Unlike other equestrian brands, Mattes is renowned for the bespoke nature of its saddle pads and accessories. But what makes Mattes unique and in our opinion, the number one brand of saddle pads, is its functional saddle pad design. Saddle pads are made with a quilt, manufactured using a superior cotton twill fabric, the kind used in heavy-duty work clothing.
Inside the quilt where flexibility and durability are important is a double layer of POLYFLEX®. POLYFLEX® is a polyester non-woven felt fabric that is created through a more technical felting process. The felt is punched with a specially designed felting needle, one that has small barbs on the end. The barbs catch the polyester fibres pulling them through on themselves and inter-tangling the fibres together to create the felt fabric.
Polyester felt, is far superior to other materials such as memory foam, neoprene, or gel, because it retains its shape under continuous pressure. The result is a naturally breathable quilt material, firm enough to keep its shape over time, frictionless and does not create pressure points for the horse.
All versions of the Mattes saddle pad are available in Cotton, Cotton Sheen or Luxurious Velvet quilts. The cotton quilt is 180g/m2 and the cotton sheen and velvet are 400g/m2. Both cotton twill and velvet fabrics are blended to ensure that the colour does not fade, even after the pad has been washed or cleaned many times. The shape of each saddle pad is also anatomically correct, with a high wither cut, so that there is no pressure on the wither area.
Mattes pads are not as expensive as you think. The price for standard cotton saddle pads and numnahs is less than £65.00, and the Mattes Half Pad starts from as little as £50. Bearing in mind the quality of the materials used and the technical design and manufacturing process, this compares extremely favourably to many other well-known brands. The bespoke nature, quality shape, and fit of Mattes saddle pads are undeniable and if cared for, will last for years, making them an extremely cost-effective purchase.
