Everything You Need To Know About Suuthe: The UK’s First Sensory Mat For Babies

Transitioning from the womb to the world can be difficult for your baby, especially when it comes to napping. The Suuthe SmartMat is a new revolutionary product built to help. Designed and made in the UK by ex-Rolls-Royce engineers, its aim is to calm restless babies by mimicking the comforting sounds and sensations of the womb.

Introducing the Suuthe SmartMat

The fourth trimester is characterised as the settling-in period for your baby and refers to the first three months of a newborn’s life. Babies can find the outside world a very unsettling place during this time, being overwhelmed with unfamiliar sights, smells and sounds. This in turn, can disrupt sleep.

Suuthe was founded after first-time parent Alex found that no matter what he did to help, his baby would not settle to nap. A quick Google lead to the conclusion that there was a huge gap in the market for a trustworthy product that would be baby-safe, and adept at lulling our littlest ones into a restful sleep.

18 months later, the UK’s first sensory mat for babies, the Suuthe SmartMat was born.

How does the SmartMat work?

The Suuthe SmartMat emulates the calm and familiar sensations of a mother’s womb with the goal of sending your baby into blissful golden slumbers. It has two unique modes to choose from: white noise with a gentle vibration or heartbeat sounds with a matching heartbeat pulse. Simply choose the mode to match your baby’s mood and let the soothing consistency of the Suuthe SmartMat help your baba drift off to sleep.

What is the SmartMat made of?

The Suuthe SmartMat is CE certified and made from non-toxic luxury materials suitable for even the most delicate skin.

The SmartMat includes a super soft cotton upper and a removable, washable outer cover in case of any accidents. Being water-resistant, it won’t be phased by any accidental spills or leaks, and while the inner foam mat is not machine washable, it can be wiped easily clean with a damp cloth.

Is it safe for my baby to use?

The Suuthe SmartMat is a premium product, designed, assembled and tested in the UK to the highest possible standards. It’s CE certified, so you can rest assured it’s completely safe for your baby. There’s a clever auto shut-off that ensures the SmartMat automatically switches off after 25 minutes so it’s always off when not in use.

It’s suitable for newborns right up until six months old, and it can be used for longer if necessary. It’s worth noting, however, this product is not recommended for overnight use.

Heelys Rolls Into Spring With New Collection

Heelys, the original two-in-one wheely shoe launched in 2000, is preparing for the upcoming Easter holidays with its new spring collection. Ideal for encouraging an active, healthy lifestyle, the stylish designs will ensure kids (big and small) will roll through the holidays with ease.

The collection consists of 19 designs, including three brand new Heelys shapes: Reserve Ex, Reserve Low and Pro 20 Half Flood. The Reserve Ex has a basketball shoe style, while the Reserve Low and Pro 20 Half Flood tap into the current Y2K trend for an extra chunky sole.

Match your Heelys to your mood, with designs split across two main aesthetics – a darker colour scheme vs. a lighter, spring-inspired palette. Think camouflage print, graffiti text and paint drips contrasting with pastel colours, tie-dye, metallic laces, foil and rainbow print.

Available in the UK and Europe on the Heelys website and retailers, the collection is available in sizes C12-7 across single or two-wheeled styles. RRPs range from £49.99 to £69.99.
