“Although we loved the play mat the colour was not right. The returns process was then an absolute nightmare. I could only get a response via Instagram not email, I had to pay through the roof for returns and there were multiple issues with getting my money back.”

“Beautiful play mat, it's really soft and my son absolutely loves it. Not only does it look good in the house, its revolutionised tummy time! My son used to last a couple of minutes per try before getting cross but this is obviously much more comfortable because he was immediately doing 15+ minutes per try. It also comes packaged with little soft velcro strips to keep it rolled up which are really handy if you plan on taking it out - I'll be taking it to my son's grandparents house so he can enjoy it there too! I saw these mats at a baby show when I was pregnant and thought it would only be useful when my son was older and sitting/crawling but I should have got one sooner - it's so useful! Thanks for an excellent product munchkin and bear!”

“We love the mat as a safe space for floor play for baby and it looks nice in the living room too. The one down side is that the surface is slippery if baby is clothed so he finds rolling and sitting up difficult unless in his nappy only.”

Thank you for your feedback, what a flashback to my little ones and their early days of moving! If they aren't quite getting their grip yet as they learn to roll and move around on the mat then popping their socks off or using some with the grip prints can help, but rest assured they will get the hang of it.

“I have had the mat 2 weeks now. Pros: Can play on the mat immediately Arrived within 3 days of ordering Cute designs Waterproof I wasn’t expecting it to feel like memory foam as I don’t think it states anywhere on the website what it’s made of (or I missed that ) lovely feel and a good cushion for our incredibly hard flooring. By the morning it was perfectly flat, to be fair it was very flat even ok opening. We love the little motto card inside, now stuck on our wall! Fairly slip proof, May use an underlay when both children are running around to avoid any slip injuries. Cons: I actually wish it was bigger. Pricey (but currently one of the cheapest of this style on the market). Can be a pain to clean as things can get inbetween the raised pattern E.g. dried liquids. Wish the quirkier designs were in stock more often as I needed this quickly - would have preferred the other designs that are always on pre order. Overs I’m very pleased. It’s wonderfully soft (much more than I expected!) and my two rough children haven’t pierced/broken it.. yet. Hopefully it will last a good couple of years as a minimum”

Thank you so much for your feedback on your play mat :) the squish is a pretty good perk!! You raised a couple of great points so a couple of thoughts from us: - If you do want to lock it in place for those speedy little runners then we'd suggest you stick it down either double sided carpet tape on a couple of edges/ corners or a standard anti slip rug (we like the open criss-cross types) will work a treat - we would love to make it bigger (factory equipment & then how to ship it to you are holding us back!) it is possible to pop 2 alongside each other (the heat-sealed edges can overlap so very little area without the padding / full foam thickness - dried liquids, if you pop a damp cloth on the area for about 20-30 seconds then wipe away that normally does the trick to lift anything that has dried (especially in this heat!) - we are working on getting more stock in to try and keep all our designs available as much as we can! enjoy the play time!

“Here are The Practical Child we love our play mat. As experts in child development we feel a large mat like this is so helpful for little ones learning to move. Exploring movement and even experiencing falling is a vital part of child development and mastering new skills such as sitting and crawling. This mat is super soft and squidgy meaning they can explore those new skills safely.”

“I adore this play mat, it is everything it says it is and more. My husband and I have spent so much time on the floor with our baby and he is only 3 months old, the surface of it has encouraged our son to wiggle and find his feet. Plus it looks great in our lounge.”

“We bought this mat for our boy with additional needs when he was a baby. He's now 2 and has done hours and hours of conductive education on this mat in comfort. I feel reassured he is safe on it during play. When he was learning to sit he had many many topples on it and I felt happy he wouldn't harm his VP shunt that he has for hydrocephalus. The mat is so comfortable and easy to clean. We all really like it. My eldest son thinks it makes a fantastic wrestling ring and pokemon battle arena. We received great customer service when we unfortunately got a stain on the mat. We were unable to remove it but the support and advise was great. We're currently in the process of planning renovations and when we're complete we'll certainly be ordering more.”

Keeping little ones safe is so important to us, and I'm so pleased that your padded playmat has played a positive role in your family life with your son facing additional challenges in his learning & development journey 💙 Sorry the tips to try and remove the stain didn't work for you, bicarb paste especially is rarely beaten, but so glad the team were helpful. Excited for your renovations - best of luck!
