We have a small house so we couldn’t commit to having foam tiles on the floor for our babe 24/7. This play mat is the perfect alternative! It’s thicker than a yoga mat and big enough for your LO to have plenty of room to play. It’s super easy for us to clean. When we’re done we just roll it up and put it in a corner or under our couch. My LO loves crawling around on it. Stop reading reviews and buy it!! It’s worth it.
