Best Organic and Non Toxic Play Mats

Click the rating symbols below each play mat for more information about its material health.

These are the healthiest baby play mats available, especially if you choose the GOLS certified organic latex option. They also have OEKO TEX certified latex. They all have a washable GOTS certified organic cotton outer. These certifications ensure that the materials have been tested by a third party to be free of harmful chemicals. Lots of colors, prints, and sizes to choose from. 15% off through this link.

Piccalio Play Mat

These baby play mats are made with OEKO TEX certified natural latex, and wrapped in a GOTS certified waterproof organic cotton cover that has a thin TPU lining inside to make it waterproof (TPU is pretty inert and something I frequently recommend for waterproofing, like in mattress protectors). A solidly healthy option.

Pillobebe CorkiMat

These baby play mats get their name from the fact that they used to be made of cork inserts. Now, the inserts are made of OEKO TEX certified polyester so they are more affordable and washable. When polyester is certified to not have any added chemicals, it’s quite inert for the user. They have GOTS certified organic cotton outers, including one option that is undyed.

MakeMake Organic Play Mat

These play mats have a GOTS certified organic cotton outer and an OEKO TEX certified polyester batting inside. When polyester is certified to not have any added chemicals, it’s quite inert for the user. Machine washable, and a good option if your baby has a latex allergy.

Bub Mats Cushy Mat

These are made of OEKO TEX and ecoINSTITUT certified latex, which means it’s not organic, but it does have verification that it’s pure without synthetic rubbers or harmful chemicals added. The waterproof liner is made of bamboo viscose with a TPU laminate, so a semi-synthetic fabric, but far better than a natural fabric coated in PFAS. Their organic cotton outer doesn’t have organic certification. Cute patterns and a much healthier choice than regular foam or PVC.

Naturepedic Play Pad

Naturepedic makes a rest pad that doubles as a simple play mat. The outer fabric is either GOTS certified organic or OCS certified, which is less strict. But, it does have MADE SAFE certification, which means its still processed in a healthier-than-average way. The fabric also has a sugarcane-based waterproof coating. The pad is filled with polyester. Still a healthy, waterproof choice, and more affordable than many options.

EVA Play Mats for Kids

If you’re going to get a play mat made with EVA foam, I’d recommend buying used so it’s had a chance to off-gas, or buy new from a company that meets EU standards for low formamide (the chemical that makes EVA foam softer, but off-gasses in small amounts). These options from Copenhagen Kid meet the EU’s REACH standards and ship free. EVA is still much better than polyurethane foam or PVC.

Ecobalanza Play Mat

Listed last only because this is a custom option which requires contacting them directly. Ecobalanza makes play mats and cubes for kids with certified organic cotton, latex, kapok, wool, and other totally natural materials. They also have experience creating furniture for kids with tactile sensitivities. Prices equivalent to other low-tox brands. A great brand totally focused on healthy materials.
