Everyday Mat | Clay

It’s the mat you didn’t know you needed, until your child’s latest art project (or snack time) left your table sticky, stained, or scratched.

We all want to encourage creativity at home - painting, gluing, snacking, and building papier-mâché volcanoes. But most mats are too small, too thin, or slide around.

That’s why we created the Everyday Mat: a generously sized, spill-proof, wipe-clean mat with a non-slip rubber backing. It stays in place, lays completely flat, and protects your surfaces - so your child has a safe, dedicated space to create, and you don’t have to stress about the cleanup.

Most mats are made from thin materials like polyester or vegan leather that bunch, slide, and crease. They are too small to catch all the mess. 

The Everyday Mat stays firmly in place thanks to its rubber backing, lays completely flat and doesn’t crease. It’s generously sized to cover the width of most family tables to capture ALL the mess. It is water proof and wipes clean. Plus, it looks beautiful in your home.

Designed to last over 5 years, it’s also a more sustainable choice that helps reduce waste and overconsumption and better value for your family.

• Parents of messy eaters, mini artists, and curious little creators
• Babies just starting solids 
• Toddlers discovering spaghetti
• Teens who still love to sketch at the kitchen table
• Anyone who’s ever said, “Just do it at the table” (and regretted it a little)
• Families juggling meals, crafts, Play-Doh, and homework sometimes all at once
• Design-lovers who want calm, not chaos
• People finally carving out time for that dream collage, sewing project, or journal spread

Made for everyday life. Styled for your space.

From baby weaning to tween crafting - and even your own creative projects - the Everyday Mat’s got your back (and your table).

Yes. It's made from non-toxic vinyl and has been independently tested to meet US Toy Safety Standards (ASTM F963) , It’s free from phthalates, BPA, lead, formaldehyde, and heavy metals. It’s 100% PFAS free.

Totally. Whether it’s sketching, slime-making, or just a clean spot to work on homework, older kids love having their own space to create, without ruining the table underneath.

From 4 months to teens. It grows with your child, from first bites to big ideas.

As mums, we wanted to say YES to creativity - painting, pasta, Play-Doh - but not the chaos that followed. Every mat we tried was too small, too flimsy, or slid around. Most were thin polyester or vegan leather, and none looked good in our homes.

So we made one that did.

The Everyday Mat is generously sized, wipe-clean, and actually stays put—so kids can create freely, and your table or floor, (and sanity) stay protected.

So easy. Just wipe it down with a damp cloth.

Yes. Spills, splashes, and sticky fingers are no match. Liquids stay on the surface, making them easy to wipe away.

Yep. It’s designed to catch all the chaos. No more markers bleeding through paper or food mess damaging your dining table.

The Everyday Mat is made from a premium, non-toxic PVC, but not the kind that gave PVC a bad reputation.

We use a new-generation PVC that’s completely free from harmful chemicals like phthalates (known hormone disruptors), as well as BPA, lead, formaldehyde, and other heavy metals. It’s completely PFAS free. 

It’s been independently tested and certified to meet U.S. Toy Safety Standards (ASTM F963), so you can feel confident using it with your baby, toddler, or teen. Everyone on the Lillefolk team uses their mats daily, our kids range from 5 years old to 13 years old

So while it’s technically PVC, it’s a safe, modern version. Rigorously tested, family-safe, and built to last.

Nope, this mat actually stays put. Thanks to the grippy rubber backing, it lays flat and doesn’t shift or bunch, no matter how much activity is happening on top.

It’s a generous 38” x 39.4” (96.5cm x 100cm). Big enough to cover the messy zone, but not so big it takes over your table. It’s easy to roll up and tuck away when you’re done, or you can leave it out, whatever suits your space. 

It’s been designed to fit the most common widths of American dining tables, 38” and 40”. (The reason why we made it 39.4” not 40” is so it fits Australian dining tables too which happen to be 39.4” or 100cm).

Yes. If you love a clean, calm Scandinavian aesthetic, this mat will fit right in. Nothing bold or flashy, just beautifully soft, neutral tones. It’s designed to blend seamlessly with your space, because it truly belongs there.
