Totter + Tumble’s try before you buy swatch service is the ideal first step towards finding your perfect playmat.
Each Totter + Tumble swatch is a true-to-scale mini version of the full sized playmat, complete with the same premium foam thickness, surface texture and reversible design to support in your purchasing decision. Order up to two returnable swatches to try in your home and follow our top tips for getting the most out of them.
Unpack and get familiar
Our growing collection includes designs in various colour families and similarly to choosing the perfect paint tone for your home, you’ll want to ensure our playmat hues are complementary for your space too - whether it's an earthy neutral or a cool blue, we have so many choices for modern family homes.
Compare the swatch against your walls, flooring and statement furniture pieces, such as the sofa and curtains, considering where it will be unrolled and how it may add splashes of new or complementary colour or pattern to the area. You'll want to check it under artificial light as well, as colours can appear different when natural light is low.
In case you missed it, all of our playmats are double sided. That means you get two playmats in one! You've likely considered the primary side of your swatch, but what about the reverse side? Flip it over and view the alternative side in your space too. If you have a non repeat design, remember you will only have a portion of the full motif.
Hands-on preview of the real thing
Alongside a commitment to creating beautiful designs, quality is something we will never compromise on either. Our playmats are made from thick, bounce-back memory foam that provides comfort and protection on the floor, while not being too thick that they prove a trip hazard...we've got the thickness just right! In addition, unlike lightweight EVA foam playmats, our padded mats have a heaviness to them, so they don't slid around underfoot. Feel the quality with your hands, including the textured surface. Why not take the kneel test on it too.
Test out the key features
We understand accidents happen, we have them in our busy family homes too and that's why a wipeable, closed-cell surface is a non negotiable feature for us. The same quality as our full sized playmats, you can try wiping up a spill from the swatch with a soft cloth or muslin - it couldn't be easier!

Pick your perfect playmat
Once you’ve compared your swatches, it's time to pick your favourite. Not sure yet? Take photos of the swatches in your space, why not share them with friends or your interior designer for a second opinion as well. Finally, measure up the floor space you have available and purchase the size we have available in that design that suits it best. We always advise choosing the largest size you can accommodate, but with five sizes available, from our versatile play runner to the biggest single piece playmat on the market, our XL, you should find something perfect for you and your home.
