What Type of Foam Are Children's Mats?

Children’s foam play mats are an excellent flooring solution for any space where kiddos will spend a lot of time playing. Not only does foam provide a safe and comfortable space for youngsters, but it also can add a lot of color and style to an otherwise boring space. Children’s play mat foam is typically EVA, ethylene vinyl acetate, a safe material for kids that provides a rubbery flooring feel that offers excellent buoyancy and shock absorption capability.

Although there are different types of children’s play mat foam options, interlocking mats are among the most popular. These make an excellent addition to any floor where kids will run, jump, roll, or play, as they are lead and latex-free, waterproof, non-toxic, stain-resistant, and super easy to install with the interlocking, puzzle design.

You can add comfort and color to a portion of a larger room, providing an area of cozy and cute flooring for parents and children to enjoy. Greatmats has different children’s play mats and foam options available, all of which go together quickly to provide a level of safety and comfort that doesn’t break the bank. There are different styles and thicknesses to choose from, depending on the purpose the mat will serve.
