Interlocking Soft Foam Floor Mat – 18 Pieces Protective Gym

I have this under my wine barrel that’s been converted to an indoor mini pond. I originally thought it would cut through the material at some point, due to all the weight of the wine barrel on the edge as it’s not flat bottom. But it has not in months. I have extra around the barrel. When I step on it there is a noticeable temperature difference from the floor and this product. The floor is cold and you don’t feel the cold as much. I have a rug which doesn’t do near as much of a temperature difference as this does. So I’m going to order some more and put it under my rug to not feel the cold when I put my feet on it. Originally just wanted a barrier for the wine barrel and the floor, but after stepping on it and noticing the temp difference, I’m definitely going to use it for that new purpose. A note that I find rather important: one side is completely smooth while the other side has a texture to it (slightly raised pattern). You can place the texture side down and use the smooth side up, for an aquarium.

Bit expensive but worth it, I ended up having to buy two packs for a relatively small area. I’m glad money goes to planting trees with each purchase apparently.
Mats have good cushion, don’t compress as much as cheaper mats, easy assembly, clips together securely and so far seems to not slip even on painted concrete. I’m glad of the warmth it’s providing my fee

The assembly is easy except for the edges which takes time matching the right pieces – like a jigsaw. The foam is quite thin so if outside be aware that it could blow away in the wind. Too soon to know if it will stand up to being outside. Doesn’t take stuff dropped on it too well, it’s easy to get dents or digs in the fabric. That said, it does look good but it is quite expensive.

These tiles are brilliant. I searched extensively for BPA free safe tiles for my three kids to play on and this product ticked all the boxes. I ordered 6 packages of these for our living room and the kids bedroom which was a small investment but well worth it. The product arrived a day sooner then expected which was nice but what really brought a smile to my face was when I opened each of the sealed packages and there was absolutely no smell from this product. This made me feel even better about my purchase knowing my kids would not be inhaling some cheap plastics or toxic fumes. I was pleased I had spent more for a better product because there are cheaper tiles out there but if you want peace of mind for your kids then I assure you these are worth the money. The smaller sized tile allows for greater versatilely and the edges are snug and secure. No issues whatsoever. I was however surprised how many edge pieces I received as there are two for each tile. Because I was creating large spaces with these tiles many of the edges were not utilized and thus became waste. This disappointed me from an environmental standpoint but not enough to decrease my 5 star rating. I hope this review assists someone else during their buyers journey as I feel it important to spread the word about a quality product when I encounter one. A quality product deserves recognition.

Maybe something to consider for the manufacturer is to offer tiles without edges and let the educated consumer determine exactly what is needed to avoid unnecessary waste. I realize this may not be economically feasible but at least its something to consider. Cheers-
