How big is a SaddleMattress and what type of rack does it fit on?

Each SaddleMattress is 22.5 inches long x 13 inches wide x 3 inches tall. 

Most standard English saddle racks are 22 inches long by 10 inches wide so SaddleMattress has some built in tolerance for width and length. 

The central ridge of our product fits wihin the gullet of a saddle for support and so the additional height added to the saddle/rack combination is aproximately 2 inches; that way if there is another saddle rack above yours, the saddles are not squashed too close together.

If you are unsure whether SaddleMattress will fit, we can send you a demo to try - please call us at 1-877-4 TACK AID or email lisa@saddlemattress.com.

 

 

Attaching your SaddleMattress to a standard English saddle rack is simple. Follow the instructions below to ensure a secure fit.

1) Locate the pocket on the underside of the SaddleMattress.

2) Inside the pocket are 2 Velcro seals – gently ease the Velcro apart to open the pocket and slide it over the back of the rack. The SaddleMattress should fully cover the rack from front to back.

3) While holding the mattress in place, press the bottom of the pocket up into the mattress to reseal the Velcro along the entire length of each strip.

4) To remove the SaddleMattress, simply put your hand inside the pocket and gently ease the Velcro apart.

Please note: Each SaddleMattress features a notch to grip the raised bar at the front of the saddle rack. Over time, your SaddleMattress will conform to the shape of the rack as it absorbs the pressure exerted on it.

Care and Maintenance

Your SaddleMattress comes with a high quality removable cover. For simple upkeep, use the following guidelines:

  • The interior SaddleMattress should NOT be laundered.
  •  Micro suede covers can be removed for cleaning; for best results, we recommend dry cleaning. Alternatively, machine wash separately in cold water with a mild detergent (DO NOT use bleach) and lay flat to dry (DO NOT put in dryer).
  • Vinyl covers should be wiped with a damp cloth.

Please note: Over time, your SaddleMattress will conform to the shape of the rack as it absorbs the pressure exerted on it.

SaddleMattress is intended for use underneath a saddle on a saddle rack only. It should NEVER be used on an equine.
