{"title":"Thick Play Mats","description":"\u003cp\u003eMost play mats are between 0.4 and 0.6 inches thick. That is enough to take the chill off a cold floor, but it is not enough to meaningfully cushion a fall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePocoKoko mats are 1.3 inches thick — approximately three times the industry average. But thickness alone is not the story. What matters is what the thickness is made of.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur 1.3 inches are CertiPUR-US certified viscoelastic memory foam: the same slow-rebound material used in hospital pressure-relief surfaces. When your baby falls, the foam compresses gradually and absorbs the impact energy rather than bouncing it back. This is measurably different from thick EVA foam, which is firm and springy regardless of how thick it is.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe practical difference shows up in the moments that matter. A baby toppling backward while learning to sit. A toddler tripping mid-run. A crawler face-planting during an enthusiastic lunge. In each case, the extra thickness and the slow-rebound characteristic of memory foam provide meaningful impact protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs 1.3 inches too thick? Will it be a tripping hazard?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nNo. The beveled edges create a gentle transition from floor to mat. The mat sits low enough that crawling babies and walking toddlers navigate the edge easily.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes thicker foam mean the mat is harder to roll up?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe mat rolls compactly despite its thickness. Memory foam compresses well, and the mat stays tightly rolled for storage or transport.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does 1.3\" memory foam compare to 1\" EVA foam?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nMemory foam absorbs impact progressively while EVA bounces back. Even at the same thickness, memory foam provides better fall protection. At 1.3 inches vs typical 0.4-0.6 inch EVA mats, the difference is substantial. \u003ca href=\"\/es\/blogs\/journal\/memory-foam-vs-eva-play-mat\"\u003eFull comparison →\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e→ \u003cem\u003eWorried about thin mats?
