Who is Matty?

Hi, I’m Ellen — a mom of twins who knows just how wonderfully wild parenting can be.

My daughter Matty is the heart behind Matty’s Room. When I looked for a playpen in the U.S., I couldn’t find one that felt safe, stylish, and practical for everyday life. So my co-founder Linda and I built the one we needed.

Today, Matty’s Room is here as your parenting sidekick — helping families create safe, beautiful spaces where little ones can play, explore, and grow.

Matty loves her playpen. It’s where she reads, plays, and makes her own little world.

Our Inspiration

On a trip to Korea, I discovered a world of baby products that amazed me—thoughtful designs that put safety, innovation, and gentleness first. They were clean, beautiful, and worry-free—everything I wanted for my own babies.

When I returned home, I couldn’t find much like them in the U.S. That’s why we started Matty’s Room: to bring those same high standards and joyful designs to families here.

We’re just getting started, and we can’t wait to share more products made with love for you and your little one.

Looking towards the future:

We design for today, always with tomorrow in mind. Our products blend style and safety to support your baby's play now, while laying the foundation for more comfort, beauty, and joy in the years ahead.

Design Philosophy

1. Safety First, Always.

Your little one’s well-being comes first. That’s why every Matty’s Room product is rigorously tested to exceed U.S. safety standards and thoughtfully designed—like our mat’s seamless, gap-free surface—so playtime, crawling, and those first steps feel safe and worry-free.

2. It’s All in the Details.

From the tiniest curve to the softest surface, every detail is designed with care. For example, our playpens feature bars with the perfect curvature—creating an airy, open feel while meeting the highest safety standards.

3. Play in Style.

We never want to compromise your style for all that your baby's needs. Our designs are meant to be minimalistic, to fit into the beautiful and comfortable space you’ve had before parenthood.

4. Made to Grow With You.

Built to keep up with all the tumbles, giggles, and milestones. We design with your little one’s growth in mind, so nothing is wasted, and you can invest in a long-lasting product.
