Mikmel Fold is a foldable play mat made from foamed PE, available in three sizes — and each size has its own thickness. The 120×180 cm mat is 8 mm thick, while both the 150×180 cm and 180×200 cm mats are 1 cm thick; the largest, 180×200 cm, also has bound edges for extra durability.
What Fold is made of
Fold is made from foamed PE (closed-cell foam) — a lightweight, resilient material that folds flat without cracking and holds its shape after repeated folding. It's designed for both indoor and outdoor use.
Choosing a size
- 120×180 cm, 8 mm thick — the most compact option. Easiest to fold down and carry, so it works well as a secondary mat or one that travels between rooms or homes (grandparents, holidays).
- 150×180 cm, 1 cm thick — a mid-size mat with extra cushioning, for a dedicated play area in an average-size room.
- 180×200 cm, 1 cm thick, bound edges — the largest option, with a stitched edge that resists fraying under daily use. Suited to a bigger room or a household with more than one child sharing the same play space.
Why the edge binding matters
On the 180×200 cm mat, the edge is bound rather than left as a raw cut of foam. A bound edge holds up better to repeated folding, crawling, and general daily wear — worth considering if the mat is going to be the household's main, everyday play surface rather than an occasional one.
Indoor and outdoor use
Because foamed PE doesn't absorb liquid, Fold can be used outside — on a terrace, in a garden, or anywhere a soft, easy-to-clean surface is useful beyond the living room.
