How to Choose the Best Flooring for a Basement Bedroom
As you explore our basement bedroom flooring ideas, consider which qualities are most important for your particular space.Moisture Resistance
If your basement has experienced moisture issues or flooding in the past, then it’s important to choose a waterproof product that you can easily remove.
Warmth and Comfort
Most basements feature concrete floors that are cold underfoot. That’s why many of our basement flooring products feature raised base or cushioned designs, which can serve as a buffer to your cold, hard subfloor.
Maintenance
Think about cleaning and maintenance needs, too. A durable product that’s resistant to stains, mold, and mildew is often a great choice for a basement space.
Installation
Choosing a flooring product that you can easily install yourself can save you time and the cost of a professional installation. Plus, since many of our basement flooring products are modular, you can easily remove and reinstall them if needed.
Whether you’re fixing up an unfinished space to rent out, turning an unused space into an area for your teenagers to call their own, or trading in a small, main-floor master bedroom for a new basement suite, there are options to suit any budget and design preference.

- Wood Grain Foam Tiles
- Modular Square Carpet Tiles

The tile sizes work well for both small and large bedrooms, and adding a basement bedroom can greatly enhance the size of your house.
Premium Foam Kids & Gym Mats
Best for: Basements with moisture issues that could use a vibrant pop of color
Premium Foam Kids & Gym Mats may not have crossed your mind as bedroom flooring options, but they should. Not only are they brightly colored to add some vibrancy to a basement, but they are also waterproof - making them perfect for potentially damp spaces.
Greatmats customer Valerie installed these mats in her daughter’s nursery, and reviewed the product by writing, “This was a quick, easy, and safe solution to go over tile. The mats are very thick, good quality, and look very nice. They fit well on the floor and stay put.”
Each of these mats is ⅝ inch thick, offering some great comfort in a bedroom. They can be installed over any flat surface. The mats are stain-resistant and provide noise suppression and thermal insulation. Equipped with a thatch surface texture, they can withstand constant use while resisting scuffs and excessive wear.
StayLock Orange Peel Tiles
Best for: Bedrooms housing heavy furniture where you still want a comfortable floor
StayLock Orange Peel Tiles are made from flexible PVC and offer a cushioned comfort that feels like foam. They also provide durability like rubber and can be installed over most subsurfaces - including carpet.
Once installed, these tiles offer a secure fit that will not separate unintentionally. The surface will be waterproof and will have a raised design, so water will not get trapped beneath the flooring - keeping mold and mildew away.
This floor is tough enough for even the heaviest bedroom furniture, and it is available in gray or black.
Wood Grain Foam Tiles
Best for: A space that would benefit from a sophisticated, elevated look that’s durable, too
Wood Grain Foam Tiles offer the look of a sophisticated hardwood floor in an option that is basement-friendly. Waterproof, lead-free, and latex-free, these foam tiles look really great and perform well, too.
This flooring solution should be one of your top basement bedroom ideas because it truly combines comfort and attractiveness. They come in many wood grain patterns and colors, so there is a design option that would complement any style preference. They are simple and fast to install, and they are durable and long-lasting.
Modular Square Carpet Tiles
Best for: Bedrooms that need extra cushion and buffering from the cold cement basement floor
Modular Square Carpet Tiles are one of the most popular basement bedroom ideas because they offer the cozy comfort of traditional carpet in a product that is basement-friendly. This flooring is fast and easy to snap together, and because it is raised, if the subfloor gets wet, the carpet tiles will allow for airflow beneath and can be disassembled and re-installed as needed.
These floating floor tiles are made from recycled materials, and they feature a Berber-like carpet top.
They can easily handle the weight of even the heaviest bedroom furniture, and they are great for cold basement floors as they reduce transmission of cold temperatures from the subfloor through the carpet.
Home Sport & Play Mats
Best for: Adding extra durability and shock absorption to a bedroom floor
Home Sport & Play Mats could also be used in a basement bedroom. Measuring ¾ inch thick and made from durable, EVA foam, these mats also offer a flexible consistency similar to a soft rubber while providing more cushion than rubber typically does.
The mats are designed for gym and play spaces, so you know they will endure whatever a bedroom delivers. They are waterproof, stain-resistant, and scuff-resistant, and they reduce fatigue and absorb shock extremely well.
Reversible Wood Grain Foam Tiles
Best for: Elevating a bedroom with the look of wood while maximizing cushion and warmth, too
The Reversible Wood Grain Foam Tiles are yet another basement bedroom option, with one side presenting the wood grain design of choice and the reverse side featuring a durable, thatch surface.
This flooring is 1/2 inch thick and made of EVA foam. It offers a comfortable solution that is affordable and low maintenance and makes an ideal covering for a cold subfloor. It’s easy to install and offers anti-fatigue and insulative benefits. It’s waterproof and durable, too.
