Such a beautiful mat design compared to others in the market! It goes so well with our decor 😀 so glad that we made the investment as it used for nappy free tummy time (as it's waterproof) is easy to clean, is a beautiful addition to bubs play pen plus I use it as my yoga mat sometimes.

Really great design and quality. Couldn’t be happier. Customer service was also excellent! The playmat was shipped promptly and when the couriers accidentally delivered to the incorrect address, Skye was very kind and helpful over email trying to sort it out. Have had many compliments on this beauty.

I have bought a Moses basket with stand and a playmate from Young Folk Collective and cannot rate the quality and aesthetic of each product high enough!
Our Moses basket is beautiful and sturdy and stayed with our son from his first night home until he was ready to move into his cot at 5 months. It is beautiful quality and looks exactly as described online.
The playmat is one of my favourite products to date. It’s very thick and soft so perfect for kneeling on, and cushioning those many falls as we are learning to sit up. It’s a beautiful pattern that is fun but also funky and fits with our home decor without being loud and gawky. The patterns are very stimulating and my son loves looking at the butterfly’s and mushrooms and flowers. Super easy to clean and move around also!

Such a beautiful play mat and the quality is amazing and I love that it comes with two different patterns, makes it super versatile. Suits our retro themed nursery and I can’t wait for our little man to become earth side, so he can spend hours playing on this gorgeous mat. Thank you 🙏🏻 🙌😊❤️😍

Ordered two play matt’s and was so pleased with the service, I had even changed my mind on the design I wanted and they were so friendly and were able to amend my order. The mats are so soft and squishy very comfy to sit on with your little one! The patterns are so nice and compliment our house and our little ones eyes are drawn to them! Couldn’t ask for a better play mat and the size is perfect! The best thing is it doesn’t get squished and stay squished it bounces back to original padding.

Gorgeous products - the orca Moses basket is absolutely gorgeous and I can't wait till my little one arrives! I also bought an extra large playmat which is so super soft and the size fits our play room perfectly, both my older kids love sitting on the mat and I love how easy it is to clean vs the rug we used to have in there.
