Our play mats can’t be beaten.

The Sahara Play Mat is part of our unique collection of designer play mats. Revive your space with a dose of warmth and character! Inspired by designs around the world, this gorgeous earthy mat adds a layer of splendour to any space.

We especially like the way the transition of colours blend between the mat and wooden/rattan pieces, as the colours combined with the geometry brings a well-travelled sensibility to space. Desert chic bringing a big parade of earthy colours designed to look beautiful wherever they go.

And when we say “safe play without compromise” we mean it! Compromising goes both ways. So, we have crafted a stylish side that respects parents, and when you flip the play (!!) mat over, you will treasure a fun, minimal and playful map for the whole family to enjoy. It is called The Ocean Road and it marks the inaugural occasion where I allowed my 3-year-old to actively shape the whimsical design. I inquired about his preferences, and together, we pored over the Pantone book, with him even selecting the colours he desired. I found it delightful to have a child's input in determining the playful appearance of the fun side.

Despite a few non-negotiables, such as maintaining a minimalist design to encourage imaginative play, providing ample land space for children to construct their desired environments, and including elements like roads, water, and train tracks, I was committed to preserving an open area. I truly believe that leaving some space unadorned fosters creativity. When every detail, like trees and houses, is illustrated on the play mat, it leaves little room for the imagination to roam free.

I must confess, allowing my three-year-old to contribute to the decisions was quite daunting for me. I likely would have made different choices, so listening to him and accepting his preferences added an unexpectedly magical dimension to the entire process. Observing his imagination take flight, witnessing his thought process unfold, the joyous smiles, meticulous planning, and hours of sheer delight have rendered this experience truly enchanting. May your little loves encounter a similar magical journey on this play mat.

We hope you love it as much as we do.

Please note actual colours may vary. It’s important to note that they may look different on a real product than what you see on your computer monitor. This is because every computer monitor has a different capability to display colours and that everyone sees these colours differently. We try to edit our photos to show the products as life-like as possible, also adding a large variety of photos for each product.

Every Rugabub Play Mat undergoes manual printing, resulting in a unique repeat pattern for each mat. Therefore, if you buy multiple play mats, they are unlikely to match perfectly. Nonetheless, they still complement each other beautifully when placed side by side.

Before First Use

Play Mat Care Guide

Our play mats are made out of premium quality memory foam. As such, after unboxing your Rugabub play mat, it may need some time to relax, settle and adjust to its designed form. You can speed this process up by rolling the play mat in the opposite direction, re-strapping and placing it back into the box for a night or two.

Rugabub play mats come with 2 velcro straps. Ensure you hold on to them as they are so convenient for moving, storing or transporting.

Wipe clean with a soapy cloth or mild detergent and let dry before flipping over.

Make sure that the play mat is on a dry surface.

Avoid the use of harsh detergents, oils (such as citrus, eucalyptus and essential oils), alcohol, bleach or grainy cleaners (such as Jif or Gumption) as they may discolour, fade or cause damage to the top coating. Some other natural spray agents can damage your play mat too.

We suggest cleaning the play mat with a mild detergent that is not alcoholic or acidic (including wet wipes).

All spills must be wiped clean immediately including poop, vomit & urine as they may cause stains and even fade due to the acidity.

Overtime, you may notice minor discolouring of the play mats. Sunlight, improper cleaning and exposure to high temperatures are the main causes.

Our play mats are intended to be used on a smooth surface. Sharp objects may puncture, tear or graze the outer layer.

Heavy objects are not to be placed on the play mat for long periods of time, as they will cause irreparable damage.

Pens, crayons, permanent markers, paints and textas can easily permanently mark the play mat and need to be avoided.

Avoid hot properties such as heaters, fire-places, hot liquid etc…

Our play mats are intended for indoor use, however, should all precautions be met, and for short periods of time, they can also be enjoyed outdoors. Please make sure you choose a shaded and protected spot with a smooth surface.

We love all furry friends big and small, however pets can cause damage with sharp claws and teeth.

Avoid steam cleaning.

Avoid vacuuming.

Our play mats are made without any toxic plasticisers and chemical/colour stabilisers. The heat-sealing process may cause a slight discolouring of the outer edges of the play mat. This is not a fault but a feature of the premium quality and material that we use.

Warranty is invalid if the faults are caused by improper use of the play mats or failure to respect the cleaning and care instructions.

Please let dry after wiping clean, as this can cause a slip hazard.

Please allow the play mat to flatten as suggested above to avoid a trip hazard.

A Few More Questions You Might Have About The Best Play Mats:

When creating Rugabub Play Mats, our primary goal was to offer a secure and non-toxic play mats, completely free from harmful substances. Our luxe foam padded baby play mats are crafted from TPU and proudly hold certification for being non-toxic.

Rugabub Play Mats not only meet but exceed Australian safety standards and successfully comply with European EN71-3 Toy Standards, ensuring the utmost quality and safety. As parents, our commitment to providing the best for our children and the environment led us to choose TPU (polyurethane) over the subpar PVC (poly-vinyl chloride). This decision was driven by our desire to leave a healthier world for future generations.

TPU, developed as a safer alternative to PVC, eliminates hazardous chemicals such as lead, mercury, formamide, cadmium, PBP’s, and PBDE’s. Unlike PVC, which contains harmful additives like phthalates, lead, cadmium, and organotins, TPU proves to be a non-toxic and safe material suitable for various applications, including biomedical uses.

Our play mats, devoid of plasticizers or chemical/color stabilizers, not only ensure the safety of our little ones but also contribute positively to the environment. Additionally, the use of PU allows for the creation of durable mats that can withstand years of use. While these play mats do require special care, you can find detailed instructions in each product description or FAQ section.

Once TPU Polyurethane is composted, it undergoes biodegradation within 3 to 5 years.

TPU was specifically developed as a safer substitute for PVC. Unlike PVC, which contains hazardous chemical additives such as phthalates, lead, cadmium, and organotins, posing potential health risks to you and your child, TPU is non-toxic and deemed safe for various applications, including biomedical uses. Our luxe foam padded baby play mats, craftedwithoutplasticisers or chemical/color stabilizers, ensure the safety of both our little ones and the environment. Notably, TPU's biodegradable nature makes it a planet-friendly choice.

While our play mats require special care, detailed instructions can be found in each product description or FAQ section.

Our goal is to offer affordable and swift shipping based on your delivery location, and we have subsidized a significant portion of the shipping costs.

Recent increases in shipping rates by 7.8%, along with additional charges such as an extraordinary fuel surcharge and a $15 length surcharge per box, have compelled us to address the situation. Despite these challenges, we have refrained from raising our play mat prices for over three years, aiming to maintain affordability for parents.

Amazing play mat!!

The large Sahara play mat is soft, durable and is just the right size. I love how it's double sided (the ocean road side will be great for when my child gets older) and how it doesn't even look like a play mat! I also love that it's also non-toxic - having peace of mind that my child is safe is invaluable and puts me at ease.

Beautiful rug water and children resistant.
