The Snug Rug Company

A Snug Rug is a modern take on the traditional Japanese tatami mat, featuring a soft velvet top layer, a waterproof membrane, followed by a middle layer of High Elastic PuffySponge™, and an anti-slip backing. These rugs provide a cushioned, luxurious surface for any home​.

The Snug Rug Company has partnered with the wonderful and multi-award winning Momomi Japan to bring these amazing waterproof rugs to the UK for the first time!

There isn’t anything else like this on the market in the UK. Snug Rugs are an amazing hybrid between a rug and a playmat. They have all the functionalities of a playmat (waterproof & wipe clean) with all the warmth and comfort of a rug. They only require a regular vacuum on a low setting and a spot clean as required if there are any spills. No liquids can get past the waterproof membrane and into the rug.

The majority of woven rugs and playmat in the UK are 10mm thick. Our rugs are 30mm thick!

Snug Rugs by Momomi Japan are built to last and are a wonderful addition to any home!

Making Snug Rugs a very adaptable product to busy homes. There really isn’t anything on the market the same as them!

Snug Rugs are expertly crafted with three layers of high-quality materials to provide the perfect combination of comfort, durability and style.

The top layer is made from super soft short velvet with a water resistant coating providing a luxurious and plush feel underfoot.

The middle layer is made with exclusive High Elastic PuffySpongeTM, a revolutionary material that sets them apart from other rugs on the market.

High Elastic PuffySpongeTM is a unique foam material that provides a luxurious and comfortable feel underfoot. The sponge-like texture of the material makes it soft and plush, allowing it to conform to the shape of your feet and provide a cushioned surface for you and your family to enjoy.

But the benefits of High Elastic PuffySponge don't stop there. This innovative material is also highly durable, easy to clean and resistant to wear and tear. Ensuring your rug will look and feel great for years to come.

Finally the bottom layer is an anti-slip backing, ensuring your rug stays in one place on any surface.

Our rugs have passed the European Safety Standard EN71-3 + A2, Azocolorants and Azodyes - Entry 43 OF Annex XVII To (EC) NO. 1907/2006, making them safe for babies, adults and pets alike.

You can have peace of mind knowing that our rugs meet the highest safety standards and are free from any harmful chemicals. So go ahead and snuggle up with your little ones and furry four legged friends on our cosy and safe rugs.

IMPORTANT:

Please do not leave babies unattended on a Snug Rug. The rugs are very soft, and babies should be monitored so they can breathe freely and do not roll over and get stuck on a soft surface that could pose a breathing hazard.

The dyes we use are eco-friendly, non-toxic, free from AZO and other harmful chemicals. The production process minimises the impacts from effluent release on the planet. Our dyes are bright, bold, and most importantly, better for the future of our planet, child safe and pet friendly.

Keep your Snug Rug looking great is easy with these simple tips:

• Vacuum your Snug Rug regularly to remove any dust, dirt, or debris that may have accumulated on the surface
• For any spills or stains, please clean as soon as possible. Liquids will not be absorbed into the foam because of the waterproof membrane
• Use a damp, soft cloth, a bowl of warm water, and a small amount of washing up liquid to clean up any stains or spills. Wipe over with clean water and let the rug dry at room temperature
• You can use any cleaning products you see fit as long as they do not contain bleach

Your Snug Rug will be delivered to you vacuum-packed to protect the material from damage during shipping.

Once it has arrived, open the seal of the vacuum packaging and watch it unfold. It usually takes 7 - 10 days for your rug to fully puff up depending on the size of rug.

Please give your rug a vacuum (on a low setting if your vacuum has settings) a few times to get the air circulating inside the rug.

You may see creases at first, but don’t be alarmed, they will slowly disappear as your rug puffs up.    

Don't be alarmed if you notice creases when your rug first unfolds, as they will disappear as your rug puffs up over time! It will take up to 10 days, depending on the size of rug for your rug to puff up completely.

Larger rugs take longer to puff up due to their size.

Please vacuum your rug a few times after opening to get the air circulating inside the rug.

You can start using your rug straight away!
