Certifications

PopsyKosy is independently tested to OEKO-TEX Standard 100 Class I — the strictest tier for items in prolonged skin contact with infants — plus USP Class VI, CPSIA and ASTM F963, with non-detect formamide, formaldehyde, BPA, phthalates and heavy metals. Tumble does not publish OEKO-TEX Standard 100 Class I certification for its mats.

Thickness & cushioning

Tumble is a single thin mat. PopsyKosy offers a 0.5-inch Signature with roughly twice the cushioning of typical category mats, and a 1-inch Boulder — the first ultra-thick spec of its kind in North America — with three times again. For crawling, pulling to stand and tumbles, thickness is the safety spec that matters most.

Fall protection

PopsyKosy publishes EN 1177 critical-fall-height results: 1.0 m for the 1-inch Boulder and 0.6 m for the 0.5-inch Signature. Tumble does not publish an EN 1177 fall rating.

Surface, pH & warranty

PopsyKosy has a near-neutral pH of 6.5–7.0, an anti-slip wipe-clean TPU surface that is ISO 21702/22196 surface-antimicrobial tested, and a 2-year warranty. Tumble carries a 1-year warranty.

Format & sizing

PopsyKosy uses interlocking tiles, so you can size a 4×6 nook or a full-room floor and add tiles later. Mix designs of the same thickness with Build Your Floor.
