Questions people ask

Is a folding mat or interlocking tiles better?
Folding mats have fewer seams to clean, while interlocking tiles can be arranged to fit an odd-shaped room.
How thick should a foam play mat be?
Thicker mats feel more cushioned underfoot, so compare the listed thickness and choose based on the floor type and how the mat will be used.
