When it comes to baby products, safety isn’t just important—it’s everything. As new mums and pregnant women navigating a sea of choices, we know you’re not just looking for something cute. You want peace of mind. That’s why at Munchkin and Bear, we’ve made it our mission to create the safest memory foam play mat available in Australia (and beyond).
So, what makes our play mats so safe? Buckle up, baby—here comes the science (and some warm fuzzy feelings too).
1. Made with Non-Toxic, Baby-Safe Materials
Our memory foam play mats are crafted from high-quality TPU (thermo-polyurethane) foam, chosen for its softness, durability, and most importantly—its safety. TPU is typically used in products such as cot mattresses, contact lenses and medical goggles. They’re completely free from nasties like BPA, PVC, lead, phthalates, formaldehyde and other yucky stuff you definitely don’t want near your baby’s face (or mouth, because let’s be real—everything goes in there).
2. Exceeding Global Safety Standards
We’re proud to say that our mats exceed Australian and international safety standards. We actually pay for extra testing (not required by Australian Law) to ensure the safety of our customers. They’re independently tested and certified to meet standards including:
-
EN71-1, 2, 3 (European toy safety standard)
-
AS/NZS ISO 8124 (Australian and New Zealand safety standards for toys)
-
REACH Compliance (EU regulations for chemicals)
-
US CPSIA Compliance (Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act)
In other words, we’ve ticked all the boxes—and then some.
3. Safety Reports You Can See
Transparency is key. That’s why we make our independent safety testing reports available for you to view. Because if you’re trusting us with your baby’s floor time, we want you to feel 100% confident that our mats are as safe as they are snuggly.

4. Gentle on Skin, Tough on Spills
Our mats feature a waterproof, easy-to-clean surface that’s hypoallergenic and gentle on sensitive baby skin. It won’t crack, flake, or irritate. Plus, it handles snack-time disasters and nappy-free “incidents” like a champ—just wipe and you’re done.
5. Thoughtful Design = Fewer Hazards
No puzzle-piece gaps. No sharp edges. No tripping hazards. Our play mats lie flat with softly rounded edges and a non-slip surface, designed for real-life parenting (and enthusiastic toddler antics).
Why It Matters
We know how overwhelming it is to choose products for your baby—especially when everything claims to be “the best.” But at Munchkin and Bear, we’ve gone the extra mile to back our quality with real testing, real results, and real parent feedback.
So whether you're prepping a nursery or chasing a crawling cutie, our Munchkin and Bear Memory Foam Play Mat gives your little one a soft, stylish, and super-safe place to grow, play, and explore.
In Summary: Safe, Soft, and Seriously Stylish
We’re not just about pretty patterns (although, yes—they are stunning). We’re about creating safer spaces for babies and peace of mind for parents. Because raising tiny humans is hard enough—you shouldn’t have to second-guess what they’re playing on.
