The living room floor in a family home works hard. In the early days it has to support tummy time and as they grow it’s a base for blanket forts. The floor is a space for games and puzzles, plus an exercise area if you manage to find a spare 30 minutes in the never-ending schedule. 

Putting it plainly, the living room is a family's natural gathering place; it's the place to be. And that’s why we think you should design this space from the floor up. With consideration for protection, support, ease of cleaning and style, all playing a part in the decision making.

This September, we are introducing a new Signature style to our luxury play mat collection. The Beachcomber + The Gatherer offers two beautiful rug-like designs, with the no-compromise features that really give family homes what they need. Softness, impact-absorption and wipeability in a roll-out and go single piece design. Totter + Tumble began with our founder Susie looking for a softer, safer place for her children to play, and a design that felt at home in her family space. This launch returns to that original idea.

The Beachcomber Playmat

The beautiful Beachcomber Play mat takes its cue from the coast, with a small-scale pattern of scalloped shells in subtle sea glass and white sand tones. The mini motifs offer decorative detail to enjoy up close, but there is a softness to the overall design, so that it feels like a timeless rug, that belongs to the space. The Beachcomber offers just the right amount of nautical character, without feeling like a themed seaside rug.

The Gatherer Playmat

Turn the play mat over to meet The Gatherer Play mat. Inspired by knotted fishing nets, its fluid motif and hand-drawn texture is a feast for the eyes, settling into the space like a textile rug would. For this new Signature pairing, both sides have been created with a complementary color palette, so you can flip between the sides without rethinking the rest of your room.

“Totter + Tumble began with a simple frustration: I wanted a softer, safer place for our children to play without compromising the feel of our home. The Gatherer + The Beachcomber play mat brings that idea full circle - calm, timeless and made for real family life.”

- Susie Stubbs, Founder of Totter + Tumble   

A calm design on a hard-working play mat

Beneath the hand-designed coastal patterns is half an inch of thick, cushioning memory foam, offering support for little tumbles, everyday play and grown-up knees too. Totter + Tumble play mats are made from high-quality, independently tested, non-toxic materials and are certified safe from newborn+. Engineered with a closed-cell surface, it ensures spills, dust and dirt are kept on top, making it easy to wipe clean. And because it is made as one seamless piece, there are no puzzle pieces to put together. Just unroll your play mat and make room for play, family games or a stretch once the toys have been moved aside.

Three playmat sizes, including our first XL Signature design

The Beachcomber + The Gatherer play mat is available in Compact, Standard and after so many customer requests for the largest size, the XL too. This is the first design in our Signature Collection to be available in XL, so you can give more space to whatever is happening on the floor.
