How to Measure Your Space for a Mat

Quick answer: To measure for a mat, clear the area, measure the usable length and width in inches, and leave a small border so walls, furniture, and door swings do not crowd the edges. Then compare your numbers with the current PopsyKosy size options before choosing a layout.

Measure the usable zone

Measure the area you actually want to cover, not necessarily the whole room. Note furniture legs, vents, doors, wall trim, and walkways.

Leave room around the edges

A small margin helps the mat sit neatly and makes cleaning around the room easier. If your space is unusual, compare standard sizes with Build Your Floor options.
