14 Best Baby Play Mats in Singapore | Best of Baby 2023

A baby play mat, bouncers, or swings, are the safe comfortable spots that you can trust when you cannot hold your baby due to urgent activities that you need to attend to. However, bouncers and swings offer limited space hence play mats that offer a wide range of colors, visuals, textures, and sizes can definitely come in more handy! Play mats also offer numerous benefits not only for cognitive, visual, and gross motor development but also for strengthening their neck and shoulder muscles, preventing getting a flat head, and even encouraging independence and self-awareness. To help you find the right one for your baby, we have rounded up the best play mats to buy in Singapore. Check them out below!

Best Baby Play Mats in Singapore

1. Snow Palette Free 210

Innovative 5-fold mat design

Korea’s premium mat brand Creamhaus has introduced the innovative 5-fold Snow Palette Free 210 mat. This playmat comes in two exquisite, gorgeous neutral colours – Cream Greige and Ash Gray. We absolutely love these colours, as they blend in beautifully in modern homes of today. Ash Gray is a special edition collaboration with eco-friendly paint brand Dunn-Edwards, with a unique double-sided design with greige colour on the bottom side.

What’s incredible about this folding mat is that it has a Magic Line feature providing a gapless surface which prevents dust and dirt from easily accumulating between gaps. This makes it easy to clean too, which further helps to ensure that your little one’s play area is always clean.

Strict safety standards

As parents, we definitely want products that are safe for our little ones. Creamhaus mats’ exterior (PU) and interior (PE) are completely certified, with the mat being awarded the OEKO-TEX Standard 100 Class 1. 

Furthermore, upon production, Creamhaus performs an enhanced 6-step treatment process to remove any harmful substances from the mat. We definitely appreciate this additional step taken to ensure the safety for our kids.

Encourages creativity and imagination

The Creamhaus Snow Palette Free 210 can also function as a versatile play area. You can transform the mat into different crawling obstacle courses for your baby, such as stairs and tunnels. This helps to foster creativity and imagination, providing fun play throughout. 

Another standout feature is its 10-layer compressed foam that effectively absorbs shock and reduces floor noise by 59%.

2. Primo Babies PLUSH Playmat Series

Popular travel design with superior safety & comfort

If you absolutely love traveling, be sure to check out Primo Babies’ all-time favourite design – the PLUSH Summertime + Travel the World (LGE 18) playmat. The Plush Series playmats are 18 mm thick, with memory-like cushion firmness that provides a superior cushioning effect for your little one. What we especially love is the hot air balloons in the design, which reminds us of our amazing trip to Cappadocia! 

I personally use Primo Babies playmats as their products are certified safe for babies, boasting European safety standard EN71-3 certification, Korean Conformity Laboratories certification (KC mark) and SGS safety certification. All Primo Babies play mats are eco-friendly and non-toxic, free of phthalates, formamide, BPA, and other harmful heavy metals.

Adding to your baby’s comfort is the size of this play mat. With its dimension of 210 x 140 cm, your baby will have a more spacious play area to roam about. 

Designed for versatility

The Summertime + Travel the World is a reversible design that offers versatility in use, enabling you to transform it from a play mat into a stylish décor with just one flip! Travel the World is a fun and cheerful design that aids in your little one’s visual development, while Travel the World is all about neutral tones that will suit any room seamlessly in your home. 

Scratch-resistant and waterproof for great durability

Furthermore, this play mat is made with premium soft PVC and has an intricate texture and finish, which feels soft and comfortable to the skin and avoids slippage. This play mat is amazingly scratch-resistant, layered with Greensoft Protection film which protects the mat against accidental scratches from toys. You won’t have to worry whenever you hear your little ones dragging on or digging their toys into the play mat.

What’s great is that all Primo Babies play mats are also waterproof. Any spillage would be easy to wipe up, and you will not have to worry about sticky residues staying on the mat. Simply wash it off with soap and water, and your play mat will be good as new.

Hand in hand, these two properties extend the lifespan of the play mat, thereby saving you money in the long run. Other waterproof play mats may offer little to no scratch resistance feature, so one deep scratch is all it takes to render its waterproofing null. This playmat comes with a 1-year warranty.
