Samantha Creates a Safer Playroom with Greatmats Foam Tiles

When Samantha O. of New York wanted to create a playroom in her home’s basement for her kids, she knew she needed to find play mats that were safe for her children. Not only did the floor mats for a kids' playroom need to be soft and comfortable, but they also needed to be non-toxic. After an online search, Samatha found the perfect product at Greatmats.

Finding the Right Floor Mats for a Kids' Playroom

Samatha was working with a vinyl subfloor, so she needed mats that were DIY friendly and that could be installed over that flat, hard surface. It was her first attempt at creating a playroom, and she knew the flooring needed to be soft and forgiving. Since the children using the space included a toddler and a set of newborn twins, it was particularly important that the flooring contain no toxic chemicals.

Samatha performed an online search and discovered Greatmats. She also found the Foam Kids and Gym Mats Premium, which addressed all of her needs in a playroom flooring product. The foam mats were crafted from quality EVA foam and were designed specifically for kids’ spaces. They provided valuable cushion and comfort, plus they resisted stains and water.

Samantha’s Experience with the Foam Kids and Gym Mats Premium

Samantha noted that the mats were very cost-efficient, plus they were available in a range of colors, giving her plenty of choices. She also highlighted how easy and convenient the process of buying the foam mats from Greatmats was.

“The website was easy to navigate, and the pricing calculator was very helpful,” she explained. Samantha noted that some competitors sell foam floor tiles in bundles, but it’s difficult to know exactly what you’re going to receive ahead of time. “The shipping experience was incredibly quick,” she says of her experience with Greatmats.

Samantha ended up choosing the mats in white and green, and the mats shipped within a few days of her order. The installation process was equally fast and easy. “From the time we took [the mats] from upstairs to the basement to installing them was less than 30 minutes,” said Samatha. “It was really easy to figure out how to line all the mats together, and we love the experience.”

Since the mats feature puzzle-style interlocking edges, Samatha has noted that she might expand the playspace in the future, and if she does, she’ll buy more of the mats to complete the project. She explained that she loved the look of the playroom, and the mats were very easy to install.

Why the Foam Kids and Gym Mats Premium are Perfect for Playrooms

The Foam Kids and Gym Mats Premium are an ideal choice for playrooms, as Samantha designed. As she discovered, the mats are available in numerous colors, so it’s easy to create fun patterns and designs that kids love.

Additionally, the foam texture creates a safe and comfortable floor that kids can play, crawl, sit, and kneel on. If kids take a tumble, the soft play tiles help absorb shock to potentially prevent injuries.

Suitability for Basements

The EVA foam is safe and non-toxic, a particularly important characteristic when designing a playroom. It resists stains and water, which is essential when you’re installing the tiles in an area like a basement, where moisture could be an issue. Since basements can be cold, the foam tiles help buffer the temperature, contributing to a more comfortable playspace. They also offer the perk of helping to absorb some sound, which can reduce the noise of the playroom.

Ease of Installation

Perhaps most importantly, the tiles support an easy DIY installation, which is essential if you’ll be creating a playroom yourself. Their puzzle-style interlocking edges mean the tiles connect together in seconds, and since they measure 2x2 feet, the tiles can quickly cover even a larger playroom floor for a fast and simple installation. Each tile includes border strips, so you can create an island installation with clean, finished edges.

If a tile becomes worn or damaged, you can replace that one tile, prolonging the lifespan of your floor and avoiding the hassle and cost of replacing an entire room of flooring

As Samantha found, these tiles are ideal for a playroom, and we think you’ll be as pleased with the results as she was.
