Keep Kids Safer With Foam Floor Mats

No matter how attentive and protective a parent is, it’s unavoidable that a child will take a tumble at some point in their life. And as they say, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. So for parents who realize they can’t hold their child’s hand around the clock, there are things that can be done to help reduce the chances of an accident happening as a child learns to walk or play.

One of the best ways to protect a child is with a foam play mat. Using closed-cell foam, these mats are firm enough to provide a stable and comfortable surface for play and walking, while having enough give and cushion to protect a child in a fall. Floor cover foam is incredibly versatile by nature of its size, made in very thin sheets that can be rolled and stored away when not in use, or implemented in seconds. And with children’s tendencies to make the biggest messes possible with whatever they are eating or playing with, a durable material is necessary. Foam floor mats are just this, as cushion cleaning is a breeze since closed-cell foams are water-resistant and most water-based inks can be washed off with soap and water. Being able to clean and sanitize a play area is invaluable for parents, especially after a child drops an ice cream cone or some juice.

For people in residences dominated by hardwood flooring, foam pads are an excellent way to keep younger children safe against the firm surface, without permanently changing the look of a room. When placed back in storage foam mats leave a room the way it was before. If you’re looking to outfit a child’s play area or trying to prevent bumps and bruises while learning how to walk, a firm and cushioning closed-cell foam floor mat is a versatile, practical product.
