The Color Folder is our original playmat (it has been loved by 5,000+ parents). It has 9 layers of recyclable premium inner foams and FDA compliant vegan leather cover. The Deluxe is very similar to the Color Folder, but it has an additional layer of silicon on top of the original Color Folder fabric, which provides a slightly more grippy feel and premium appearance. Both have differences in prices, sizes and color options.
