Best Foam Floor Tiles

If you want a toxin-free large foam mat that’s not just decorative but really offers safety, we suggest going for the IncStores Premium model. These rubber-like tiles will protect your kids from unpleasant falls onto hardwood floors and pose no risk to their health.

The mats are made of non-standard closed cell EVA foam with high-density so they are soft enough to offer support but not let your child sink into them too deep. This is good both in terms of helping the kid bounce off when he or she falls but also because, should the toddler decide to lie on the floor and play, the high density will keep his or her spine straight. It’s not exactly memory foam but the closest you can get to it. And, of course, the EVA foam here has no toxic elements so you can keep these mats in bedrooms and bathrooms safely.

It might not be the best pick for covering your kitchen floor, though, as the foam is very susceptible to damage from sharp objects. You don’t want a dropped knife to cut a hole in your tiles after all.

As for the colors, which are key if you plan on putting these in a child’s room, there are many to choose from but many are relatively muted. There’s unnoticeable gray, olive, and navy blue among others but, if you’re set on a brighter shade, the mats do come in pink and lime green.

Investing in your child’s safety and comfort is always a good idea and if you want to spare no cost, the IncStores Premium is undoubtedly the best choice. Its shock absorption is stellar, the high density guarantees comfort, and the non-toxic materials make it viable even for toddlers.

There’s no reason to restrict your foam mat placement to bedrooms only, although you do have to make sure that the tiles you choose have good water- and dust-resistant coating, which isn’t always there. Luckily, the We Sell Mats 24OR offers exactly that and it’s a great choice for keeping the floors padded anywhere in your home.

Keeping these mats clean and free of dirt and unwanted moisture is easy as you can simply wipe them down with a wet napkin to remove any debris or dust. This is all thanks to a special coating that covers the EVA foam mats and protects it from mildew forming, especially vital if you plan on putting these puzzle mats into a bathroom or kitchen.

Admittedly, that coating we’re praising has its downsides as well. It seems to be the source of a mild odor coming off of the mats. Thankfully, a day of airing the mats out is enough to get rid of it and you can then use them in bedrooms without the smell bothering you.

When put together, the tiles fit neatly like puzzle pieces and the joining places are almost invisible, which makes this a good fit if you want to cover the whole floor in a room.

All things considered, the We Sell Mats 24OR is one of the best options for use in rooms other than bedrooms and halls as its water- and dirt-resistant coating extends service life and keeps the mats looking good as new.

Love your children to bits but can’t remember the last time you had some peace and quiet? After all, even when they’re running around playing in their bedroom, kids tend to stomp hard and keep parents from well-deserved naps. But that’s not a problem you have to endure for long as the ProSource PS-2301-PZZL will solve the issue for you.

These mats have great noise absorption so whether your tot is walking around or running, you’ll hear no noise at all. And that’s not the only advantage as the noise absorption is achieved, of course, thanks to a very generous layer of EVA foam. Its high density makes these tiles very safe for kids and prevents damage when they fall over.

Our only complaint lies in the fact that the color choices here are pretty limited and, depending on the pack, you might get slight variations in shades. So if you plan on covering the whole room in these, you should likely coordinate with the manufacturer to make sure that some of the mats don’t stand out due to discoloration. Other than that, though, these are very fine mats that can support high weight easily and thus can actually be used in gyms and dance classes, both as a sort of safety net and to prevent excessive noise. The ProSource PS-2301-PZZL is a great way to cut down on noise without springing for expensive soundproofing renovations.

Want to cover a bit of your floor in soft foam tiles to dampen noise and prevent damage to the floor? It’s a good idea but most mats won’t stick in place unless you fill the room with them, which isn’t always practical. But there’s a smart alternative in the form of the BalanceFrom BFPM-01GY.

These mats have a special coating both on the top and the bottom, which prevents them from sliding around. Instead, the tiles stick cleanly to the floor yet leave no residue. Plus, the coating on the top means you won’t slip on these mats whether you have shoes on or are walking barefoot. All of that makes these a great fit for bathrooms where the floor would usually be pretty slippery.

However, we do have to point out that the design of the BalanceFrom BFPM-01GY isn’t flawless. Mainly, the joining spots are very visible so if you plan to put a few of these together like a puzzle, be aware that they won’t look like one large mat but rather four small ones. It’s not a huge deal but if looks matter to you, this might not be the perfect choice.

Still, if you need to cover just a bit of space and ensure that the tile will protect you from slipping, choose the BalanceFrom BFPM-01GY. It’s reliable and safe for use and pretty reasonably priced as well.

In the grand scheme of things, foam floor tiles are pretty practical but the cost and gaps between the mats are two common problems. If you want to solve these in one fell swoop, choose the Dooboe DB-02021.

These mats have an increased number of connectors with smaller joining spots so they stick together like glue. Accidentally prying them apart or tripping over a gap isn’t going to be a problem anymore. Also, if you drop your keys or a ring, you won’t have to take the tiles apart trying to find the item as it’ll just rest on the mats themselves.

Now, admittedly, this might not be the perfect choice in terms of childproofing your home as the tiles aren’t that soft. They’re not exactly rigid but a fall onto them won’t be as cushioned as you might like. Overall, the tile material resembles cork and thus will look great in a garage or a workroom. Use it and keep your actual floor clean and safe from damage that comes with dropped tools and such.

If you want to cover a small area in foam mats, the Dooboe DB-02021 is a great choice. The 9-tile pack costs very little and offers pretty much the kind of quality you get in similar high-end options. Though it’s not perfect for bedrooms, it’s a great utility option for gyms, garages, and workrooms.
