Rug or foam?

WasNotWas · May 2014

I think I am going to turn our office into a playroom for the boys and I'm starting to gather ideas. So what do you think? The office has hardwood floors, should I do a rug or foam squares?

I voted rug. I have a big tumbling mat that I bought at costco that I have in my office turned playroom right now. I am planning on transitioning to a bigger rug when he gets a little older and I don't have to worry as much about him eating the threads and throwing up all over it. I bought the tumbling mat when he first started learning to sit, it has been awesome. It is so plush and I think it will also be great for when he wants to lie on the floor and watch movies, or practice some gymnastics/wrestling moves.

Rug with the padding carpet stores sell to go under it so that it doesn't scratch the hardwood

The tumbling mat is def a win in this house, it also saves Mama's ass and back when he is in there playing with him for hours on end

Eta: he not she..... I definitely have a son lol

We got this for our bathroom and we love it. It's large, padded and easily wipe able.

My LO has become an expert at pulling up the tiles and using them to teeth on. I just have six set up in the kitchen and I feel like I put them back together at least 5 times a day. I would go for a rug or big one-piece play mat.

We have all carpet in our apartment except for the kitchen and baths. Its great but a pain in the ass at the same time. I hate the spills, crumbs and nonsense that get shoved into it. I have to vacuum daily! Its annoying.

I have foam for Joseph and he'll rip them apart and I just feel like they get so dirty so quickly.... it feels like I'm constantly cleaning them.... so this coming paycheck I'm buying an area rug. So my vote goes towards a rug lol.

I'd lean more towards foam or tumbling mat... I feel like with two little boys (or girls, just little kids in general) there will likely be a fair share of spills and messes and a wipable surface would probably make it easier to maintain.
