Baby Play Mat Collection for Tummy Time & Development
A Baby Play Mat is a cushioned, non-toxic floor covering designed to provide a safe and hygienic surface for your infant's motor development, specifically during tummy time and crawling stages. Unlike standard carpets, these dedicated mats offer specialized padding to protect delicate knees and hands from hard surfaces while providing a designated zone for sensory play and bonding.
Our collection is thoughtfully curated for the Australian lifestyle, featuring materials that are perfect for our unique climate. Crafted from breathable, organic cotton with a soft padded filling, each mat ensures your little one stays cool in summer while staying insulated from cold floorboards in winter. Whether you are looking for a Baby Lounger or Nest to create a cozy resting spot or a spacious floor mat for active play, our designs blend functionality with aesthetic appeal.
We understand that Australian homes often feature open-plan living with tile or hardwood flooring, which can be unforgiving for new crawlers. That is why our mats are designed with sufficient density to absorb impact without being bulky. From adorable animal shapes like the Hathi Elephant to nature-inspired leaf designs, these mats serve as both a developmental tool and a stylish Nursery Floor Rug. For a complete sensory experience, pair your mat with one of our engaging Cot Mobiles to encourage visual tracking while your baby enjoys their time on the floor.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a padded baby play mat safe for newborns?
Yes, our mats are designed to meet strict safety standards when used as directed. They provide a clean, soft surface for newborns to lie on and observe their surroundings. However, for safety compliance, you must always ensure active supervision during use and never place the mat on a raised surface.
Are these mats machine washable for easy cleaning?
Absolutely. We know that life with a baby can be messy, so we have ensured that every machine washable baby play mat in our range can be easily laundered. Simply use a gentle cycle with mild detergent to keep it fresh and hygienic for daily use.
Why is a cotton play mat better than foam?
Cotton offers superior breathability and is a natural, non-toxic material that is gentle against a baby's sensitive skin. Unlike some synthetic foam mats that can trap heat or off-gas, our cotton mats provide a natural, hypoallergenic surface that is perfect for the Australian climate.
