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.
