Having a baby is one of life’s greatest milestones, and many people try to optimize the experience by carefully planning for their bundle of joy. Every detail should be baby-friendly—from the crib, to the paint, to the nursery flooring.

If you’re not sure what material to choose for your baby's nursery floor, consider the following factors:

  • Comfort: Some people choose carpet because it is soft and comfortable. However, this flooring traps dust mites, and it’s not the easiest material to clean. An excellent alternative to carpet is laminate. This flooring is easy to clean but offers comparable comfort. Laminate is typically made from thick panels of softwood and a foam underlayer—which can be added during installation for insulation purposes. The material is also relatively quiet to walk on, which means you’re less likely to wake a sleeping baby when entering or leaving the room.
  • Cleanliness: Babies spend a lot of time crawling on the floor, which can expose them to plenty of dirt and allergens. As such, it’s important to choose flooring that’s easy to maintain. While hardwood, vinyl tiles and laminate are great for maintaining a hygienic, baby-friendly floor, cork may be an even better option. This material is eco-friendly and does not emit volatile organic compounds. It also has anti-allergenic and antimicrobial properties. 
  • flooringBeyond: Before you know it, your baby will have outgrown their nursery, and you’ll need a play area for your tumbling toddler. In this case, foam and rubber flooring mats are durable, easy to clean, and waterproof. The mats are also shock-absorbent and will cushion your child’s fall. As your little one gets older and the protection is no longer required, the interlocking tiles are easy to disassemble.
