bemaxx floor protection mats in the 2024 test

The floor protection mats from the bemaxx brand delivered a very good overall result in our test. We were particularly impressed by the simple installation of the mats during testing, whereby the laid-out surface can be flexibly adapted to any requirement and individual room size thanks to the self-explanatory puzzle system. The mats appear very robust and dimensionally stable, so they also made a very good impression in our workout test. Only sharp objects such as keys, anti-slip pins from sports equipment or similar can leave ugly scratches in the material under certain circumstances. However, the floor remained fully protected in our test, meaning that we can award the product a very good rating despite some minor criticism.

ℹ️ Here we take a closer look at packaging. Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important factor. In addition, adequate protection of the product must of course also be guaranteed. Are the contents of the packaging complete and does the manufacturer make it as easy as possible for me to use the product straight away?

The floor mats arrive in very compact packaging consisting solely of a plastic film. Although this does not offer particularly good protection, we do not consider this to be necessary for this product.
The packaging is therefore resource-saving, but a more environmentally friendly type of packaging might be desirable. Enclosed are brief instructions for use with important product information in various languages. In our opinion, this would not have been necessary as the product is basically self-explanatory. Nevertheless, the reference to the existing customer support, which you can contact if you have any questions about the product, is a very nice and helpful idea.
The product therefore makes a generally positive first impression and is examined in more detail below.

ℹ️ Before we start the practical test, we take a close look at the workmanship of the products. How high quality are the materials used? Are the look and feel satisfactory?

After removing the film, the mats can be examined more closely. Visually, they appear flawless and generally well made. No defects, faults or general manufacturing inaccuracies can be detected.
All surfaces and cut edges appear smooth and even.
The mats are made of high-density EVA foam, which is particularly lightweight but stillvery robust and dimensionally stable. The material used is free from harmful substances and BPA, so it can be used in living spaces without hesitation.
Unfortunately, the manufacturer does not provide any information on the sustainability of the product. However, as the materials used appear to be of high quality and the product design means that the mats can be used again and again in different ways, we assume that the product has a certain degree of sustainability.

ℹ️ Our practical test has the highest relevance and therefore weighting. Here, the product has to undergo a wide range of criteria and tests. We check the functions and product promises of the test article.

For our practical test, we extensively tested the floor mats for quality and practicality in various application areas.
The product made a very good impression in almost every respect.
The floor mats in our test are available in the color anthracite. We find the design pleasant, practical and neutral. This means that the product can be used almost anywhere, which speaks for the versatility of the floor mats.
The manufacturer also offers a total of six different colors to choose from, which underlines our assessment.
Laying out (“fitting”) the floor tiles is extremely simple. Each tile is supplied with two different edge borders, so that a seamless and rounded assembly into many different shapes is possible.
The panels fit together very easily and can therefore be spread out as required within a very short time. This offers an enormous advantage over conventional, standardized protective mats. According to the manufacturer, the different colors of the mats are also compatible, so that color patterns are also possible.
In our practical test, we tested the mats in the form of a 90-minute workout session. Contrary to our fears, the mats did not slip but stayed reliably in place.
The tiles proved to be a pleasant floor protection – both for the floor and for the athlete and made a very robust and dimensionally stable impression, so that unevenness caused by prolonged loading of a certain area was quickly compensated for when the load was removed. Even an unusual load such as folding the mat did not cause any damage to the product.
Only sharp objects such as keys or fixing pins from sports equipment damage the mat in the form of small tears or notches in the foam. However, we consider such damage to be rather atypical.
What convinced us about the product, apart from the simple assembly and disassembly, was the possibility of very compact storage. If the mats are not needed temporarily, they can be stacked and stowed away in a very compact form within a very short space of time.
Cleaning the product is just as easy. No special care instructions need to be followed, so large areas can be cleaned with a vacuum cleaner or a simple floor wiper.
The only criticism we noticed during our test was a slight, unpleasant od or from the tiles. However, this was only noticeable from a short distance and disappeared after a quick clean.
In our opinion, the manufacturer therefore offers a clever, robust and, above all, very flexible product which, apart from minor criticism, can be awarded a very good rating.

ℹ️ Finally, we examine how the product compares to the competition. Can it keep up with the competition in terms of price and quality? Would we generally recommend buying it? We also look at the consumer reviews and check whether the critical and positive reviews are actually justified.

On the Amazon platform, consumers rate the product with an average of 4.4 stars. One common complaint is that the mats wear out quickly with intensive use, so that signs of use become visible. Many customers like the fact that the mats are very easy to install. In our practical test, we were able to confirm that the mats can be installed very quickly and easily. We were unable to test the wear and tear over a longer period of time, which is why we cannot make any statement on this.

Prices of up to €49.99 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very inexpensive products are available from as little as €19.99. The floor protection mats from bemaxx are therefore currently in the middle price segment with a price of €33.99. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio isreasonable.
