Children’s Flooring Options

Kids can be tough on flooring … and on lots of other things, for that matter. When you need children’s flooring that will last while providing comfort and fun designs, Greatmats has dozens of kids’ room flooring products that you can trust. Whether you need durable rubber flooring for a kids’ room or a fun puzzle mat foam floor that the kids can help assemble, we have all of that and more. Our kids’ floor options offer the perfect finishing touch for a room where the kids can burn off all their extra energy without you wondering whether the flooring – and the house itself – will survive.

Types of Kids’ Flooring

At Greatmats, you can select kids’ flooring in a few different formats.

Mats

Folding foam mats are a great choice as flooring for a kids’ room when you need extra cushioning. Foam roll-out floor mats often work well as a cushioned underlayment. Turf mats can help you create an area for roughhousing and sports practice for tweens and teens.

Tiles

Interlocking tiles provide an easy DIY option for kids’ room flooring. They don’t require glue for assembly, as the interlocking edges fit tightly together. Options include:

• Foam floor tiles
  
• Carpet tiles
  
• Anti-fatigue tiles
  
• Rubber tiles

Rolls

When you have a big area to cover for a low price per square foot, padded rolls of turf or vinyl are excellent choices.
