Agnes Cotton Play Mat - Cream

This is a round play mat, 100cm across, quilted in rings that spread out from its centre like ripples on a pond. The cover is a cream mix of 80% cotton and 20% polyester over a filling of 100% polyester. That gives a soft, cushioned layer between your little one and the floor, and the mat stays light at 0.4KG. Around the rings sit fabric figures: a round fruit with a leaf, a pear, a rainbow, a bird, a sun and a mushroom. Several stand slightly proud of the mat, either padded or with loose flaps such as the bird's wings. The mushroom cap has a looped, nubbly texture that feels quite different from the smooth cotton beside it.

It is made for floor play in a nursery, a bedroom or the living room, giving your child a clean, soft place to lie and play. The figures give small hands and curious eyes something to grasp and feel, and the change from smooth cotton to raised, textured shapes invites touching. At 100cm across there is space for a child to stretch and roll, with room for a few favourite toys as well. Because it weighs so little, it is easy to fold and carry from room to room, so play can follow you through the day.

The rings are quilted with even lines of stitching, and each figure is stitched to the cover, some flat and some raised. Care is straightforward: it goes in the washing machine at 40 degrees, tumble dries on a low setting and takes a medium iron, so it is easy to keep fresh. Cotton is soft and breathable against the skin, and the cream base sits happily with muted nursery colours, natural rattan and pale wood. For a ready play spot, lay it on a rug or a wooden floor and set a low basket of soft toys at its edge.
