This heavy-duty splash mat is designed for high-energy sensory play, offering a large 50-inch by 72-inch coverage area to help manage spills. Specifications indicate it is constructed from a 6-mil gauge vinyl polymer with heat-sealed edges, providing a non-porous surface that resists fluids like paint and water. The material is certified as phthalate-free and lead-free, adding a layer of safety for use in childcare or home environments.
Tests show that the wipe-clean surface is resistant to staining from acrylic and tempera paints. While the heavy-gauge vinyl helps the mat stay in place and prevents edge curling, the surface can become slick when wet. Placing a non-slip pad underneath is suggested when using the mat on polished tile or hardwood floors. The mat may retain fold lines from shipping, which typically resolve when placed in a warm room to lay flat.
If you prefer a smaller decorative option for a child's bedroom rather than a large play utility, the BelugaDesign Butterfly Rug offers a softer aesthetic with a standard anti-slip backing.
