I got the 5x6 one which I think is the medium one and its great. So glad I didnt get the smallest one. Staying with in-laws while we get our home and it fits perfectly in the middle of our area between crib, bed, couch, and infront of TV. He was excited to see it tho now hes ignoring it and acts like its been here forever -_- but still lol its cute and soon I will start to practice with him, he already knows some letters and shapes but I want to continue to practice and play games with it. It will come in handy as he grows and continues learning and its cute to play on. Not thick but nice soft feeling. Definitely easy to vacuum. Hoping I dont have to find out about spills but well see
