I'm planning to use this for my toddler to play on. Can you recommend this mat for a toddler? What thickness did you get?

I would recommend this for a toddler. I got this for my 12 yr old daughter and her 4 year old brother plays on it all the time. It has been taken outside in the yard and left overnight and it has held up. Love this mat. Worth every bit of the money spent.

I purchased the 2" thick mat which is commercial grade and somewhat heavy due to its size (4'x8'). I would have no concern with large toddlers but a small toddler could make their way under and get stuck.

I believe I got the 2" and we love ours. It is a great mat! Very well made.

I bought it for a 5 year old who actively does gymnastics it's a very big mat I got the smaller thickness and it works great... My two year old nephew also uses it to play on

I bought this for the Children's Center I own, its very durable 2 inches thick, the different colors mean we can play games like, jump from one color to another or jump over a color. etc. Well worth the money and well made durable. I have owned it a year now, highly recommend.

The mat is attached with snaps and is very snug. It does not move when the baby is playing. I hope that helps. Thanks

It's perfect for tumbling! My daughter is a 10 year old gymnast and loves this mat. The depth of the mat is adequate to cushion falls. I highly recommend it, and I am a picky consumer.

Hi Dennis,I read your exchange with Jason on Amazon where he asked about a yoga mat thicker than a quarter inch. I already use a mat a quarter inch thick but sometimes cannot stay in certain poses because of pain of bone seeming to touch the floor. Maybe the mat is too soft, I don't know, or maybe I am just too skinny. I was looking for a thicker than quarter inch but was impressed by your statement that you had looked at this and found thicker than this would be unstable.So what is the "mat pad" to which you refer? Maybe that would be the solution. I could not identify under your products on Amazon what would be.Thanks,Greg Smith Hi Dennis,I read your exchange with Jason on Amazon where he asked about a yoga mat thicker than a quarter inch.

my son is about 50 pounds. If this were for me, I would buy one thicker than 2".

It's just as soft as any other mat that would be slip resistant. It has a bit of a "nap" to it. It wouldn't hurt a child to crawl on it and sitting on it is just fine. It isn't really padded, though, like the rubber mats we used with our kids.

no it is more for a small child--I thought it was larger also. I would say about 5' if you measure the thickness.

My daughter has really enjoyed this mat. It doesn't slip and is nice and thick. It has a good weight to it. Definitely a good buy.

It is thin, approximately 1/8 of an inch . Hope this helps. My wife likes this mat as she user the Wii because carpet too thick for Wii platform.

Very thick mat. I purchased this for my 9 year old so that she can practice her back handspring and it's perfect! This is the exact same thing as in the gyms but at an affordable price. It's very heavy duty - you won't be disappointed

Unfortunately no. As my son started moving around I became concerned about him bumping his head even though he was on this playmat. There is cushion and it is soft, but not thick. I think it's better for soft surface like plush carpets or outside on the grass.

Mine measure at .5" thick. We use ours over a hardwood floor in a 10' by 12' area. It's been great! We have young children in our home and have used different brand mats in the past and these are by far the most resilient. They are also a great cushion for when we want to stretch out or exercise. I imagine they would do very well in a tent with a sturdy canvas type floor. I know someone who has used them for that purpose and under their air mattress, as well. They were pleased. I would caution against getting them wet. A little moisture is easy to clean up but you wouldn't want any type of foam flooring to get soaked.

I cannot measure it now as I am away from home. however, I would estimate thickness at 4-5 mm or 3/16 of an inch. The mat isn't meant for a large amount of cushioning. it will protect carpet and hard wood from heavy exercise equipment. the length and width is perfect for a spinner or stationary bike with enough room to get on and off the equipment on the mat.

It's about a 1/2 in thick. The edges are contoured. I have mine on a tile floor. The mat moves a little but stays mostly in place. I love the thickness.

The mat part isn't very thick, about 1/2 inch. The top cover is slightly thicker/plush at 1 inch. If putting on carpeted floor it wood be okay as my kids haven't complained (only used for short sleeping times) but a hardwood or laminate would be pretty uncomfortable.

You could use the mat for a baby. It's much thicker than those foam pieces. The only think is the mat is not that wide so it's a pretty small playing surface.

Yes it is.. My daughter used it from 3 months until she turned 6 months and then started to crawl outside the carpet. She didn't find the toys on the mat very attractive but we mainly used it to cushion the hardfloor. Hope this helps!
