Product Details
We designed our play mats with the safety of our children and of our planet in mind. They are made of cork and rubber:
- Cork is a biodegradable resource that comes from the bark of the cork tree. It is rapidly renewable and sustainably collected. Cork is also naturally antimicrobial, requiring only gentle periodic cleaning to keep your child safe. It is also non-toxic, hypoallergenic, stain resistant, slip-resistant, anti-static, and flame retardant. It also makes for a great play mat because it is a thermal and acoustic insulator, holding heat and minimizing sound. Cork is able to last a long time because it is impermeable to liquids and practically impermeable to gases, thanks to the composition of cork cells. Its resistance to moisture allows it to grow old without deteriorating.
- Natural rubber is also a biodegradable resource that comes from the sap of the rubber tree. It has a higher tensile strength than synthetic rubber, making it a durable material for the base of our play mats that is slip-resistant on hard surfaces.
- Our mat is free of plastics, chemicals, and TPE. There are no synthetic foam parts to our mats, and so they do not off gas chemicals when they arrive in your home.
Our play mats are 6mm thick, providing a soft but firm and safe surface for your child to enjoy.
