As a mom of 5 kids under 10, having a multi-functional mat that provides a comfortable place for my kids to play is a game changer. These mats feature beautiful designs, making whatever space I use the mat in feel more sophisticated and put together. The water-resistant material makes inevitable spills and messes easy to clean up, and I love the foldable design so I can easily transport the mat when needed and put it away when playtime is over.

The House of Noa Tumbling Mat provides parents and kids alike with a convenient way to get on the ground, and play with each other, roll around, stretch or exercise, or even just take a break from the couch.

Actually Washable

The first time I saw this mat’s super cute cream and colored polka dot design covered in markers, I was frazzled. But, I quickly realized that the washable fabric is actually completely washable. A wet cloth, especially with a small amount of dish soap, makes it so easy to wipe off the mat that a young kid could do it themselves. The fun designs themselves also hide dirt quite well, so you don’t have to clean it daily or after each use from an aesthetic standpoint. 

Doubles as a Fun “Rug” for the Whole Family

If you have hardwood or laminate floors, rather than carpet, you might know that getting onto the ground to play with kids can make you realize your age — achy joints and all. So, this mat increases accessibility whether you are a grandma, or just want to be more comfortable laying or sitting on the ground. The designs, from checkers to floral, have color schemes that make them an interesting addition to the design of any room, and can even replace area rugs as a more functional product.

High-Quality Padding and Support

This mat is ready and equipped for your kids flips, rolls, and other “fancy moves” as my own five kids call them. The padding is firm but soft at the same time, so kids don’t sink down too far when they step on the mat. Anyone who has taught a preschooler a cartwheel in the living room can attest to the fact that they need some cushion for their fall, but also need firm support. The company attributes this to “multiple layers of memory foam,” which is probably why I just want to lay on it on the ground as a parent too.

In My Expert Opinion

If you want a foldable, washable, high-quality tumbling mat for your kids, this is an excellent option. You’ll likely find yourself using it for other things too, from stretching to playing on the ground alongside them.
