Engineered Comfort

Experience the Difference of Performance-Tested Comfort

When it comes to the wellbeing of your herd and the success of your dairy operation, you want assurance that every product you invest in will deliver lasting comfort, durability, and results. At Promat, we’re proud to back up our claims with rigorous performance testing on every mattress system we offer.

Our Engineering team puts each product through its paces in advanced in-house laboratories and real-world barn installations. This ensures our bedding solutions go beyond industry standards, providing the comfort, resilience, and support your cows need for optimal health and productivity.

Why does this matter for your farm? Performance testing means fewer replacements, less downtime, and healthier cows that produce more milk. By simulating years of use and stress, our state-of-the-art techniques verify that Promat mattresses stand up to the harsh demands of dairy barns. From elasticity and deformability to tread load endurance, our products are designed with all climate and farming conditions in mind.

Choosing Promat means investing in bedding engineered for real results, giving your animals the comfort they deserve and your business the reliability it needs to thrive.

Why Promat’s Advanced Testing Matters for Your Dairy Farm

As a dairy producer, you know that the health and comfort of your herd directly impact your bottom line. At Promat, we don’t just claim our bedding solutions are built to last, we prove it.

Here’s how our rigorous, industry-leading testing and certifications ensure you’re investing in premium products that deliver real results for your farm, your animals, and your business.

 

Comfort Research

Test Barns

In cooperation with universities throughout North America and Europe, we run several studies on cow behavior, overall health, cleanliness, lying time and yield improvement. Via time lapse cameras and hours of observations, we measure the “feedback” of the end user: your cows.

We also work with every-day farmers who put our products through real-life, day-to-day work and consistently measure the health and yield of their cows.

At Promat we understand that each herd and operation is different. That is why we ensure a variety of testing, and testing locations. Our experienced team can help find the right solution for you.

 

Extensive Testing

At Promat, our Engineering Team is committed to ensuring that all our mattress systems are thoroughly tested, both in our in-house laboratory and in the barn, before we release to the market. The team uses a combination of state-of-the-art testing tools and techniques as well as multiple in-barn test installations to ensure our products exceed the demands of our customer. Our testing techniques include:

DLG Certification: Independent Proof of Quality

Promat’s mattress and bedding solutions carry the prestigious DLG (Deutsche Landwirtschafts-Gesellschaft – German Agricultural Society) certification, recognized worldwide as the gold standard for animal welfare and product performance. This independent seal of approval means our products meet or exceed strict benchmarks for deformability, elasticity, and permanent tread load. When you see the DLG mark, you can be confident you’re providing your cows with bedding that supports comfort, health, and productivity even in the demanding Canadian climate.

Durability Testing: Built to Withstand Real-World Farming

We know your barn is a tough environment. That’s why Promat designs custom equipment to accelerate the wear and tear a cow applies to a mattress, simulating years of use in just weeks. Our state-of-the-art durability testing, with adjustable impact pressure and frequency, ensures every mattress is built to last.

Clegg Hammer Testing: Guaranteed Comfort for Your Herd

Comfort equals productivity. Using trusted Clegg-Hammer technology, we precisely measure the softness of every Promat mattress. By pairing these results with our advanced durability tests, we ensure your cows are lying on surfaces that maximize comfort, reduce stress, and support higher milk yields.

Absorption Testing: Cleaner, Drier Bedding for Better Health

Moisture and bacteria are the enemies of herd health. That’s why every Promat top cover undergoes thorough absorption testing, where we apply varying compression levels of water to guarantee moisture is repelled and your cows stay dry. For products like the Pack Mat, we track how quickly liquids move through the surface, ensuring the sand bedding above remains clean and hygienic.

Test Barns & Real-World Research: Proven in Canada and Beyond

Promat partners with leading universities across North America and Europe to conduct in-barn studies on cow and horse behaviour, cleanliness, lying time, and yield improvement. Through time-lapse cameras and expert observation, we gather real feedback from the animals themselves. These long-term studies validate that our bedding solutions stand up to daily use and are easy to clean so you get peace of mind and proven performance you can rely on.
