In our experience, textiles—usually fabric scraps—are the best filling for punching bags. They provide enough volume without being too heavy. Plus, fabric scraps don’t compact as much over time as other materials (such as rubber granules or sand), which would eventually make it feel like you’re hitting a hard wall. 

We've developed a well-thought-out combination of recycled textile scraps and a gravel core for our punching bags—to achieve the best balance between weight and shock absorption.

In this article, you'll find detailed instructions on how to safely mount your punching bag to the ceiling or wall—including tips for ceilings in older buildings, rental apartments, and alternatives such as wall bars or freestanding stands. Plus: What to consider when choosing a rope, chain, and spring, and what height works best.

Looking for a professional punching bag? Leather is unbeatable.

Genuine leather lasts longer, feels better, and just looks great—it’s in a whole different league compared to faux leather. Add the right weight (e.g., 40 kg for a length of 120 cm), a filling made from fabric scraps, and a sturdy hanging mechanism, and you’ve got your perfect training partner.

Our punching bags are handcrafted, extremely durable—and look so good that you definitely won't want to hide them in the basement.
