At Gathre, we believe beauty and function should coexist—even on the floor. Our bonded leather mats are designed to move with you through every stage of family life, from baby's first tummy time to backyard birthdays and beyond. But with so many sizes to choose from, finding your perfect fit can feel a little overwhelming. That’s why we created this guide: to help you choose the right mat size for your space, your routine, and the beautiful chaos of everyday life.
The Mini
Best for: High chair messes, crafts, under pet bowls, small shelf liners
Size: 14x22 in.
Small but mighty, the Mini is the mat you never knew you needed. Keep it by the door for wet shoes, in the kitchen for splatters, or under your toddler’s creative masterpieces. It's endlessly useful and folds down to practically nothing.
The Micro
Best for: Tabletop protection, travel changing pad, on-the-go moments
Size: 38x38 in.
The Micro is your everyday grab-and-go. It fits in a diaper bag and lays out quickly for changes, snacks, or spontaneous picnics. Perfect for minimalist parents and babies on the move.
The Midi
Best for: Tummy time, toddler play, under sensory bins or art tables
Size: 38x52 in.
This size was made with movement in mind. Ideal for early crawlers and explorers, the Midi provides a comfortable and stylish zone for learning and play. Bonus: it fits beautifully in smaller living rooms or nurseries.
The Maxi
Best for: Family picnics, beach days, playdates, preschool rooms
Size: 52x76 in.
The Maxi is your go-to for gathering. Big enough to fit multiple kids, snacks, and even you, this mat is perfect for outdoor adventures or larger playroom coverage. Think of it as your mobile family room.
The Padded Mats (Mini to Maxi)
Best for: Cushioned comfort, cozy corners, reading nooks, soft play
Sizes vary (Micro+ to Midi+)
Our padded mats offer an extra layer of comfort while keeping the clean, wipeable surface you love. Whether you're building a calm-down corner or encouraging floor play, these are a dream for babies, toddlers, and grown-ups who like soft landings too.
How to Choose:
-
Measure your space. Think about how much surface area you want covered—is this for one child or three? Indoors or outdoors?
-
Consider your routine. Do you need a grab-and-go option or something to live in your playroom?
-
Think about storage. All mats fold flat, but smaller sizes can slip into drawers or diaper bags.
