I'm so thrilled to announce that The Gilded Bird won the Best Overall award in the Independent's Best Changing Mats 2022 review.
How did they do the testing?
In order to find the crème de la crème of changing mats, they put a range of different types to the test, from travel-friendly ones that are convenient to use on the go, to basket versions that promise to complement your nursery.
They considered everything from cushioning levels and safety features to portability, how easy they were to clean and cost, with extra points awarded for stylish design.
This is what they had to say about The Gilded Bird..
Best: Overall
Rating: 10/10
If you want a stylish nursery, your changing mat can actually be a really easy way to add a splash of colour or a fun print, and we love this wedge version for doing just that. An Insta-worthy changing mat if we ever saw one, it’s designed by independent brand The Gilded Bird and, while there are lots of motifs to choose from, this wildlife one is our top pick. In addition to its good looks, this is one of the thickest mats we tried. Made from super dense foam that’s standard for baby mattresses in the UK, your baby will love the extra cushioning during change times and the sides are also a really good height, which helps keep baby positioned in the middle. Despite its chunkiness, the mat is lightweight, making it easy to move around the house, too. Coated in non-toxic PVC, it’s also fully wipeable, making it a breeze to clean.
