SoftStall
A wall-to-wall cushioned flooring system built to support horses standing and resting in their stalls, day after day, for years.
Private barns, boarding and training facilities, breeding operations, and any stall where a horse spends significant hours standing or resting each day.
Bare or under-bedded flooring puts hours of standing pressure on legs and joints
Horses spend most of their day standing. Hard subfloors under thin bedding provide little give, and moisture that isn't drained tends to soften hooves and encourage bacterial growth over time.
SoftStall replaces the subfloor experience entirely: a cushioned, sealed system designed to sit under bedding rather than compete with it.
Two layers, sealed wall to wall
What changes for the horse, the caregiver, and the facility
Cushioned support for hours of daily standing and rest
Consistent, predictable footing underfoot
A drier surface that reduces prolonged moisture contact with hooves
Less bedding needed for daily moisture management
Faster, easier mucking out
Less lifting and hauling of soaked bedding
Built for years of continuous daily use
Consistent results across single stalls or full barns
Backed by in-house manufacturing and installation support
Comfort and recovery outcomes reflect design intent and what owners report back, not clinical trial results.
Construction, materials, and what to know before you install
The underpad forms a continuous, cushioned base across the full stall floor. The E-Tek top cover is sealed to the underpad and turned up the walls, creating a single wall-to-wall surface with no seams at floor level for waste to collect in.
Because the system is non-absorptive, it should be paired with a thin bedding layer rather than none — bedding still matters for footing and comfort, just in a smaller quantity than a traditional dirt or mat floor requires.

Professional installation, on your schedule
SoftStall installation is carried out by trained crews to ensure a proper seal at every wall and doorway. Most single stalls are completed in about a day; multi-stall and facility projects are scheduled in phases to minimize disruption.
- Site review and stall measurement
- Subfloor preparation and inspection
- Underpad installation and wall-to-wall seal
- E-Tek top cover installation and finishing at edges
We noticed less bedding going out and a cleaner smell in the barn within the first few weeks of switching every stall over.
The daily-care claim, backed by how the system is built
Because waste sits on a sealed, non-absorptive surface instead of soaking into a subfloor, it's easier to remove and less bedding is needed to manage moisture. That is the mechanism behind the cleaning-time feedback SoftStall barns commonly report.
