What is the Leo Mat made of?

Each Leo Mat is made from CertiPUR-US® certified foam — soft yet supportive — and wrapped in ultra-durable microsuede that’s buttery-soft, pet-friendly, and stain-resistant.

What are the dimensions?

Each full Leo Mat includes:

• 2 Base Cushions (Tri-fold): 72" x 33" x 10"
  • Each Base: 72” x 33” x 5”
• 2 Triangle Support Pillows: 24” x 14” x 14”
  

When fully expanded, the base cushions create a queen-sized bed (perfect for guests or sleepovers), or fold into 40+ imaginative builds.

How firm is the foam?

We use a medium-firm density that’s comfy for sitting, lounging, and building — but strong enough to hold its shape, even during epic fort battles.

How do I clean my Leo Mat?

Our covers are machine-washable! Wash them alone in cold water, then tumble dry low. Avoid bleach or high heat to protect the fabric and zippers.

Can I wash the foam inside?

The foam itself isn't washable — but we’ve got you covered! For added protection, check out our LeoProof™ Waterproof Cover. It adds a water-resistant barrier between your mat and life’s little messes.

Are the covers easy to remove?

Yes! Our heavy-duty YKK zippers make swapping or washing your covers easy — no tug-of-war required.

What age is Leo Mat best for?

Leo Mat is designed for kids 12 months and up, but even babies can enjoy supervised tummy time on the soft, supportive surface.

Is it safe for toddlers and older kids?

Yes! Toddlers love crawling, climbing, and flopping around on it — and older kids will use it for building forts, playing games, or just hanging out. Teens even use it as a comfy lounge space.

Can I use it for babies or newborns?

While Leo Mat is soft enough for tummy time, it's not intended for unsupervised infant sleep or as a crib alternative. Always supervise little ones during play.

We know you're excited — and we are too! Your Leo Mat will ship free within 2–3 business days, so your next great adventure is just around the corner.

Because of the nature of our product (once unboxed, the foam expands and can't be repackaged), all sales are final and we are unable to accept returns at this time.

That said, your happiness matters. If your order arrives with any issues — such as the wrong color, a fabric flaw, or any damage — please email us at leoplaymat@gmail.com within 24 hours of delivery so we can make it right.

Tip: Be sure to inspect your Leo Mat as soon as it arrives — before it joins in the fun!

How many ways can I build with a Leo Mat?

Over 40+ creative builds — and counting! From forts and tunnels to reading nooks and guest beds, the possibilities are endless. Your kids will invent new ones every week.

Is it hard to build with?

Not at all. The Leo Mat is designed to be modular, balanced, and easy for kids to move. Parents can join in too — no tools, no frustration, just imagination.

Where can I find build ideas?

Check out our Builds & Play Ideas page for inspiration, configurations, and downloadable guides.

Is Leo Mat safe for kids?

Yes! Leo Mat is made with CertiPUR-US® certified foam that’s free from flame retardants, heavy metals, and harsh chemicals. It also meets California’s TB-117 flammability standards for furniture.

Can my child sleep on it?

Leo Mat is perfect for lounging, sleepovers, and even guest beds — the two base cushions can form twin-size beds or a queen when combined.

That said, it’s not intended for unsupervised infant or toddler sleep, and shouldn't replace a crib or certified child mattress.

What ages is Leo Mat best for?

Recommended for ages 12 months and up — toddlers love it, older kids live on it, and grown-ups crash on it too.

Is there anything I should avoid?

Always supervise active play, especially with younger kids. Avoid using the mat on stairs or near sharp corners, and never place heavy items on top when someone is underneath.
