Frequently Asked Questions

What makes your Playroom unique?

Our Playroom is a complete, premium-grade play mat and playpen set designed for safety and made to look beautiful in your home.

It includes the Mat and the Pen—a matching set engineered to fit seamlessly together using premium materials, creating a stable, gap-minimized, and secure play space that supports active movement while helping reduce slips, shifting, and pinch points.

Designed for real life, the Playroom is easy to set up, easy to clean, and made to blend effortlessly into your living space—so it works just as well for peace of mind as it does for your home’s aesthetic.

Is your Playroom safe for babies?

Yes. The Playroom is designed with safety as the top priority. Our products meet and exceed applicable safety standards, including CPSIA and ASTM, and are rigorously tested to help give parents peace of mind.

We also avoid harmful chemicals commonly found in some baby products. Our baby playpen (The Pen) and play mat (The Mat) are made without BPAs, phthalates, lead, cadmium, and other toxins, so little ones can play, crawl, and explore safely.

Beyond certifications, the Playroom includes thoughtful safety features:

  • Safety Stoppies anti-slip base helps keep the Pen securely in place during active play
  • Gap-minimizing design helps reduce pinch points
  • Continuous cushioned play mat surface supports crawling, rolling, and early steps
  • 3-step locking door mechanism that’s easy for grown-ups but impossible for little ones to open

Why does Matty’s Room cost more than a typical playpen?

The Playroom is a premium playpen and play mat set designed to work as one complete system. The 5×7 ft play space combines the Pen and Mat to create a spacious, cushioned baby play area that fits naturally into your main living space.

While many brands sell inexpensive playpens made with basic materials, we focused on building a matching playpen and non-toxic play mat engineered to work seamlessly together. The result is a more stable, gap-minimized play area that helps reduce shifting and slipping during active play.

Instead of cutting corners to lower cost, we prioritize premium materials, safety-focused design, and long-term durability.

Can I buy the Pen or the Mat separately?

Yes. While the Playroom is designed as a complete playpen and play mat set, you can absolutely purchase the Pen or the Mat on their own.

Some families start with just the play mat (the Mat) for tummy time and floor play, while others choose the baby playpen (the Pen) to create a safe play area. If you decide later to combine both, they fit together seamlessly to form the full Playroom setup.

If you plan to use the Pen or Mat with products from other brands, please make sure the overall setup remains safe—avoid gaps where little hands, feet, or heads could get stuck, and ensure the surface underneath is firm, stable, and level.

Why did you choose food-grade HDPE for the Pen?

Our HDPE material has been independently tested and verified to meet FDA food-contact material requirements, the same regulatory standard used for materials found in food containers and other food-contact products. This gives parents added peace of mind, especially during the teething stage when babies naturally chew, bite, and mouth the surfaces around them.

While wooden playpens offer a classic look, wood can splinter, develop rough edges, absorb moisture, or warp over time. This is particularly concerning for teething babies who may chew on the rails, potentially exposing them to splinters or damaged finishes.

HDPE offers a thoughtful alternative:

  • Food-contact compliant: Independently verified to meet FDA requirements under 21 CFR 177.1520.
  • Smooth and splinter-free: No wood fibers or splinters, even when little ones explore with their mouths.
  • Durable and sturdy: Designed to withstand everyday play without the maintenance associated with wood.
  • Moisture-resistant and easy to clean: Doesn't absorb spills or moisture, making everyday cleanup simple.
  • Fully recyclable: A durable material that can also be recycled through appropriate facilities.

The result is a thoughtfully designed Pen that combines food-grade materials, everyday durability, and a smooth, easy-to-clean surface—giving little ones a space to explore and parents one less thing to worry about.

How easy is the Playroom to assemble?

The Playroom can be set up in under 15 minutes, and no tools are required.

The Pen panels connect using a simple interlocking system that snaps together quickly, so you can assemble or adjust the layout in just a few minutes—no screws or complicated steps.

The Mat requires no assembly at all. Just unfold it and place it inside the Pen to complete your Playroom.

Will the Playroom fit in my living room?

The Playroom measures approximately 5×7 ft*, creating a spacious baby play area while still fitting comfortably in most living rooms.

Many parents place it in their main living space so they can supervise while relaxing, working, or preparing meals nearby.

Because the design is clean and furniture-inspired, the Playroom is meant to blend naturally into your home décor, rather than feeling like bulky baby gear.

*Interior space measures about 55" × 86.5" (around 4'7" × 7'2") with a height of 26.5 inches.
