Highly recommend this mat to anyone!! Great customer service and it’s so soft you could sleep on it. We got the race car track one and my son has played on it everyday since, my other son has just started rolling and he loves being on there and all the bright colours! Be perfect when he starts to walk too. Very happy customer! Show details
Couldn't be happier with my Rugs and Pillows. Came across the designer rug visiting a friend and couldn't get over the softness and comfort and on top of that the price! It is commented on every time someone comes over and walks on it. Loved the large one so much I had to get one for under my work desk and the wheels move quite easy. I can now stand whilst working in comfort! Huge thanks to Carolynne from Muscle Mat for all your help! Show details

Absolutely amazing for our family whom have rambunctious children who love to wrestle and tumble on the mat, we also have a child with cerebral palsy and it is amazing as she is on the floor all day so this is great for her joints and bones. It also provides great support while she is doing therapy and keeping her safe if she forgets to have safe… Read more · 1
hands! If you are in NZ and have a disabled child, it is good to know also that you can use your IF funding to purchase this item. (You will not be told this by the ministry sadly). I also want to not what Ana was super helpful in resolving and issue we had with our Mat, so prompt and so caring in her communication. Well done team
OMG so lush and beautiful! My ‘babies’ (furry ones) absolutely love it and Carolynne was quick to respond to my email as I’m sure she could hear the dogs ‘happy’ snorts from there! Can’t wait to order another one for my guest bedroom! Show details · 1
This rug has exceeded my expectations. It arrived within 48 hours of ordering and I’m going to order 2 more. Maybe more. We love it… Thankyou Muscle Mat! Show details · 3
This is a water magnet. A BIG anaconda that soaks up everything so fast you wouldnt have time to blink. NOT suitable for kids as there a HUGE risk that any impurities would just sit 35mm deep and cause infection in kids. When i reached out to support, they conveniently asked me to return this gigantic carpet at AusPost. I'd rather chuck it in the… Read more
bin instead. BEWARE buyer, this is good for adults who are VERY careful with what they spill. Not for kids 100%. Save yourself some money and buy the Neptune mat. Its really water resistant.
Very good quality Delivery Received Next day of order I will definitely be ordering more in future Very happy with purchase . Highly recommended for a great quality Mat my kid loves it. Thank you Muscle Mat
Beyond happy and pleased with this brand and their customer service!! I stupidly ordered the incorrect size but once it arrived I noticed how amazing the product was and wanted to buy another one for another room. Erin from the team was so helpful and responded to my query within the hour! Not only was she friendly, professional and lovely, she… Read more
was able to come up with a plan for me to get what I needed and save time! I will be buying from this brand again and spreading the good word!! Thanks so much!
Wow super impressed with this beautiful, superbly soft thick mat. Looks fantastic in my lounge, everyone loves it, including our 3 furbabies.Had fantastic customer service from Erin. Do yourself a favour + purchase one of these mats, you won't be disappointed. Check out footprints, shows how thick + soft rug is. Show details
Amazing quality, Excellent customer service and Fast Shipping. I very rarely write reviews on anything so when I do it means I really enjoy the product. The actual rug is amazing we’ve had it for a week now, we had family over for Easter and received so many compliments about it. Funnily enough the rug isn’t the reason I’m leaving a review it is… Read more · 1
the customer service I received from Carolynne, it is so refreshing dealing with real people instead of automated bots and it was lovely to find out that the company is family owned and not some big corporate organisation. I had signed into an account with my old address inputted and Carolynne helped me fix that and still had my order out on time. She kept me up to date with the shipping and went that extra step to double check it had been delivered to me. I have already recommended this company to all my family and friends (that don’t already own a muscle mat) but will highly recommend to anyone looking for a lush affordable comfy rug. My kids love it, they will often choose the rug over the couches lol
A lot of the reviews are of the product straight out of the packaging, when it looks great. I wanted to write one a few months down the line. I’ve had two of the mats (shaggy relax mat and textured mat) after 2-4 months the material starts matting, after 6 months it’s fully matted. It’s more noticeable with the shaggier rug. I guess I’m just… Read more
writing this to let others know - cause I didn’t see any reviews of what it looks like after a few months. Customer service ( Carolynne ) was amazing and they replaced the first rug but it started happening again with the second one after they assured me it was just a product fault the first time.

Love my muscle mat! So soft and nice. Made so well and will definitely be buying another one for the other rooms in my house. Show details · 1

Soooo comfy, soooo soft. We have this rug on floor boards and it doesn't slip or move even with 2 dogs and kids. Was pleasantly surprised with how happy I am. Show details · 1
This mat gets comments from everyone who walks into my classroom. Children visit at playtimes from other classrooms just to sit/lie down on the mat. I actually just bought a second mat (Jan 2026) as I’ve had the first one for a few years and I have a space for a second one - so we have our “mat space” and the older one is a “play mat”.

children in my class can’t keep their hands still as they love stroking the soft texture of the mat’s surface! It is also my dog’s favourite place to sit and wait for me when I go into my classroom on weekends to catch up on my work! Thank you Erin for keeping in touch to check how everything is going. I’ve only ever received great customer service from the team at Muscle Mat.
Excellent customer service from ANA their mats are so lovely I highly recommend them having bought one for myself I decided to buy one for the grandchildren with the racing track on it love it and the cost is so reasonable quality for money Show reply

Made my first order through Muscle Mat for a set of Super King Bedsheets. My package arrived quickly and the sheets are devine! My sheets arrived in an incorrect labeled bag saying “Queen” so I assumed I got the wrong size delivered. I opened the bag to find I had in fact received the correct size but unfortunately was missing the top sheet. … Read more · 1
I emailed customer service and very promptly got a response from Carolynne who provided the most incredible customer service. She genuinely wanted to resolve the issue as soon as possible, was extremely apologetic and wanted to resolve the matter quickly and ensured I was happy with the outcome.
Carolynne very promptly offered to send me a replacement full set of Super King sheets without asking me to send the others back. They arrived shortly after and were correct.
Any company who is determined to ensure their customers are this satisfied deserves public praise. Carolynne went above and beyond with absolutely no hassle. I will not hesitate to order more from Musxle Mat again. Congrats guys, awesome products with awesome service!
Carolynne who helped me out with my order and products is one of the great humans that exist. After close to 9 months of having done research, looked through various elements and then ultimately deciding the proceed with this product she helped with some dispatch delays and was understanding, courteous and responsive to ensure that I was updated… Read more · 1
and informed throughout the whole process. Upon the product arriving (ahead of the timelines she had provided) I realised my error in colour selection which she was more than happy to help with arranging an exchange. Even with postage return issues due to product size she offered solutions to ensure that we could come to a solution and get the colour for the product I needed.
The actual mat itself is one of the most comfortable things I have put my body on. upon setting up and using this it is more comfortable than my actual bed and managed to fall asleep on it and according to Garman tracking had a 'excellent' sleep score.
Wish I had more space in my apartment to get future rug options, and thank you once again to Carolynne for assistance and looking after me throughout order process - deserves a raise or something for they way in which treats the customers
Dangerous product – I had the most terrifying experience with the relax mat I bought from this company. Not only did they mess up by sending me the wrong color, but when I tried to sort it out with their customer service, it felt like hitting a brick wall. They wanted me to foot the bill for returning the incorrect item, which cost more than the mat itself. But the… Read more
real nightmare began once I started using the mat. Within just one week, I ended up getting hurt twice just by sitting on the floor. The mat caused me to bleed, showing how unsafe and unsuitable it actually was, despite being marketed as baby and child-friendly for activities like rolling and sliding. Can you imagine the danger this product poses to innocent little ones?
When I reached out to customer service to flag the hazardous nature of their product, they brushed aside my concerns and made me feel like I was the only one facing these issues, making me doubt my own experience. I strongly urge everyone to steer clear of this product, especially if you have kids or babies who could suffer serious harm from it. This relax mat is a wolf in sheep's clothing, and the company's lackadaisical approach to customer safety is downright alarming. Protect yourself and your loved ones by avoiding this product at all costs.
Positive reviews
This mat is perfect for seniors, lies flat and does not shift once down. This is great in preventing falls by tripping . With sore feet this mat is comforting and gentle to walk on. I use it on top of existing carpet in my rental to safe guard the carpets from any accidents from my pets. The mat is not the cheapest but its cheaper than replacing… Read more
damaged rental carpets. It keeps the floor warm on colder days. Considering all this it far out weighs the price paid. There are cheaper copycats of the rug but I don't think it has the quality or durability of the Muscle Mat. I saved up for one and I am glad I bought one. Great customer service from Carolynne when I ran into problems checking out. Appreciated the emails even on a weekend to help.

Great customer service! Carolynne went out of her way to help with delivery as the wrong address had populated in the system. She was very quick to respond and get our mat delivered to our correct address! Thanks so much, we love our new mat! Show details
The best purchase I’ve made as a first time mum. The mat is so soft. It’s perfect for tummy time and looks great. The customer service from Carolynne was fantastic. Carolynne kept me informed with shipping updates. Show details · 1
Negative reviews
We got the shaggy dark grey muscle mat and don’t get me wrong it is the loveliest thing to lay on and it’s inviting when we got ours we all started to hang out on it and spend more family time. BUT and this is a big BUT… as soon as the mat rug gets dirty it is impossible to clean. The shaggy fibres retain everything that gets into them and then it is no longer nice to have. The concept is great, it was good while it lasted. Until it wasn’t. Show details
It’s OK but not great – the mat is definitely comfortable but it is not stain proof. if you spill liquid it will bead up and wipe away but when my kids drip ice blocks or fling their food around it will stain the mat and not come off with a simple wipe, i am going to try a spot cleaner so hopefully that works, id recommend a darker colour to hide stains
BUYER BEWARE – Buyer Beware – Return Policy is a Scam Order #349358 I purchased the Muscle Matt and returned it because I wasn’t satisfied with the product. I contacted Caroline via email, but she has made it incredibly difficult to process my refund. I returned the item using a private courier without tracking, but I have photographic proof of the warehouse… Read more
staff receiving it. Despite this, she refuses to honor the refund.
I have now contacted their warehouse, who confirmed receiving the return, exposing their lies. Thankfully, I paid through PayPal and will be filing a dispute to get my money back. I am also reporting this to the ACCC for false advertising, as their return policy is deceptive and misleading.
I am very disappointed as a customer and will be sharing this experience across my social media platforms to warn others. Avoid this product and company!"

Learned about muscle mat approximately abput 2+ years ago, we used to babysit a lot foe a friend and they had a muscle mat in which was very comfy to the point that when the baby sleeps we fall asleep as well. Throughout all my friends and family experiencing parenthood, muscle mat was a companion piece in their household, so it was a no brainer… Read more
to purchase one once we had our own bub.
Love their customer service particularly Carolynne! We had a mishap initially with the colour, then with the sizing, I am attributing it to being first time parents and having sleepless nights. They had been very patient and helpful and kept sending follow up emails and even called us to remind us that we need to collect it in the service depot (we missed the final delivery).
Product has been proven and tested through the years for the bubs me and my husband babysit. My husband would prefer to be in the muscle mat than our friend's sofa when we visit/babysit. It is safe for bubs to play on, very comfortable to lie on/play on, and very easy to clean especially spills which is a normal occurence when caring for infants.
Definite recommendation! And thank you once again Carolynne for your immense patience and understanding. You are a legend!
Very happy with this purchase! Awesome customer service and very responsive m. Delivery came within 48hours. I got the designer muscle mat and it’s perfect for my place. Soft and very comfy to relax and play on with my little boy. Good price point and value for money as other place Show details · 1
Thank you so much Carolynne. The muscle mat is just wonderful. It looks and feels amazing and adds warmth and texture to the room. The service provided is excellent and delivery very quick. A tactile experience for children who can 't resist lying on it. Just love it. Show details · 1
