About
Works at the intersection of movement and home; tests mats on concrete, tile, and old hardwood.
Core Beliefs
Comfort is measurable—the right support keeps play inviting and safe.
Background
Knees on tile, I crawled beside our daughter to feel every seam. The mat that looked plush bottomed out on grout lines. Another, thinner one spread impact better and stayed put when she pulled up. Comfort turned out to be distribution, not just thickness numbers.
Perspective
I lean toward firmer, more stable setups over ultra-soft sinky foam.
