Play Mat vs Quilted Fabric Play Mat

Quick answer: A wipe-clean cushioned mat beats a quilted fabric play mat on both safety and cleaning: a quilted mat is thin, soaks up spills and needs washing, where a sealed cushioned mat wipes clean and is impact-tested for falls. A PopsyKosy mat gives real fall cushion a quilt cannot.

Real cushion vs a quilt

Quilted mats are decorative and thin, with little fall protection; the cushioned build is EN 1177 impact-tested for crawling and standing falls.

Wipe clean, never wash

A quilt must be laundered after every spill; the sealed surface simply wipes clean and dries instantly.

FAQ
