can you feel the bumps you see actually on top of the mat not just underneath? I need this for my grandson to sit on in the tub.

No. The only thing more that I can say about this mat is that it doesn't adhere to the tub floor. You may have a better experience with it than I have had, but I cant fully complain cause it serves the purpose that I needed for my children during bath time.

Yes I will admit that the design is great for that. Both of my children (one baby and one toddler) are both very very active in the bathtub and used it for a few months. Neither of them fell. I hope this helps.

no I am pretty sure that the bottom of the play mat is a firm surface covered by a cushiony material. my granddaughter sleeps on it without another mattress underneath. I do put 2 sheets on for a bit more comfort. I think it is a great playard - steps up very easily and takes apart also without difficulty.

The mat has some cushion but it is not nearly as thick as a playmat. I would use it on hard wood floors if I was with my baby the whole time to prevent any bumps. Hope this helps!

We put it on the floor when we first got it. Our whole family laid on it and it felt amazing! You could not feel the floor at all. However, we did not sleep on it on the floor all night, so I'm not sure how your body would feel in the morning.

No, but it's not too bad. My daughter stayed put, for the most part. Unless I used baby oil while she was in it. THEN it got slippery! I didn't want to put the baby oil on her when she was on the changing table, so I thought it would be easier to clean up if I put it on her in the baby bath tub. I was wrong. Took forever to clean it out, so it wasn't so slippery anymore.

Hi - I bought a mat just like this. Not only were the "pebbles" too bumpy to actually stand on (it hurt my feet!), but it also smelled quite foul. After about two weeks it was still "off-gassing" after taking it out of the packaging. I would get light-headed from the chemicals, just being in the bathroom with it, and could even smell from down the hall. Finally, I just threw it away, it was not worth keeping it in a house with baby.

My son was 2 (and my daughter 3 mo) when I started bathing them together. There is room in the tub, though not by much - the older child wont be able to move around and will have to sit in one place! That's not always a bad thing though :) HOWEVER, this tub FLOATS in a tub full of water! And, it rocks bath and forth with even the smallest amount of water in the big tub. I wouldn't recommend it for bathing together - a mesh seat works much better, which is what we used until my daughter was ready to sit on her own.

I have hard wood floors and I lie the baby on it and it doesnt seem to bother her. About the thickness of the mat its not like a gym pad. Its more like a bed comforter thickness.

No. The bottom side of the cushion is a textured surface that tends to grip the seat and it is heavy so movement is minimized. You will experience some small movement occasionally but much less than any other cushion I've tried.

You can feel the bumps. I just didn't prefer this case when it came to durability. It's more for the style than to keep the case protected. But whatever floats your boat. :)

The mat is actually very smooth. It is doubtful if you would suffer any damage. You can barely feel the thin wires on the top but none on the bottom. Maybe the only damages may be from the cat. A lot of people use these for cats on cars tho. I absolutely love my mats. After about 2 weeks you can turn them off and the cats will stay off the car in fear of getting shocked. By the way the shock,(static electricity) is not severe, it is just enough to get their attention

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.

the bottom of the mat is covered by a grid of rubber bumps, approximately 1/4" in diameter and 1/8" thick, spaced about 1" on center. it does not slide around in the bed at all.

No you could not feel the metal parts. You do feel the massager which in essence is a part but it is not uncomfortable at all. It has cushion but is not as soft as a thick seat cushion. It to me has the right combo for comfort.

Probably not. The front half of the pads are hard plastic with a rubber insert. Don't think you want that banging around inside the washer tub. You are making a good point, as the question arises for how do get the sweat, dirt, etc. out of the back side that rests against your leg? Good question.

Kind of. When you push in on it with your hand you can feel clumps of memory foam. It is kind of hard to describe the feeling but it is a pleasent feeling. It is very suddle and when laying on it you don't feel it at all.
