Play Mat

The Play Mat features three main pieces, all made of safe, non-toxic materials you can trust.

The Play Mat’s foam core is made from latex foam (sourced from natural rubber trees) and enclosed in a soft layer of cotton. The waterproof cover features an ultra-thin waterproof barrier of TPU sandwiched between two soft cotton layers, protecting the latex core from any spills or accidents. Featuring a two-sided design, the adorable outer cover is made of 100% GOTS Organic Cotton so your baby plays on only the safest of materials.

Our Play Mats do not use vinyl, phthalates, perfluorinated compounds (PFCs), polyurethane foam, EVA, formamide, or other harmful chemicals commonly found in baby mats. We are 100% committed to chemical safety.

We don't treat our play mats with any "protective" coatings (water resistance, stain repellent, etc.) — this avoids your baby coming in direct contact with harmful chemicals. No questionable waterproofing materials like vinyl, PVC, phthalates, or butane rubber.

Yes! Both the outer and inner (waterproof) covers are machine washable.

Babies can use a play mat from birth, especially for supervised tummy time. Around 3 months, they start to enjoy it more as they lift their heads, reach for toys, and interact more. A play mat gives babies a safe, comfortable space to build strength and develop motor skills through play.

Our Play Mat can be used from 0+ months. Designed to provide just the right amount of cushioning for tummy time, crawling, exploring, and active play. Foster your child's creativity and exploration from the earliest months. As your child grows, they can enjoy the Play Mat for playing with blocks, reading, or practicing somersaults. Parents may even find use for the Play Mat for stretching or practicing yoga.

The Piccalio Play Mat includes the latex core, a waterproof cover, an organic cotton outer cover, and a cotton tote. All covers are machine washable for easy cleaning.

The best play mat for a baby is one made from non-toxic materials (free of BPA, phthalates and harsh fire-retardants) and featuring a firm-but-soft surface. Choose moderate thickness for comfort during tummy time and rolling. It should also be easy to clean, and big enough for your baby as they grow. Piccalio’s Play Mat has a GOTS-certified organic cotton cover and is made of safe, natural rubber instead of foam materials traditionally used for play mats.

A play mat isn’t strictly necessary, but it’s a great addition to your baby’s development. It provides a clean, padded space for tummy time, rolling, and exploring toys. Play mats also encourage sensory and motor skill growth while keeping your baby comfortable and engaged.

Yes, baby play mats are safe for newborns when used properly. Choose one made from non-toxic, hypoallergenic materials and a firm, yet comfortable surface. Always supervise your baby when they’re using the play mat for tummy time and early motor skill development.
