How to use this comparison

Origin is one signal, not the whole answer — material identity, construction, cleaning, documentation, returns, and warranty matter too. Ask any brand for the current records behind broad safety or non-toxic claims, and check that report scope covers the product you're buying.

The same five questions, asked of any brand

  1. What is the stated construction? Foam core and surface film, named separately — not just a family name such as “EVA” or “TPU”.
  2. Which report covers the finished mat? A report number, the laboratory, and the date — and whether the sample was the finished construction or one raw material.
  3. What was tested and what was the limit? “Not detected” means something only next to the reporting limit.
  4. Which thickness does a fall-height figure apply to? A result for one tier does not transfer to another.
  5. What happens when one piece is damaged? Spare tiles, warranty length, and the return window, taken from the current policy page.
