Looking for large playmat for hard floors

My little girl is rolling and starting to push up but is struggling to crawl because the only floor mat things we have slip on the floor and are too small. I've got two mats that were fine when she was little and just needed tummy time but they're too thin on tiled floors and when she tries to move they just slip under her so she can't get any purchase to move.

They're also too small, I started putting an old double duvet on the floor for her to play on but that's slippy too.

All the playmats I look at online seem thin, like they'd slide on hard floors or too small - ideally I'd like at least 100-150cm.

Would those hard foam tiles that interlock be suitable? They seem quite hard still when I look at them. Our floors are a mixture of tile, laminate and hard wood, too cold and hard to play on.

I got a huge one from ikea quite reasonable price too but not thick- maybe mothercare have a bigger range?

The foam interlocking tiles are great.

Ooh, I hadn't thought of ikea, thanks!

Sweep, that's good to know, I have been in two minds about them.

Thank you both.

We used the big foam interlocking tiles too. They covered a big area and were ideal for tumbling on. DS was really safe. We used to make up messages for his dad (had the ABC ones).
