What is Bonded leather?

Bonded leather is a combination of wipeable synthetic material and genuine leather. Gathre’s bonded leather mats are beloved by many, because of the beauty and practicality of how these materials work together. The top is a layer of polyurethane, which makes it wipeable and water-resistant. The backside is a sturdy, textured leather material that works inside your home, and also in your backyard. Our bonded leather contains 72% PU leather and 28% genuine leather fibers.

What is on the underside of the mat?

The bottom side of the mat is a durable, textured leather material that can get wet as well as be cleaned. We like to think of it like the bottom of a shoe. It is understood it will be used, worn, and even get dirty.

Is there a way to get the wrinkles out?

Yes. Laying the mat out flat in the sun for an hour or so can help release wrinkles. You can also steam the underside of the mat until the wrinkles release. Do not iron.

Are the mats safe for my children?

Yes. All mats are California Prop 65 compliant and contain no lead or harmful chemicals.

What happens if I receive a damaged item?

That’s no good! Please contact us immediately as all damages must be reported within 48 hours upon receiving your order.

What is excluded from free shipping?

The following items are excluded from free shipping: All Floor Cushions, Poufs, Shape Pillows, all Playsets, Tumbling Mats, Padded Mats, Ottomans, Storage Bins, Loungers, Home Mats, Caddys, Quilted Mats, Pinboard, and Balance Beam.

Please also note that additional items not listed here may not qualify for free shipping outside of the contiguous 48 states.

If I just ordered something and the price is now lower can I get a price match?

We do not offer price adjustments on any items (including shipping costs). Please reach out to us at hello@gathre.com if you have any further questions. 

What is the difference between a regular and double sided mat?

Our double sided vegan mats are made of just the synthetic “leather-like” material that is on the top of our regular mats. There is no suede leather backing on the double sided, therefore there is absolutely no animal materials in the mat.

How big are the mats? Are they heavy?

Mat measurements can be found on the product listing. Also, because of the nature of our cutting and sewing processes, there may be a slight size variance in mats. We promise that mats will be within a 5% variance of the size stated on the product listing*. Printed mats are especially at risk for a little bit of size variance. If your mat is more than 5% larger or smaller than the stated size on the product listing, please email hello@gathre.com.

We know you’re carrying a lot. If you’re curious, here are some basic weights of our original mats to give you an idea. If you need a more specific product, reach out to hello@gathre.com.

*this excludes adult yoga mats who's width dimensions may vary up to 2.5 inches.

From there select the "Write Review" button and fill out the form. You are welcome to leave as many review as you would like, but we will only be sending out one review discount code a year per customer.

If you are unable to find this option, please send an email to hello@gathre.com with the subject line "LOCAL PICKUP" as soon as your order is placed.

Gathred

What is Gathred?

Gathred is a perks program for our most loyal customers. As part of Gathred, you'll be the first to know about launches, restocks, events, and collaborations. You'll also enjoy early access to new products, as well as an annual birthday gift. 

How do I join?

All you have to do is create an account here (https://gathre.com/account/login). We'll ask for basic info like your name, email address, and birth date. Having an account also allows you to store your address and contact info for easier checkout!

How does early access work?

Once you're subscribed as a Gathred member, you'll receive an email either the day before or the morning of a product launch with an early access code. You'll use this code on our website to access the collection before anyone else. Typically we only give an hour of early access, so be sure to use your code ASAP! 

How do I get my birthday gift?

Every Gathred member will be sent the birthday gift as long as they have entered their birthday information on their account as well as opted into receiving our marketing emails.

On the first of each month, we send out an automated email to anyone who was signed up before that date (the 1st of the month) with their birthday code inside. If you signed up after that date, you will not be sent an automated email. This is something we're working on fixing, but for now, if you sign up late, please just send an email to hello@gathre.com and we will get you a code! If you did sign up before the 1st and for some reason haven't gotten your code, please reach out so we can help. 

The birthday gift is good for $25 off of an order of $50 or more and cannot be extended outside of the month it was issued. 

Tablecloths

What are your Tablecloths made of?

Just like our regular mats, our Tablecloths are made from bonded leather, which is a combination of a wipeable synthetic material and genuine leather.

What size Tablecloth do I need?

The first step to getting the size right is, naturally, measuring your table. Then add whatever drop length you want to the measurements of each side of the table.

The drop on a tablecloth is typically anywhere between 8 inches and 16 inches, with a longer drop normally used for more formal occasions. (Think white linen tablecloths and waiters in tuxedos.) For an everyday kitchen table situation, err on the side of a shorter drop, somewhere around 6-10 inches. 

Learn more about how to find the perfect size for your table HERE.

What should I not use on my Tablecloth?

Be cautious of using clamping high chairs on Gathre tablecloths as the pressure can leave permanent indents on Gathre products. 

Do your Tablecloths stain?

The beauty of our Tablecloths is that, unlike a linen tablecloth, instead of having to wash your tablecloth after each use with our products you can simply wipe away messes and you're good to go.However, just as a linen tablecloth or even plastic tupperware can stain when used with highly pigmented foods/beverages/etc. our tablecloths can stain as well.

Can I place hot pots on on my Tablecloth?

We always suggest using a hot pad underneath hot pots and pans as the heat can damage your tablecloth.

Cleaning + Mat Care

Is there anything I shouldn’t use on my mat?

Avoid acrylic or oil paints. Take care that you do not use markers or ball point pens directly on the mat. And be mindful with scissors and other sharp object as they may cut the mat. Avoid using watercolors on printed mats as they are more sensitive to them. Some sunscreens can also stain the mat, particularly mineral sunscreen. Be sure to take caution when using highly pigmented items on your mat including food and beverages as we cannot be held responsible for damage done after the mat has been used.

How do I clean the mat?

Spot treat on the top and bottom sides of the mat. Using a paper towel or wet rag, clean off the area until the mess is gone. Always allow the mat to dry completely before putting it away to prevent any unwanted mold. Make sure to use caution at all times on the mats, as we cannot be held responsible for damage done after the mat has been used.

Can I wash the mat?

Do not machine wash. Follow the care instructions to clean.

Mat Cleaning Tips

Bottom:

We like to think of it like the bottom of a shoe. It is understood it will be used, worn, and even get dirty. The top side is what we play on and see. For muddy, food chunks, or messy areas on the back, you can spot treat it just like the top. Use a soapy wet rag to clean specific areas. It's a sturdy material and can handle cleaning.

Top:

Food and dirt marks: We recommend a simple product like Mrs Meyers cleaning spray (or any other brand equivalent). Spray the mat down, and scrub with a wet washcloth. With dried-on or sticky foods, you may have to scrape or scrub pretty hard. Clorox wipes are great for sanitizing.Stubborn stains: Baby oil is our go-to for a magic cleaning. Rubbing alcohol may also help with certain stains, although we do not recommend using alcohol on printed mats (it can take off the ink). Greasy stains/shiny marks: Get a sponge sudsy with dish soap and scrub. Then, wipe it clean with a wet washcloth. 

General Mat Care:

Clean the mat promptly after use with wet rag and soapy water. Some highly pigmented foods, such as koolaid, wine, spaghetti sauce, etc. may stain your mat. Avoid acrylic paints, markers, and pens and scissors. We are not responsible for ink stains or cuts.Do not machine wash or iron.Place in warm sun for an hour or so to remove wrinkles. We also recommend using a hand steamer on the back of the mat to get stubborn wrinkles out.Make sure mat is 100% completely dry before folding to store. We are not responsible for moldy mats.
