Linen Label Play Mat

Most play mats are bright foam and plastic, and they look like play mats. The Linen Label Round Play Mat is padded linen in a muted print, so it can stay out in the living room without dominating it.

Round suits a baby who is rolling and pivoting rather than travelling in a straight line, and there are no corners to curl up.

Features

• Padded pure linen. Soft underneath, and breathable rather than sweaty like foam.
• Round shape. No corners to lift or trip on, and it suits rolling and pivoting.
• Printed linen face. Muted prints that sit in a living room rather than shouting at it.
• Machine washable. Which you will need.
• Two prints — Denim Blue and Opal Sage.
• Designed in Australia.

Why parents love it

The honest appeal is that it does not have to be packed away when someone visits. Foam mats get hidden; this one gets left out, which means tummy time actually happens because the mat is already on the floor.

Linen also handles a warm room better than foam, which gets clammy under a baby within minutes.

FAQs

Is it padded enough for a hard floor?
Yes, it is a padded mat rather than a flat blanket, so it suits floorboards and tiles. For crawling and pulling-to-stand you may want a rug underneath as well.

Can my baby sleep on it?
No. Play mats are for supervised play. If your baby falls asleep, move them to a cot or bassinet.

Round or square?
Round suits the rolling and pivoting stage and has no corners to curl. Square gives you more usable area for a mobile baby and fits a corner better.

Does it wash well?
Yes, cold gentle machine wash. Linen creases when it comes out; it settles flat again once it is on the floor.
