Abstract: A protective placemat for providing protection against injury against edges of a table. The protective placemat includes a platform. The protective placemat includes a bumper region positioned at one end of the platform. The protective placemat includes loops at the second end of the platform, opposite the bumper region. When the protective placemat is placed on top of the table, the bumper region is positioned over and across one edge of the table. This positioning provides safety to an individual at a table because instead of a person's head accidentally coming in contact with the edge of the table, the bumper region provides cushioning to prevent the individual from getting injured on the sharp edge of the table. The platform rolls up such that the loops encircle the rolled-up platform and secure the platform in a rolled-up configuration for easy transport.
