Our Foam Padded Baby Play Mats are reversible (double-sided) – with detailed consideration put into both sides of the design. Not only will the designs brighten interiors with colour and pattern, but they will also be stimulating and engaging no matter what side you pick.
If your luxe padded foam play mat has the Ocean Road Play Mat design as the reversed side, please read all about the minimal design here.
You will notice the skill in every shape, colour and visual texture on the luxe foam padded play mat and the amount of effort put into it all. We know that engagement with images, textures and patterns boosts infants learning and facilitates a better understanding of their environment. Also, visual stimulation is one of the best ways to extend tummy time. Tummy time is very important for baby’s development from day one, as it strengthens babies’ back and chest muscles, preparing them for rolling over and crawling.

Large Paloma/ Ocean Road Play Mat
- Unit price
- /per
Colour: Dark Brown, wheat & ivory.
Australia’s award-winning soft foam padded play mats are the best, safest, eco friendly, waterproof play mats available for your baby. Perfect as a nursery rug and as a tummy time play mat.
An incredibly plush, safe & durable play mat for the whole family to enjoy for years. As we endeavour to bring the finest quality, skill and artistry to every play mat we offer, rest assured that we have meticulously designed every aspect of this play mat to ensure you get the best in the market.
Our play mats can’t be beaten.
Inspired by traditional Persian designs, the Paloma Play Mat is an extraordinary neutral to ground any room in your home. For a remarkable backdrop, tri-colour patterns of dark brown, wheat and ivory create a beautiful gradient, crafting a soothingly distressed effect that adds both warmth and character.
Subtle and vivid at once, it’s a solid foundation for any colour palette you vision. The tonal neutral variations and the Persian motif dial up visual interest. The more you look at it, the more magnificent it gets.
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.
Our luxe foam padded baby 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. We recommend unboxing and allowing the mat to settle as soon as you receive it, as leaving it rolled in the box for too long may cause it to retain its rolled shape for longer due to the premium memory foam material. You can speed up the settling process 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.

Rugabub Play Mats are designed to look stylish and chic and have a faded or distressed effect added to them so that they look like rugs. This is part of the design and is not a fault.

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.

On our second Rugabub play mat and can't fault them. Still spongy after two years. Great designs too. Perfect play mat for little ones as spills can be wiped easily. Highly recommend
Really goodlooking, and perfect for yoga. Also great for what it's intended for- my son loves it for play and gymnastics. Fantastic customer service and surprisingly fast shipping all the way to Denmark. Thanks!
It’s perfect for our living room, blends well with everything else aesthetically. And perfect for bub- I was considering more fabric type mats but glad I chose Rugubab instead. My baby slobbers all over it, and it would have been a nightmare to clean if we had a fabric rug instead. We just wipe the Rugabub and it’s all good!
