RealFeel golf mats are marketed around one central idea: a surface that feels closer to grass at impact. Feel is one variable. Turf material, backing options, durability, price, and where the mat is made matter just as much.

This comparison covers both brands honestly across every variable that matters in a golf mat purchase, so you can make the decision that is right for your specific use case rather than relying on marketing claims from either side.

How RealFeel Approaches Feel

RealFeel builds its pitch around a softer surface that lets the club move into the mat at impact. If that specific surface feel is your only priority, that is the design choice they make.

All Turf Mats takes a different approach: a consistent Nylon hitting surface paired with your choice of backing, including shock-absorbent 5/8 foam that helps cushion impact.

Turf Material

RealFeel markets a proprietary surface construction built around its feel, which is a different construction from the Nylon turf All Turf Mats uses.

All Turf Mats uses Nylon turf: the same UV-resistant, residue-free, cleat-resistant material used in commercial driving ranges and professional sports facilities. Nylon delivers consistent performance across the full life of the mat without the surface break-in period that some softer surface materials require. For golfers whose primary concern is durability and consistent ball contact over time rather than maximum impact softness, Nylon is the right material.

Backing and Cushioning

All Turf Mats addresses impact absorption through backing selection. The 5/8 closed-cell foam backing on Super Tee and Fairway foam-backed models provides shock absorption that helps cushion impact compared to urethane-backed mats. The foam compresses slightly under impact, enough to create a noticeably more forgiving feel than thin-backed alternatives.

For golfers who want the most cushioning, choosing the foam-backed version of any All Turf Mats golf mat is the most direct response to that concern. See the full breakdown at Do Golf Mats Hurt Your Wrists.
