Thompson Fat Mat

Get proper positioning during floor presses the first time, every time!

World-renowned powerlifter Donnie Thompson calls the Thompson Fat Mat, “An overall win-win situation for any lifter” and “One of the best products I can use for the floor press.”

Designed by the creators at AbMat to perfectly match the dimensions of the Thompson Fat Pad bench cushions, the Thompson Fat Mat supports your shoulders with its expanded size and enables proper positioning by filling the arch between the floor and your spine so you can safely handle more weight during your powerlifting sessions.

The Thompson Fat Mat is proudly made in the USA and is identical in quality and construction to the original AbMat, just with expanded dimensions. And the Fat Mat works equally as well with or without the Thompson Fat Pad. It is truly a convergence of innovation, combining the innovation of the original AbMat with that of the Thompson Fat Pad to bring you a useful and necessary product.

No more driving your hips into the bar during floor presses or struggling with proper positioning, the Thompson Fat Mat puts you in position right from the beginning so you can focus on achieving your lifting goals.

Customer photo review of THOMPSON FAT MAT

The Thompson Fat Mat goes so well with the Thompson Fat Pad!!! All I need to do is to remember exactly where is the most supportive position I put the Fat Mat and then place it on the Fat Pad every time and do my Bench Press and Multi Bar Press. The Fat Mat gives greatest support to my back and I still need to tighten my upper back to fully support the press. Its effective and not just get the Thompson Fat Mat, get the Thompson Fat Pad on your flat bench too! This combo gives me more confidence to press heavier because I know they both give me greatest support! Thank you Mr Thompson!!!

Its a great mat. Supports my old back well benching. I’ve lifted weights for 35 years this mat allows me to keep benchpressing.

Customer photo review of THOMPSON FAT MAT

I love the Thompson Fatmat! I use this regularly, and it is awesome on the Fatpad and also on the floor for floor presses! Multiple uses as well if you flip it forwards vs backwards for feet up benching and support. One of my best purchases for the home gym!

I bought it for bench, but found so many other uses.

My sit ups hits the abs a lot more

I have Donnie’s fat pad also , I am 75 owned 2 Gyms and competed in powerlifting and body building for many years . I use the mat for the bench press under the small of my back , or some crunches or stretching . Nice addition to any athletic space , very versatile piece .

I don’t use it for its intended purpose. I use it as a seat cushion when I do leg extensions. Quality is ok.

Good product

Great for maintaining a perfect arch on you Bench Press!!!

Excellent product! Everything it promised to be and more! Besides abdominal work it’s great for lying on to relax with proper spinal posture. I love it!

It works good.

I love Thompson Innovative products!

Thank you

Feel a world of difference with floor presses and deadbugs. Works great also assisting with 90/90 hip mobility work as a cushion

great support.

The pad really works good. It keeps you in the proper position for a killer range of motion. I am extremely happy with your product. Thank you

Absolute staple in my workouts.

It fits my lumbar curve perfectly. So that gives me the support I've been missing on the bench.

I have a triple tear on my right shoulder haven’t been able to bench press more than the bar in years using the Ab mat for bench pressing puts my shoulder’s in the correct position in less then 2 weeks I can press my body weight. I can now also dumbbell shoulder press with the bench almost straight up with the ab mat. I couldn’t even do a 5lb dumbbell, same day getting the Ab mat 25lbs no problem puts my shoulder in the right position. Working out was my life now I’m back in the game!

Great for bench presses lifts up the rib cage and puts more stress on the chest

Works well isolate the chest better

This a great pad! It works well with my “Fat Pat” and Body Tempering mat.

I use the mat every bench session along with my fatpad. I also use it sometimes on off days just to help my arch when I bench. I couldn't recommend it enough and look forward to supporting Donnie Thompson in the future.
