THE MAT MAT
What exactly is the Mat Mat?
The Mat Mat is a premium foldable play mat for babies and young children. It's designed for real life — the park, the grandparents' place, the airport gate. It folds into a compact handled block about the size of a hardcover book, slips under a stroller basket, and unfolds in seconds into a clean, cushioned surface wherever you are. Made from a matte wipeable surface over medium-firm foam, with a non-slip bottom.
How big is it when open?
The Mat Mat opens to 99 × 80cm — generous enough for a baby to roll, stretch, and play. Big enough for a toddler to sit with a few toys. Compact enough to actually bring with you.
How big is it when folded?
Folded, it's approximately 33 × 40 × 9cm — about the size of a hardcover book. It has two sewn webbing handles so you can carry it like a bag or tuck it into a stroller basket.
Is it safe for babies?
Yes. Every material in the Mat Mat has been tested and verified. It is formamide-free, PFAS-free, phthalate-free, and PVC-free. It meets EN71 and CPSIA safety standards — the same certifications required for children's toys in Europe and North America.
Can I wipe it clean?
Yes — the surface wipes clean in seconds with a damp cloth. No special cleaners needed.
What colorways are available?
We're launching with two colorways: Patchwork (a Mondrian-inspired block pattern in muted tones) and Terracotta (a terracotta and cream checkerboard). Both are designed to live beautifully in your home and travel well.
RESERVATIONS
What does it mean to reserve a patch?
Reserving your patch puts you on our first batch list and locks in founder pricing — a meaningful savings off the retail price of CAD $219, exclusively for early supporters. No payment is taken now. We'll reach out when the product is ready to ship.
When will the Mat Mat ship?
We're targeting spring 2027 for our first batch. We're building this carefully — we'd rather take the time to get it right than rush something into your hands that isn't worth it.
How many are available?
Our first batch is limited by our initial production run. We're not putting a number on it, but once the first batch is reserved, that's it until the next run. The colorway tracker on our homepage reflects real reservation activity.
What is founder pricing?
Founder pricing is our way of saying thank you to the people who believed early. Everyone who reserves before we launch will receive a founder price of CAD $179 — our thank you to the people who believed before they could hold it in their hands. Retail price at launch will be CAD $219.
Will you spam me?
No. We'll email you when the product is ready, when we have updates worth sharing, and when it's time to use your founder pricing. That's it. You can unsubscribe at any time.
SHIPPING & RETURNS
Where do you ship?
We're a Canadian brand and will ship across Canada at launch. We're working on US shipping and will have more details closer to launch.
What will shipping cost?
We're finalising our shipping rates. Our goal is to keep shipping fair — we'll share exact rates before you're asked to complete a purchase.
What is your return policy?
We stand behind the Mat Mat. If you're not happy with your purchase for any reason, we accept returns within 30 days of delivery for a full refund. The mat must be in its original condition. We'll provide a prepaid return label — returns should never feel like a punishment.
What if my mat arrives damaged?
If your mat arrives damaged or defective, contact us at hello@joinpatchclub.com and we'll make it right immediately. No questions, no hoops.
ABOUT PATCH CLUB
Who makes the Mat Mat?
We're Jonathan and Candice — a physiotherapist and a full-time mom based in Markham, Ontario. We started Patch Club because we couldn't find a mat that worked for both a park lawn and a hard café floor. So we made one.
Where is it made?
The Mat Mat is manufactured in China with materials and construction methods we've personally vetted. Every material is third-party tested before it touches our product.
