An integral part of our design process is to incorporate the highest quality materials that are appropriate for each individual application. All materials in our line have been tested by a third party accredited lab and either meet or exceed all U.S. and country specific standards for child safety.
Indoor Cuddle-Ups® Pillows are made with an easy-care soft polyester fabric cover. Covers are wrinkle resistant, water repellent and can be removed for machine washing and drying. Pillows under 17″ are filled with a comfy polyester fiber fill and those over 17″ are filled with top quality shredded foam for added support.
Outdoor Pillows are made with a heavy duty nylon pack cloth which is perfect for use on outdoor surfaces. In addition to the durable water repellent coating, the covers also feature both a zipper and strong hook & loop closure to keep moisture away from the shredded foam filling.
Discovery Pathways® Climbers and Soft Play items are made of a variety of durable upholstery cover materials including laminated vinyl which is extremely strong, expanded vinyl which has a faux leather appearance and superior abrasion resistance and most recently Polyurethane which has a homey look and feel and is completely PVC free. All foam shapes are filled with polyurethane foam.
Bean Bags are made of traditional bean bag vinyl that has been double-stitched in our process for extra durability. Bags are filled with cushiony polystyrene beads enclosed with a double safety locking zipper.
Mirrors are made of acrylic which is the ideal option for maximum clarity while being shatter resistant. Our mirrors are laser cut to provide super smooth edges. A special sub-surface printing process ensures that inks are kept away from curious little fingers.
