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. The Mat and Pen are free from BPAs, phthalates, lead, cadmium, and other harmful substances, so little ones can play, crawl, and explore with confidence.

Our products also meet applicable CPSIA and ASTM safety standards and undergo rigorous third-party testing to help give parents peace of mind.

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

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.

Parents often ask us: Why food-grade HDPE instead of wood?

We love the classic look of wood, but wanted something just as beautiful and more practical for everyday life with little ones. That's why we chose food-grade HDPE—it won't splinter, doesn't absorb moisture, and wipes clean in seconds. Because let's face it, little ones chew, drool, and spill on everything!

Plus, our HDPE has been independently tested to meet FDA food-contact material requirements, giving parents extra peace of mind when curious little mouths explore everything around them.

Here's how the Matty's Room Pen compares to traditional wooden playpens:

  • Food-grade HDPE: Independently tested to meet FDA food-contact requirements.
  • No wood splinters: Smooth, splinter-free surfaces for curious little hands and mouths. Wood can splinter over time and requires sanding to restore a smooth surface.
  • Wipe-clean & moisture-resistant: Spills, drool, and messes wipe right off! Wood is prone to moisture damage and requires more care.
  • Glue-free construction: No glued wood joints or chemical adhesives. Wooden pens may use glues, depending on construction.
  • Matching 1.5" cushioned Mat: Soft landings for little bums! Not always available with wooden pens.
  • 3-step child-resistant lock: Designed to help keep curious little hands from opening the gate. Lock designs vary among wooden pens.
  • Recyclable material: Our HDPE is recyclable where accepted. Wood's recyclability depends on its finishes and treatments.
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.
