Spotter mats are used during competitions. They are pushed in from the side but are
not intended for teaching purposes as they are thinner and less absorbent than Push-On
Mats.
However, spotter mats can be an invaluable tool during the weaning off process of
any skill as going from a thick mat to a thin mat before putting your pupil on to
the bed, lets your pupils feel what its like to perform the skill with less support
and aids the pupils confidence.
Spotter Mats are usually 5′x4′x4′.
