Frequently Asked Questions
Everything parents ask before they buy — answered honestly.
Are Little Landings play mats non-toxic and safe for babies?
Yes. All Little Landings play mats are made from non-toxic, BPA-free, phthalate-free, and formaldehyde-free EVA foam. They meet or exceed ASTM F963 toy safety standards and are CPSC-compliant — safe for babies, toddlers, and pets. No PVC, no harsh chemical off-gassing.
Every mat is independently tested by SGS, the world's leading inspection and certification body. Our lead levels test at under 10% of the legal limit, and all 8 regulated phthalates are non-detectable. View our full certifications and SGS test reports
What size Little Landings play mat do I need?
Choose based on your space and baby's stage:
- Small (4×4 ft) — Perfect for newborns, tummy time, or tighter spaces.
- Medium (6×6 ft) — Great for crawlers and early walkers. Ideal to fit playpens.
- Large (6×8 ft) — Our most popular size. Covers a full play area. Ideal for active toddlers or siblings sharing the space.
- XL (6×10 ft) — A great long-format option for hallways, open-plan areas, or active toddlers.
- 2XL (8×10 ft) — Generous coverage for a full play area — room for siblings, parents, and all the toys.
- 3XL (8×12 ft)— Near full-room coverage — perfect for dedicated playrooms or open living spaces.
- 4XL (10×12 ft / 180×240 cm) — Our largest size — the ultimate play space for growing families and big rooms.
When in doubt, size up — babies grow fast.
How do I clean a Little Landings play mat?
For everyday messes, wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry. 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.
How thick are Little Landings play mats — is it enough cushioning?
Our mats are 0.5 inches (12.7 mm) thick — significantly thicker than the standard foam tiles sold in big-box stores. That cushioning absorbs impact during head bumps, tummy time, and rolling, while remaining firm enough that babies don't sink or wobble. It's the sweet spot between plush comfort and developmental support.
Will the play mat scratch or damage my hardwood floors?
Not at all. The underside of every Little Landings mat has a smooth, non-slip, scratch-free surface that won't mark hardwood, engineered wood, laminate, tile, or luxury vinyl plank flooring. The mat grips the floor gently to prevent sliding without any adhesive or suction — and lifts away cleanly.
