PRODUCTS	WHAT is stable comfort? \| Benefits \| FACTS & FIGURES
	STABLE COMFORT is An Innovative, Patented, & Shock-Absorbing, Mattress System StableComfort Reproduces the Characteristics of Natural Pasture. Allowing Your Horses to Have the Confidence to Walk, Rise, & Lay Down Without the Fear of Slipping. Stable Comfort is much more than a stall mat. Stable Comfort is a 2-piece system. The first component is a multi-celled mattress filled with uniformly sized rubber crumb. This rubber crumb provides the mattress with its high level of comfort and its shock absorbency.








	The second component is the one piece top covering. The top cover is made from an industrial strength geo-textile and impregnated with a vulcanized rubber compound, that not only adds to the durability, but also makes it a non-draining, non-absorbent system. The top cover is fastened to the stall walls ensuring that it stays in place and that no bedding or waste gets underneath the system. The Ultimate in Stall Comfort for Your Horse!

	For the Horse
	For the Horse
	Ultimate Comfort – StableComfort stall flooring provides unsurpassed comfort through a resilient stall surface which mimics natural turf. Horses on StableComfort stall flooring are encouraged to lie down to rest more often and for longer periods of time. While standing, this stall mat system provides a supportive, even surface. While lying down the StableComfort stall flooring decreases the time line of injury rehabilitation and aids in loosening stiff joints. The StableComfort stall mat system provides insulation from the cold and a barrier against dampness from concrete floors. The equine performance industry reports less leg fatigue and a reduction in tissue fluid accumulation with the StableComfort stall flooring system. Non-Slip – StableComfort stall flooring provides a non-slip surface, enabling safer and easier movement. In fact, many veterinary facilities are taking advantage of this benefit in their post-anesthetic stalls. Air Quality – The StableComfort stall mat system is equivalent to a minimum of four inches of bedding. Research from the Equine Research Centre in Guelph, Ontario has found that using a fraction of the bedding with the StableComfort stall flooring system improves stable air quality without sacrificing horse comfort. Less bedding means less dust! Joints and Sores – The StableComfort stall mat system is designed with a horse-friendly surface. The incidence of hock sores are drastically reduced and even completely eliminated with the use of the StableComfort stall mat system. The supportive, yet forgiving, characteristics of StableComfort have produced proven results in animals with joint problems. Foaling – Excellent environment for foaling! StableComfort stall flooring provides great footing for the active and energetic newborn, not to mention the easy clean up when the foaling is over. For the Owner Bedding – The StableComfort stall mat system is the equivalent to 4-6” (10-15cm) of wood shavings which allows you to reduce bedding usage without sacrificing horse comfort. Labor – Cut muck out time in half! Less bedding means less work and lower costs! The wall-to-wall installation of StableComfort stall flooring means dirty bedding stays on top where it can be easily removed. In many areas, disposing of your soiled bedding is very costly. This stall mat system can reduce your manure pile up to 65%, thereby putting more money in your pocket. Stall Maintenance – Because StableComfort stall flooring covers the entire floor, horses are unable to dig, thereby drastically reducing stall maintenance. < top >




	FACTS & FIGURES FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 1. What happens to the urine? The urine stays on top of the system, is absorbed into the appropriate amount of bedding and removed from the barn. Research shows that this method delivers the lowest amount of toxic ammonia odors in a barn. 2. Does the urine attack the top cover? No. Private testing through an independent laboratory has been done to be sure that urine does not attack the top cover. 3. What is the cost of one stall? We have multiple dealers across Canada and the United States. Please call or e-mail us for your nearest dealer or to request a personal quote. 4. What is the warranty on this system? There is a 3 year manufacturer’s defect warranty on the entire system, valid from the date of purchase. Some terms and conditions apply. For details or to place a warranty claim, contact the place of purchase. 5. How long does the product last? Our original stalls are still installed with their original top cover. StableComfort™ is a product that may or may not out live the horse but will definitely make the horse live longer. 6. How do I fasten into various types of walls? Wood – Use wood screws. Concrete/brick – Pre-drill holes into the wall prior to fastening with steel nail-ins or concrete fasteners. Steel – Use steel screws. 7. Is the StableComfort™ system too soft for the health of the horse? Absolutely not. Extensive testing has been completed on what animals need for comfort. The most comfortable surface for horses is outdoors, and this is what we have imitated indoors. 8. What sort of cleaning products can I use on the StableComfort™ system? Recommended cleaning products are diluted bleach and mil cleaning detergents. You can also power wash your stall floor system. Plastic pitch forks are strongly recommended to avoid damaging the top cover. 9. What type of flooring is best to install over? The best floor to install on is a flat cement base. Gravel and crushed lime stone are also adequate bases to install on as long as the surface is compacted down and is flat. Sand bases are not recommended, however still can be used as long as gravel is compacted on top. < top > GRAPHS The StableComfort system has been proven to be the equivalent of 4 - 6 inches of wood shavings. This means that in many cases we are simply replacing a lot of bedding and many people bed much heavier than this amount. The best argument for this is the long list of testimonials we receive from people who have seen noticeable improvements in their animal's health while being stabled on StableComfort. StableComfort can be installed over any existing stall flooring, with minimum preparatory work saving time, energy and money. StableComfort replaces bedding material for the purpose of horse comfort now all you need is enough bedding to absorb the moisture! Less bedding means less particle breakdown, resulting in better air quality in your stable. Less bedding means faster daily stall clean-out time. Less bedding means more money in your pocket. The charts below from the Equine Research Center at the University of Guelph, Guelph, Ontario Canada says it all. Shavings required to bed a stall using StableComfort was 80% less than the control stall. Dust levels present during mucking were reduced by 80% as well. The Equine Research Center also found that using StableComfort cut their daily clean out time. The graph below illustrates how StableComfort compares with other stall floorings and shows its superior ability to provide the highest level of horse comfort. This graph was produced using The Clegg Hammer test. The Clegg Hammer is an ASTM device used to measure the shock absorbance of different surfaces. In effect it tests the hardness of a surface. The lower the number registered by the Clegg Hammer the better the shock absorbance. < top >
