Little Landings Play Mat Safety — Materials, Certifications & Warnings
Little Landings play mats are made from premium EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate) foam — independently tested and SGS-certified non-toxic, and rated safe for children aged 0+. This page covers our materials, what we've tested for, age suitability, care instructions, and required safety warnings.
What Little Landings mats are made from:
Every Little Landings play mat consists of two components: interlocking EVA foam tiles and a printed top film layer. EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate) is a lightweight, closed-cell foam widely used in premium athletic footwear, orthotics, and children's products. It is soft enough to cushion falls, firm enough to support infant development, and — in Little Landings' independently verified formulation — free of detectable lead and all 8 regulated phthalates.
What SGS testing confirmed:
— Lead content: 8.78–9.96 mg/kg (legal limit: 100 mg/kg — our mats test at under 10% of the limit)
— Phthalates: all 8 regulated phthalates non-detectable (DEHP, DBP, BBP, DIBP, DPENP, DHEXP, DCHP, DINP)
— California Proposition 65: passed for both lead and phthalates
Full certification details are available on our Trust & Credentials page.

Cleaning & care
Wipe clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not submerge tiles in water. Do not use abrasive cleaners, bleach, or solvent-based products — these can damage the foam surface and printed film layer. Allow to air dry fully before reassembling. Tiles may be separated for cleaning and reassembled without tools.
