Customization
Made to order: density, thickness, colour and shape to your drawing. Die-cutting, CNC routing, lamination to film or fabric, slitting and adhesive coating all run in-house, so the part we quote is a finished part, not just a sheet. How a custom part is cut and routed explains what to send with the drawing.
Regular material: MOQ 1,000 m², lead time 15–20 days from order confirmation. Custom parts are quoted from the drawing. A4 samples are free, shipping included.
An outdoor rug is a foam mat laid on the ground to sit or sleep on. Bofeng Foam produces the sheet it is made from in cross-linked polyethylene at 10 mm to 20 mm, where the closed-cell structure does the job that matters outdoors: it keeps ground moisture and ground cold away from the person on top of it.
Features
- Water-resistant by structure: closed cells cannot fill with water, so the mat stays dry on wet grass and does not gain weight as the day goes on.
- Thermal separation from the ground: the foam layer breaks the direct conduction path between cold ground and the user, which is the difference between a comfortable rest and a cold one.
- Light and packable: at these thicknesses the mat rolls or folds into a small volume and adds almost nothing to a pack.
- Easy to clean: mud and spillage wipe off the closed-cell surface rather than soaking in.
- Three thicknesses: 10 mm, 15 mm and 20 mm, so the mat can be tuned from a light picnic sheet to a sleeping mat.
- Available in colour: the sheet is supplied in colour, with the surface printable for branding or pattern.
Applications
- Picnics and family outings
- Camping and hiking
- Beach and park seating
- Festival and event seating
- Outdoor yoga and exercise
Specifications for outdoor rug foam
An outdoor rug faces rain and sun, so dimensional stability and colour retention decide the grade.
| Foam | Expansion | Apparent density | Single-layer thickness | Why this grade |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| XPE | 20–30× | 33.3–50 kg/m³ | 3–15 mm | Low water absorption and a dimensional change of no more than 2% at 70 °C, so the rug does not creep in the sun. |
| IXPE | 30–40× | 26.8–33.3 kg/m³ | 0.1–15 mm | Lighter backing for a thinner, roll-up rug. |
Base material specifications are on the XPE, IXPE and IXPP material pages; finished products are on the XPE foam and IXPE foam pages. Tell us the load, the space available and the service temperature and we will confirm the grade against your drawing.
Why Choose Bofeng Foam
We supply outdoor rug foam at 30× foaming (33 kg/m³) in 10 mm, 15 mm and 20 mm, in widths of 0.6 m, 1 m and 1.2 m, in colour with colour made to order. The base material is described on the XPE foam page, and the same sheet is used for the camping mat.
In-house conversion. A rug is a narrow, long part, so we slit the sheet to the rug width and cut it to length rather than leaving you to trim a full-width roll. Regular sheet starts at 1,000 m²; slit and cut rolls are quoted from your sizes.
How little water closed-cell foam actually takes up, and why water-resistant is not the same as waterproof, is measured in our water absorption guide.
Outdoor Rug Foam: Plan the Fold and the Finished Contact Face
Set the Carrying Format
Provide the open dimensions, intended rolling or folding pattern and any carry straps or joined panels. A large unfolded sample may not show the crease that develops at a fold or the strain at a joined edge. Check the full construction after the agreed packing and storage condition.
Review the Ground and User Faces
Identify which face contacts the ground and which contacts clothing or skin. Film, fabric, print and adhesive must be considered alongside the core. Low foam water uptake is not proof that seams, a fabric facing or trapped water between layers will remain dry. Agree cleaning and drying instructions for the finished rug.
Confirm Outdoor Exposure
State whether the rug is used temporarily outside or left exposed. Do not assume a foam name establishes UV, weathering or colour-retention life. Request project-specific evidence when permanent exposure matters. Check edges and attachment points, which can receive loads different from the middle of the sheet.
Keep the Approved Build
Retain the grade, facing, colour, dimensions and packed format with the sample. For a sleeping-pad request, distinguish this picnic or ground rug from a product requiring a tested thermal rating. We supply foam to the agreed construction, without turning a conductivity figure into a finished-product sleeping rating.
For sample identity, dimensions and the acceptance record, use the first-article review checklist with the application-specific checks above.
