What is Bumper Playmat?

An essential item for your home!

Bumper Playmat™ has passed the strict chemical stability tests of the world’s most prestigious certification organization (SGS).

The PVC Bumper Playmat™ sold and distributed by Small Small World, made by Parklon, LG Hausys and Fisher Price are safe, non-toxic, non-pathlate, BPA free and chemical free. They serve the primary function of providing cushioning and padding for your child's play area; a safe and ideal place for crawling, laying and sitting babies.

The Bumper Playmat™ is hygienic, durable, fun and colourful, some with educational designs of practical, functional, and recognizable characters. They are soft and cushioned, ranging from 10mm to 15mm thick, which is hard to achieve using material fabrics. Also, material fabrics and carpets are difficult to keep clean and free of germs and dust mites.

The Bumper Playmat™ is a safe alternative to hard floors and rough carpets where babies and toddlers can play safely for many years. They are manufactured in South Korea under strict controls with the very safest materials and to the highest standards, tested to exceed stringent European and US International toy standards.

LG vs. Parklon Bumper Playmat, what are the differences?

The Bumper Playmat™ that we are selling is of good quality, non-toxic, non-pathlate, BPA and chemical free, therefore completely safe for your child. They serve the primary function of providing cushioning and padding for your child's play area; a safe and ideal place for crawling, laying and sitting babies.

Generally, the LG Hausys range of Bumper Playmat™ feels firmer compared to the Parklon range. LG mats are more premium, as they are made with more specially refined plasticizer material injected into the PVC skin that is highly flexible and resilient, therefore making it a firmer and heavier mat. LG costs more due to this process. The embossing patterns for both brands are similar. These embossing patterns are for enhancing the surface finish and to make it more durable.

We would advise you to consider the points below when choosing a Bumper Playmat™:

  • Budget
  • Size and thickness
  • Design

How to get rid of ‘Impressions’ and creases on my Bumper Playmat?

It is normal to see those creases for the first few weeks. They need time to slowly fade away. Yes, this applies to all of the Bumper Playmat. It is best that for the initial period that you do not fold them during the night or when it is not in use just to speed up the "straightening" process.

There is some smell from the Bumper Playmat when we first open it, is it safe for my baby?

Just like the "new" smell in a brand new car, a new pair of shoes or a hand bag, the mat has been manufactured and then contained in the packaging right after it was made, therefore it has a 'new' smell to it. It is non-toxic and completely safe, so you don't have to worry. Wipe the mat clean with water and a mild baby soap, the smell will go away just like it does with other new products.

ALL Parklon and LG play mats have been scientifically proven to be safe and eco-friendly. ALL our play mats have passed the vigorous chemical stability test given by the world's most prestigious certification organisation (*SGS). They are even safe for children with sensitive skin.

* SGS stands for Societe Generale de Surveillance. With the head office in Geneve, Switzerland. SGS is an organization that provides inspection, testing, certification, and verification services of new products.

Please refer to our "Latest News" section for the latest news and updates on ALL safety certifications obtained from SGS for all our products at SSW.

Bumper Playmat VS PE folding mat - what are the differences?

Bumper Playmat is made of soft PVC which is formulated with specially refined plasticizer that is highly flexible and resilient.  It absorbs impact when babies or kids hit against it. These PVC mats are heavier than PE folding mat but they are more durable.

PE mat is made of PE (polyethylene).  This is a non-toxic material that is widely used in the food packaging industry. It is lightweight and absorbs impact very well.  PE mat also insulates cold air and humidities.

While they both serve to provide cushioning on the floor, the PE mat is not as durable but it is more portable (lighter) and can also be used outdoor.
