we're using these as temporary padding for our kids until we finish our basement. Will these hold up to having furniture (sectional) set on top of it?

I use my mats for daycare use. We have put furniture on them. I got them for the babies I take care of and of course that was perfect. Now we use them for anything and everything. They clean up great.

If you are adhering them to a very clean, flat surface, they should hold up okay. My concern, as you said, is if they get wet. I wouldn't put a lot of faith in them if they DO get wet as they're not really made for that. You could always use epoxy or a small screw to adhere them to the surface and that would likely rectify the issue of them potentially getting wet. Check your local home depot or lowe's, they probably have something better for your application than this.

The padding is almost like a hard tempur-pedic material, if you want to rest your arms on a hard surface these will do just fine. But they won't be sufficient for hard impact on hard floors.

They are pretty firm. I'll be honest, this set is really a cheap solution if you aren't picky about your living room furniture. I went with it because it looks modern and I was looking for an inexpensive bachelor pad set. This wouldn't be the ideal furniture for comfortable long term furniture - you really do get what you pay for - the leather cushions are held up by velcro and if you are asking about the soft cushions - they are firm.

They will be fine. I have them under my couch and other heavy furniture. they have been there for over a year. Enjoy

Although I haven't used them for that purpose, I would certainly think that they would work for that application. They hold the item up off the surface a bit and are soft themselves. Hope this helps!

They hold up pretty well but I don't know about claws. I walked on them with high heals and they left a mark. Overall good quality though. I don't think you will find kids matts that hold up to dog claws? Not sure.

Hmmm...it wouldn't seem so since they are meant as a cushion between the bottom of heavy furniture and hardwood floors. But you might try Velcro strips - one stuck to the couch arm and one stuck to the fabric so the "teeth" mesh with each other to see if that works. Lower profile too as the pads are thick and stiff.

I think the fabric will hold up, we have a cat with claws. I bought the love seats for a 6 bed assisted living, so they are getting alot of use.

they are not thin. They lay flat without any tape at all. I don't know about adding padding because it may not lay flat, but you could try.

I do! I have a hammock suspended in my lower level ceiling for kids the use. These will definitely hold as long as they are in a secure place.

I really would not. These are for more for stationary items. Even then, our bed seems a little unstable, but that is due to how high up these put our bed. If you put them on a glider I can only imgine the rocking back and forth force, will cause the whole thing to topple over.

Personally, I would not leave them permanently. Your sofa and lounge chairs will probably slip and slide during use. These pads are for moving furniture around on a hard surface.

I use it in concrete basement but I don't think it would slip because of felt underneath. It seems to hold up well.

They r strong so if u drag them they might. U could glue fabric to protect.
