What Are the Best Foam Mats for a Living Room?

By Paige Cerulli Created: August, 2024

Foam mats can add comfort and cushion to a floor, transforming a wood floor or other firm surface into a more inviting and usable space. If you’re thinking of buying foam mats for a living room, we have several options that can help you make the most of the space.

The Best Foam Mats for a Living Room

The best foam floor mat for a room will depend on how you plan to use the space. Whether you’re going to use the room for martial arts practice, as an exercise or workout space, as a space for your pets and animals to play, or for another purpose, we have mats that are ideal for each purpose.

Practice Martial Arts

If you want to practice martial arts in the living room, the Home BJJ Mats are your best bet. These puzzle mats are 1.5 inches thick, so they help to cushion falls and keep kids safe. At the same time, the mats feature a surface that’s firm enough to support stand-up martial arts.

The no-burn tatami surface helps to prevent painful skin burns, and the mats are double-sided for long-lasting use. You can reverse the mats as they gradually become worn to extend the floor’s lifespan, and can also alternate the mats to display different colors and create patterns. The interlocking design makes for an easy installation, and since the mats measure 2x2 feet, installing them is a quick process. When practice is done, you can remove the mats just as quickly, returning your living room to its original state.



Exercise

To transform your living room into a fitness room, consider the Home Sport and Play Mat. This ¾-inch foam mat features a scuff-resistant surface that’s durable enough to withstand athletic shoes. The mats are also waterproof and stain-resistant, so they’re a durable investment in your home gym or fitness space.

These mats are double-sided with dual colors, and you can choose different colors to mix and match and create different designs. The mats include border strips for a clean, finished edge, and their 2x2-foot size makes installation and removal easy and fast.



Play Room for Kids

You can use the Foam Kids and Gym Mats Premium to transform your living room into a safe space for children to play. These play mats for a living room are ⅝-inch thick and are made of a quality EVA foam that adds enough cushion to help protect kids in case of a fall or tumble. The softer surface is also welcoming to kids who are crawling or who want to play on the floor.

Each play mat measures 2x2 feet for a fast installation, and the play mats resist stains and water, so juice spills are easy to clean up. Choose from 13 brilliant colors that kids will love, and easily create patterns with these large tiles. The tiles are even backed by a one-year warranty and are a great investment in a space for your kids.

Play Space for Pets

The Foam Kids and Gym Mats Premium are equally great if you want to create a space for your pets. The mats add comfortable cushions to the floor, so animals and dogs can comfortably lie on the floor. The mats resist stains and water in case of accidents or if your pup tracks in some mud. They feature a texture on one side and a smooth opposite surface, so you can decide which surface will support your pet’s needs the best.



Flooring

You can also use foam mats to add a visually attractive flooring surface to your living room. The Wood Grain Foam Tiles Reversible are available in five highly realistic and attractive wood grain finishes. Made of a waterproof EVA foam, the tiles are free of lead and latex, so they’re a safe choice for your family space. They’re also easy to clean, so maintaining them is a simple process.

The tiles measure 2x2 feet and are a highly durable choice, suitable for use in a room that will see lots of foot traffic. Their interlocking design creates a tight and secure fit, and you can also remove and easily store the tiles again in the future if needed.
