourage my horse to lie down and rest?

Yes — that is one of its core benefits. The comfortable, supportive surface encourages REM sleep, relaxation, and more frequent lying down, which aids healing and recovery. One barn reports its show horses 'take a nap, laying flat every afternoon, like clockwork.'

How long does StableComfort last?

It is built for longevity from durable virgin rubber and engineered to withstand years of heavy use with minimal degradation. Real-world owner reports back this up, with one customer using StableComfort across five stalls for 18 years and another reporting the mattress looking perfect after 8 years.
