Play Mat vs the Floor of a Play Yard

Quick answer: A dedicated play mat is more comfortable and flexible than a play yard's thin floor: it offers real cushion, more room to move, and a surface you can place anywhere. A PopsyKosy mat gives a child a soft, generous play space rather than the hard, confined base of a play yard.

Cushion and space

Play yard floors are thin and small, while a cushioned mat gives genuine fall protection and far more room to roll and crawl.

Use it anywhere

A mat isn't tied to a frame, so the same safe surface works in the nursery, living room or at the grandparents' house.
