A 71 by 59 inch folding foam play mat, reversible with a muted pattern on each side, thick enough to cushion a fall from sitting or early standing. The folding design is the practical difference from an interlocking foam tile floor: it comes up in one piece and goes behind a couch instead of being disassembled tile by tile. The surface wipes clean and is waterproof, which covers the entire category of things that happen on a baby's floor. Best fit: hard floors, apartments where the play area is also the living room, and anyone who wants to reclaim the space in the evening.

- Reversible with a different muted pattern on each side

- Thick enough to cushion falls from sitting and early standing
Cons
- Fold creases stay visible for a while after unrolling, they flatten out but not immediately
Frequently asked questions
Is it thick enough for a baby learning to stand?
Yes, it cushions the typical sit-and-topple and early standing falls. It is not a gymnastics mat, so it will not absorb a fall from furniture height.
Does it have a chemical smell out of the box?
There is a mild odor for the first day or two. Airing it out unfolded in a ventilated room clears it.
How do you clean it?
Wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. The surface is waterproof so spills sit on top rather than soaking in.
Does it slide around on hardwood?
It has some grip but a large mat on smooth hardwood can shift. Rug tape at the corners solves it if that bothers you.
