Description
Mattes Custom All Purpose Numnah
The Mattes Custom All Purpose Numnah is designed to combine premium materials with precision saddle fit. Made to order in Germany, each numnah is built to support balance, distribute pressure evenly and enhance your horse’s comfort under an all purpose saddle.
Unlike standard pads, this numnah can be fully customised to suit both performance needs and personal preference.
Customisation Options
Using our online configurator, you can choose from:
- 16 velvet fabric colours
- 39 cotton and cotton sheen shades
- 30+ sheepskin colours
- Multiple rope, binding and trim combinations
Different sheepskin configurations (including lined and trim-only options)
This allows you to create a numnah that compliments your saddle, team colours or competition turnout, without compromising performance.
Performance & Comfort Technology
Mattes numnahs are engineered with horse comfort as the priority.
SPINEFREE® design
A shaped spinal channel prevents pressure on the withers and spine, allowing airflow and flexibility. An optional extra-wide wither area is available for horses with prominent withers or wide-gullet saddles.
POLY-FLEX® core construction
The internal structure combines durable needle-punched felt with polyester wadding for consistent shape retention and even pressure distribution. The design is completely foam-, neoprene- and gel-free, ensuring full breathability.
SADDLE-FIX® system
An optional fastening system that helps keep the numnah securely positioned beneath the saddle.
Optional CORRECTION® System
For riders needing fine adjustments to saddle balance, the CORRECTION® system can be added. Available with either 2 or 4 pockets, each pocket includes three 5mm POLY-FLEX® inserts. Shims can be added or removed to adjust saddle position without altering the saddle itself.
This is particularly useful for:
- Young horses developing muscle
- Horses returning to work
- Seasonal changes in condition
- Between saddle fittings

I had never heard of Mattes, so was a bit hesitant spending over £100, but have to say you were right and the end result was worth it, absolutely stunning and with the sheepskin sits perfectly under Zebedee’s saddle.

I love my new numnah, the colours look even better than they did on your site. Getting another, just need to decide what colour. Devon, UK.

Hi
Just to let you know that my mattes numnah has arrived and am absolutely delighted with it. Thank you for helping with all those choices.
The only thing is that I cannot work out how the saddle fix system works. Could you send me some idiot proof instructions please ?
Best wishes
Devon, UK.
