Notes from the founder Laura: "I first came across Andrew's work while walking into my local shopping centre and being blown away by a mural that had been painted on one of the entrances. I immediately knew I needed to find out more about the artist and reached out to Centre Management who were generous enough to find out how to contact Andrew and provided details of his social media. We will share the full story via our social media, however here is some information about the artist and the design"

Description:

Dennis by Andrew Dennis: Where Style Meets Comfort!

Introducing the Dennis Snuggle Rug, designed by Andrew Dennis, a masterpiece that combines modern aesthetics with unparalleled comfort. Perfect for babies, toddlers, and kids, this rug redefines playtime, creating a safe and stylish environment for exploration, relaxation, and imaginative adventures. Made with ultra-soft memory foam, the Dennis rug provides an inviting surface that feels like walking on clouds, making it an essential addition to any home. The surface is unlike memory foam playmats of this kind in that the short pile ensure allergens are kept to a minimum whilst maintaining a soft to touch feel. 

A Contemporary Design for Play and Rest:

The Dennis Snuggle Rug features a sleek, contemporary design that effortlessly complements any decor. Its chic colour palette blends soft pinks, deep blues, and bold tones, creating a harmonious atmosphere that is both soothing and stylish. The unique patterns and textures add visual interest, transforming any room into a stylish space that encourages creativity, adventure but also a comfy base for play!

With generous dimensions, the Dennis Snuggle Rug provides ample space for siblings and friends to join in the fun, fostering social interactions and creative play. Parents can feel confident knowing their children have a soft, supportive area to learn and grow.

Key Features:

• Ultra-Soft Memory Foam: The Dennis Snuggle Rug is made from high-quality 35D slow rebound foam, providing an incredibly plush and cloud-like surface. This softness not only enhances comfort but also absorbs impacts, making it the perfect cushion for babies and toddlers as they crawl, play, and explore their surroundings.
• Nonslip Bottom: The rug is equipped with a specially designed nonslip bottom that ensures stability during playtime. This safety feature prevents accidental slips and falls, allowing kids to move freely without the worry of the rug shifting underneath them.
• Easy Maintenance: Designed for busy households, the Dennis Snuggle Rug is easy to maintain. Regular vacuuming keeps it clean and dust-free, while the innovative anti-spill technology allows for quick cleanup of spills and messes. Simply wipe any accidents away with a damp, soapy cloth to keep the rug looking pristine.

Perfect for Kids and Adults Alike:

The Dennis Snuggle Rug’s large size and ultra-soft memory foam make it a versatile addition to any room, offering comfort for everyone. For children, it becomes a safe, cozy area to play, explore, and enjoy sensory stimulation. Adults will appreciate its cloud-like feel underfoot, ideal for moments of rest, yoga, meditation, or just lounging with a good book.

Cleaning and Maintenance:

• Daily Care: Vacuum the rug regularly to keep it dust-free and fresh. This will also help preserve the colors and texture.
• Spill Management: If any liquid spills, quickly wipe it with a damp, soapy cloth. Thanks to the rug’s anti-spill technology, liquids won’t soak in immediately, making it easier to clean.
• Stain Removal: For stubborn stains, use a mild detergent on a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers, as they may damage the rug’s surface.
• Avoid Machine Washing: Machine washing or soaking the rug is not recommended, as it can damage the foam. Stick to spot cleaning for the best care.

Certification You Can Trust!

Your family’s health and safety are our priority. That’s why Dennis Snuggle Rug is made with the highest safety standards. The CertiPUR-US® certified foam ensures that the rug is free from harsh chemicals, while OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certification means the fabric is rigorously tested for safety.

Unpacking & Setup:

• Expansion: Allow 48–72 hours for the rug to start to expand after unrolling.
• Wrinkles: For smoothness, use a low-heat iron with a cotton towel over the rug or gently steam it.

Note: Your rug has been vacuum-sealed for shipping and may take a few days to fully expand to its original shape and softness. There will be some more stubborn creases that may take several days to start to soften. Please note this does impact the quality of the product.
