Shops
Foam floor tiles are not that common in everyday sports shops if they carry any type of tile. There are usually rubber mats or rubber tiles due to home gym users, who want something stable to put the equipment onto. Although, sports shops dedicated to contact sports such as judo, karate, MMA etc. tend to stock foam flooring or foam mats for home training purposes. Another shop to look out for are shops that stock gymnastic equipment. They tend to have safety mats in stock for use around the gymnastic equipment, and may be able to get hold of some foam floor tiles from their regular supplier. The large DIY chain store Wickes stocks a small number of foam tiles in some of their larger stores, but it is best to check stock availability beforehand.
Online
The web offers a much larger choice of foam flooring, but with the disadvantage of not been able to see it first hand what you are getting before you purchase. A website that specialises in interlocking foam flooring tiles and holds a vast amount of choice in terms of size and colour is Softfloor.co.uk. They have supplied flooring to TV programs such as 60 minute make-over, four homes and property ladder. Another website that specialises in all types of foam flooring including outdoor flooring and dance studio mats is Arrows-uk.com with a selection of reasonably priced offerings and some harder wearing options. It is also a good site to use for next day delivery. For a huge range of options from various different sellers, the well-established site, Amazon.co.uk offers a great choice with the added benefit of a customer review section under every product. It allows an unbiased review from previous customers, making a possible purchase decision even easier to make. If you are looking for a potential bargain, then the online auction site Ebay.co.uk offers a variety of different foam floor tiles ranging greatly in both price and quality. Since eBay is an auction site, most sellers prefer customers to pay through PayPal.
