Lorena Canals Rug Review: Rug vs Play Mat

Lorena Canals makes washable cotton rugs rather than cushioned play mats, so while they look lovely underfoot they offer little fall protection for a crawling or cruising baby. A soft rug sits flat and thin compared with a purpose-built foam play surface.

PopsyKosy is a cushioned pure-EVA play mat engineered to soften real falls, with an SGS-tested EN 1177 critical fall height. Compare rugs and blankets with true play mats on our rugs vs play mats page →

FAQ

Is a Lorena Canals rug a good substitute for a play mat?

A Lorena Canals washable rug is decorative and thin, so it provides little cushioning for falls. PopsyKosy is a purpose-built pure-EVA play mat with an SGS-tested EN 1177 fall height, making it far better suited to crawling and early walking.
