Is this mat firm and not squishy? My grandaughter doesn't want to feel the floor when she does flips.

The mat is firm and offers great protection. It is a very high quality mat that has works very well for tumbling at home.

It's firm but still soft enough for tumbling. Both my girls use it to practice back handsprings, etc. They love it and it has held up great!

My daughter loves her mat she uses it all the time in her room and she brings it outside. Good buy! It is a firm mat!

Yes it sure is my Granddaughter just loves it. It is close to floor and stays in one place. No high falls so no getting hurt. Great for beginners. My Granddaughter is 9.

Unfortunately the mattress is not firm. But we placed blankets down and swaddle her. She is now 4 months and just moving out of bassinet. I love it and think it's worth the money. My parents didn't like it because they wanted something bigger. But it's easy to move and place next to bed because of the height

Maybe. I don't know if it is the same thickness as a gym mat. If the child was not doing aggressive tumbling and it was on carpet it might be ok. It is a little over 1/4inch thick if I remember correctly.

I can only tell you that my granddaughter didn't sink down into the mattress. It feels firm...maybe you got a defective mattress. I would look into that.

Yes, very firm. Having now noticed the other three answers . . . I guess it depends upon how much you weigh and what type of exercises you are doing with it. I use it for back exercises and I am of average weight for my size so for me, the firmness and cushioning are perfect. I love the mat and bought a second one for my daughter (who doesn't live at home anymore). She loves hers as well.

I have the mat on carpet and it does not wobble. My carpet is of normal thickness.

My brother owns these mats and in my opinion the are sturdy and hard. Good to protect you floor and equipment, but jumping around on them does not give much comfort, because they are hard, firm and don't give.

It is very light. If she needs to balance herself I would say no. But it is very easy to push to get around. I love mine. I use it a lot

There is Velcro on back side of mat so it stays in place better on carpet. My daughter has not done a back flip on it. It is a very nice mat.

Yes, it is firm but that is what I wanted. It is still very comfortable though in my opinion. I didn't want a squishy couch but I am still able to sleep on it. No it really hasn't softened up in 6 months. Hope this helps.

I would say yes as well. But with my LO she flips around the mat anyways and is usually completely crooked or 180'd by the time she's done playing so it doesn't matter too much. The piano portion was good when she was smaller and less mobile with rolling.

My granddaughter's is on carpet and it doesn't move at all. Their carpet is a low plush but the base stays put very well.

My 2 year old granddaughter made it bounce a little. She can rock back and forth. She does not live near me, but I understand she can get on it and is happy with it. As she gets bigger I am sure it will have more bounce. She is light weight for her age.

I have the one that is rated at 5.5 pounds density and it is very firm. I'm a big gal and I don't "sink" into it. I would think a softer density would be better for a child, but honestly don't know.
