We have a hard floor. Is the mat thick enough to protect the baby's head in case he rolls over?

I would say, "No" - but I'm overly cautious. We have hard floors too, so I put some of those play mats underneath for extra padding.

Yes the mat is soft but we also put a blanket underneath it - even though they don't fall far - mom wanted too - I thought it was fine

I use this on hardwood floors and I use it outside on the stone patio and we never had a problem. We love this playpen, you can roll it though doorways making it so convenient to move from room to room.

Personally, I'd put another mat or a rug beneath it. It has a decent pad if it's placed on a carpeted surface, but I'd be a little nervous putting it on a hardwood floor. Otherwise, I loved this play yard. :)

Probably not. It's like a thin quilt. But we always had stuffed animals and pillows in ours and never had an injury

This mat is thinner (about 1/4 inch thick) and made from a very tough, denser material which seems to be a cross between plastic and rubber. It is not likely to rip and it would protect the floor beneath the equipment as long as there are no sharp contact points but it would not help with noise reduction. My treadmill took 4 people to move it and I have had the mat for 3 years and there is no sign of wear on it. There are other mats that are an inch or more thick and the rubberized material looks like it is injected with air, like the inside of a Three Musketeer Bar, and that type of mat may muffle noise.

Yes it should keep you off the floor, it is only about 3-4 inches thick but firm.

Not really. It kept my son's upper body from rolling out but not his legs and hips. Definitely should only be used on a floor, not raised.

This mat is thick enough to be used without slippage or damage to the tile floor, in my opinion. Kon

No. The mat does not slip on our hard floors. It stays put unless we move it.

Unfortunately no. As my son started moving around I became concerned about him bumping his head even though he was on this playmat. There is cushion and it is soft, but not thick. I think it's better for soft surface like plush carpets or outside on the grass.

My best guess would be yes! It is a nice thickness and after you unroll it and give it a few minutes to warm up and flatten out it stays down like a dream. If you have concerns with sliding I would dampen the surface under the mat first to help give it some suction.

I think yes. Maybe with a little extra head support from a rolled blanket. I didn't buy this until my baby was 4 weeks old. He's 11 weeks now and uses it every day.

According to the We Sell Mats website (wesellmats.com), they are 3/8" thick. Most others I see are 5/8" so I'm wondering if these are thick enough to provide good padding for a baby, particularly over a very hard tile floor. Any opinions on that?

this rubber-mat is fairly thick and doesnt sound like it would match your criteria. I was surprised that it was very thick, however the length of it is quite small considering the dimensions of the floor is not that substantial.

Yes but If it's thicker than a yoga mat, your better off asking your kid to make a blanket fort for you to sleep in and still have room.

I have hard wood floors and I lie the baby on it and it doesnt seem to bother her. About the thickness of the mat its not like a gym pad. Its more like a bed comforter thickness.

Yes, though we put in rolled receiving blankets to keep baby from rolling. Would not suggest moving an older baby(8+ months, if you are still using it).

Hello,we Have hardwood floor and found it to be just fine in protecting our son from some of his falls. He has taken some pretty bad spills on this mat and has basically dusted himself off and kept going. Our son has used this since he was about 7 months old and is now 13months old. Now that he walks it's obviously harder to keep him on the mat but that's not really the mats fault! :) hope that helps.

My daughter does the same thing! It has about 1/4 of an inch or less of mesh fabric. It's not very squishy, but I thought it did a nice job preventing bruises. You honestly wouldn't want it to be padded because it's a mesh liner that the baby can breath threw if they were to get pinned against it.

Yes. Also the hard feet are below the bottom of the bassinet, so if placed on a hard surface there is a space underneath and the baby is suspended by an inch or so anyway. Hope that makes sense.
