Care Instructions

To keep your play mat looking its best, wipe away everyday spills with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild detergent. Allow it to air dry naturally, away from direct heat and direct sunlight.

For a deeper clean, hand wash the play mat in cold water using a wool-approved detergent. Gently remove excess water by rolling it in a dry towel (do not wring), then lay flat to air dry. Do not tumble dry. The play gym poles can be spot cleaned with a damp cloth.

Safety: Always use under adult supervision. This play mat is designed for play only and should not be used as a bed.

Frequently asked questions

When can I start using my baby play mat + how long can I use it for?

Our baby play mats are suitable from birth, providing a soft, supportive space for tummy time, play, and early development from the day you bring your baby home. As your little one grows, the raised edges help create a defined play space during supervised play.

Once your child outgrows the play gym (typically around 14–16 months), simply remove the arches to continue using it as a generously padded play mat. It's perfect for toddlers to read, play with toys, relax, and enjoy for years to come.

Where should I place my baby play mat?

Your play mat is designed to fit beautifully into your home, so it's perfect for everyday use in your living room, nursery, or any other family space. Always place the play mat on a flat, stable floor surface- never on a raised surface such as a bed, sofa, or table. For your baby's safety, keep the mat away from furniture with sharp corners, blind cords, electrical cables, and other potential hazards. Always use the play mat under adult supervision.

Why is floor time important for my baby?

Floor time gives your baby the freedom to move, stretch, and explore naturally. It helps build strength in their neck, shoulders, arms, and core while supporting important developmental milestones such as rolling, sitting, crawling, and eventually walking.

Regular supervised floor time also encourages sensory exploration, coordination, and independent play. Even a few short sessions each day can make a meaningful difference to your baby's development.

Why does fabric choice matter for babies?

A baby's skin is delicate and more sensitive than an adult's, making fabric choice especially important. Natural fibres like cotton and linen are soft, breathable, and help regulate body temperature by allowing air to circulate and moisture to escape. This can help reduce the risk of overheating and skin irritation.

Choosing high-quality natural fabrics creates a comfortable, gentle environment for your baby during play, tummy time, and everyday use.

How do I wash my baby play mat?

Our baby play mats are easy to care for. Simply remove the play gym poles before cleaning. Spot clean everyday spills with a damp cloth and mild detergent as needed.

For a deeper clean, hand wash the play mat in cold water using a gentle, wool-approved detergent. Gently remove excess water by rolling it in a dry towel- do not wring. Lay the mat flat to air dry, away from direct heat and sunlight. Do not tumble dry.

The perfect play mat

I wanted my living room to look like us and not a toy store exploded. So if you (like me) get actual anxiety at the thought of bright rainbow toys taking over your living room then this play mat is for you. I spent way too long searching for the perfect play mat and I am so glad i didn't settle. This one is elegant, understated, and doesn't scream "baby aisle" the second you walk in. if you feel the same way about keeping things chic, trust me on this one! My husband and I were saying how lovely it is to find good quality products - it's so rare these days. These are beautiful and the quality is amazing.

A beautiful investment 🤎

We absolutely love our playmat. It’s been part of our everyday life since our little girl was born.

In those early newborn days, it was perfect for tummy time, soft, comforting, and visually engaging with the hanging toys above. As she grew, we watched her begin to reach, grasp, and play, then roll from her back to her tummy, move into sitting, and now, almost one it’s become the sweetest little reading nook cushion in her bedroom.

We’ve added fairy lights and soft layers over time to keep the space evolving, and the quality has truly held up through it all.

It’s been such a worthwhile investment. We still use the soft hanging pieces together as part of loose play, which she continues to enjoy in new ways.

I already know this will be something we bring out again for baby number two 🤍
