How it works
Children grow fast, from crib to crawling. For unsteady toddling children, a very good step forward is to create a child-friendly environment, especially when it comes to floors because this is where children often get hurt. Playmats are practical, effective and an easy way to quickly and tastefully create a safe playing environment for very young children. Foam interlocking padded mats have been around for many years and they just keep getting better with time. The early mats were durable but they lacked style and got easily stained and dirty. Nowadays, the quality of foam used for playmats has increased in durability, and it does not get dirty and stained so easily. In fact, these mats easily qualify as very tasteful home decorations, which incorporate high standards of cushion-bed protection for children to play safely.

Material
The materials and features of these mats are designed for the purpose of functionality.
Let’s discuss the design first. Not many products can offer this. While children are playing, they will have tumbles, unexpected falls and these are the very causes for serious injuries when a hard surface is the point of impact. The thud of a young head hitting a hard floor surface is terrible to hear, and the potential of injury including brain damage is unpredictable. Just a few millimeters of padded mat can make a difference for the safety of your little one. To fall over and hit the head or another vulnerable body part onto a hard surface is simply inviting injury. This is why parents are wise to create an environment in which the surface is padded and safe. Ancient civilizations knew this, that is why they had
sandpit play areas.
Now, modern materials allow this safe surface concept to be brought into the home for the benefit of children.
The tiles are over-sized compared to standard foam tiles. They slot together easily and when laid flat on the floor they hold together and do not drift apart. Children can fall on these, but the cushioned foam material used to make the tiles will absorb surface impact shock, cushion the moment of contact and protect a child. Using foam shaped materials to create such an innovative safety feature in a floor covering is simply outstanding in terms of creative design. The designers of this product took a simple material and shaped it into an innovative system but they also considered the impact on home decorations. This is a highly innovative use of basic foam material.
Emotions and Functions
Two key main functions supported by a series of beneficial underlying functions. Children get an attractive
safe play area specifically designed to offer safety and protection. The family home gets a very modern and attractive floor layout. Playing children may well fall and tumble but while they do this they, land upon a padded foam surface which absorbs the shock of impact and protects heads, elbows and knees. The chances of painful skin scrapes which come from falling on basic surfaces in the home will now become a minimal risk. The function of this product is to offer safety and protection for kids while being designed to cheer-up or brighten up a home with its modern design.
Durability
The durability level of foam tiles has increased a lot over the years to the point that these tiles are incredibly durable. The lifespan of these child protective and home decor stylish tiles is very long. They do not wear out, no matter how much children play or adults relax on them. In past times, when foam tiles first appeared on the market they were very popular because people knew these were great for home insulation and warmth but they were also a way to create a soft but firm floor area, safe for children and comfortable for adults. Earlier tile versions demonstrated very high durability but they tended to get stained, easily discolored and could eventually take on a dirty appearance which even regular washing could not clean up. Newer versions of foam tiles have moved past these issues. The tiles do not stain easily, they are easier to clean and they are offered in sets which allow users to create amazing home floor designs. Using these tiles means you can create a safe play area for children, a comfortable surface on which other family members can lounge on but you also compliment your h
ome decor with very attractive modern design features.

Foam is perfect for absorbing the impact and shock and this means less trauma to the body. Young children play and they fall, but on a foam mat surface, they are unlikely to face the type of possible injuries they could face if they fell on an un-padded surface.
Design
The design of this product gets very good reviews from parents. Children never get physical injuries on any surface if it is padded enough to eliminate the transference of shock impact into the bodies of vulnerable children.
