Rubber cow mattress Pack Mat™

for cubiclescow comfortCattle Bedding

Overview
Pack Mat™ is a rubber crumb-filled mattress with a protective top-cover. Its yielding surface prevents sand compaction, producing a softer, consistent bedding surface for dairy stalls.

Details
Proven in use since 1998, the Pack Mat™ system reduces sand usage by up to 80%. Research and field studies indicate only 1" (2.54 cm) of sand is required with Pack Mat™, compared with the typical industry standard of 8" (20.32 cm). Stalls remain evenly surfaced and freshly manicured.

The Pack Mat™ maintains consistent neck-rail height relative to the bedding surface. Studies report cows can displace up to ~22 kg of sand per cow per day; the yielding mat surface prevents animals from digging holes, preserving stall geometry and easing cow movement — which reduces animal stress.

Pack Mat™ is durable and low maintenance, offering a practical bedding solution for dairy operations.
