- Return + Refund – Our swatch service is designed to be sustainable. If you return your swatches within 30 days, we’ll reuse them for future customers and refund your swatch deposit, so the swatches were free!

Swatch service
"Love the swatch service - so handy to help choose between all of the gorgeous patterns. Great for seeing an example of the fantastic quality of these playmats too if you haven't seen one before."
I have returned my 2
"I have returned my 2 swatches (to be in the prize draw) and have ordered and received my 2 new totter and tumble mats. The Mirah for my living room and the Kempton for the kitchen. I love them both, and so does everyone who visits."
Brilliant swatch service
"Great swatch service. We do love the suttle designs, however the swatches ordered (the 2 designs I liked) does not fit our interior when we placed them. I would love to explore more designs in the future and get what's right for us :)"
Helpful.
"Very helpful service. But it is slower than every other purchase from totter and tumble. Now, I won’t reduce one star from the rating for the slow service- because, if the previous person who has your swatch designs takes time to return them by post- it is not totter and tumble’s fault. 😊"
Swatches to help choose our second mat
"We got swatches to help us decide on our mat. We got our first totter and tumble mat this time last year as a present before our first baby arrived. Baby is now 8months old and we’ve purchased our second mat after using the swatch service. They were delivered quickly and were easy to return - popping them back into the same envelope and putting straight into the postbox, attached the sticker provided. They did however come back to us fist time around, as with the extra customs labels for NI I didn’t think to cross out my address 🙈 We’re only delighted with both totter and tumble mats, both looking brand new. They are amazing for comfort and warmth and great for baby to roll and play on."
Brilliant Service
"What a lovely service that allows you to see different colours/patterns in your home to find the best fit. Amazing quality and such an easy return!"
Nice Swatch Service
"I like the swatch service a lot. It is very environment friendly and gives me a chance to see different colors and patterns in my actual home. The return service is very convenient as well."
My samples
"Lovely to see the quality of the mats, love the design, look and feel of the samples. Dispatch time was very fast! Recommend"
Q&A
- Curious on how the mats perform/lay on extremely plush carpet? Looking at this as an alternative to rug on carpet and want to know if this is something you would recommend in a nursey.
- Hi there! Our mats are suitable for all flooring types, however, you may see movement on a very plush/new carpet likewise on laminate or flooring without a grain/texture. That said, the weighty memory foam means they won't really slide around like lightweight playmats can, but there could be some movement. Hope that helps.
- Hi I'm looking for a sample for the blackthorn mat, do you know when this will be back? Thanks
- Hi there. Our Swatch Service is run sustainably, it should be back in stock very soon.
- Hi, Are there any plans for ‘The Brer Rabbit & Acorn’ to be bought back into stock. If so when do you think this will be.
- Hi there! Yes, it will be back in stock in September. Sign up to our newsletter if you would like to be alerted when preorders open.
- Hi, I’ve been checking for over a week for the blackthorn and standen swatch to come back into stock. Do you know when this will be available? Many thanks
- Hi there. We are due a new batch of swatches at the end of this week (28-10)
