How we choose the best baby changing mats:

Our  Mother&Baby awards  are renowned in the industry for being one of the most highly respected product awards for baby and parenting products, and every year, we arrange for thousands of independent mum reviewers to test the latest products on the market.

Awards testers are asked to score the product they are reviewing in four areas: usability, design, quality and value for money. Each product is scored out of 10 with each of these areas in mind, and the final score determines which products make the coveted bronze, silver and gold spots in that product category.

One reviewer said: "Honestly this mat has made travelling so easy!!! the concept is so practical and well thought out, and it fits perfectly in my travel bag without taking up space. The section for wipes is a little bit loose but not a big deal. I've even travelled abroad with it now. Best purchase."

With high sides for safety as well as Phthalate-free PVC material against baby's skin, this CuddleCo Rainbow Changing Mat is ideal.

One reviewer said: "This was ordered for my granddaughter, and my daughter is thrilled with it.

Another said: "Good quality changing mat. happy with the cute cloud print. Arrived quickly, would recommend."

  • Lots of design options

  • Not the most wiggle-resistant

One reviewer said: "I bought this for both my children. I used this with my older daughter and I totally loved the fact that my baby did not roll over when I changed her. Lovely pattern and high quality. So I bought this again with my second child. Totally worth the money and I have recommended to my friends."

  • Made in the UK
  • Softly padded 
  • Only comes in one design

4. Mama Shack Changing Basket Mat Liner

Best changing basket mat liner.

mamashack.co.uk

Changing baskets are everywhere right now but to be practical, they require a suitable liner to keep your baby comfortable as you change them. Most suitable for use in a nursery, this stylish liner from Mama Shack is padded with British-manufactured foam, free of TCPP and covered with comfy phthalate-free, non-toxic PVC.

Reviewed by Reviews Editor Emily Gilbert: "I loved the idea of a changing basket but so many came with liners that were thin, cotton and frankly a bit useless when it came to a messy nappy! I was so pleased to find Mama Shack as not only do the liners come in gorgeous designs you can match to your nursery theme but they're comfortable for baby too."

  • Requires a changing basket

5. Mamas & Papas Essential Changing Mat - Animal Alphabet

www.mamasandpapas.com

With wipe-clean material, this Mamas & Papas Essential Changing Mat comes in a variety of different designs. As well as thick, comfy padding, this mat is designed to fit Mamas & Papas dressers and cot top changers.

One reviewer said: " I bought this one month ago for my grandson and it's perfect. The quality of the padding plus the beautiful design really helps to keep the grandson happy while having nappy changes. My grandson is very long but this mat is a great length with plenty of room for him to grow into. It's definitely worth the money "

  • Wipe clean PVC
  • Reversible design
  • Not the easiest to travel with

6. Mama Shack Anti-Roll Changing Mat

Best anti-roll baby changing mat.

www.kidly.co.uk

We're loving the gorgeous designs of the Mama Shack anti-roll changing mat (trust us, they're made for Instagram). Made with a wipeable, phthalate-free PVC cover and filled with thick supportive foam, it's got raised sides to help your baby stay in the centre and feel more secure during nappy changes.

One reviewer said: "Our newborn loves this mat! I think because it’s black and white he likes looking at all the spots, so he’s very happy being on the mat after he’s been changed which gives me extra time to get jobs done! So I’m very happy with this purchase."

  • Designed to prevent rolling
  • Suitable from birth
  • Not the most compact

7. Splash About Baby Neoprene Changing Mat

Best roll up baby changing mat.

As Amazon's choice for the best swimming changing mat, and a Mother&Baby award-winning product, the Splash About changing mat has a lot of perks that make it a strong contender for the best changing mat; it's antibacterial, non-slip, easy-to-clean, rolls-up easily for carrying, and is incredibly budget-friendly too.

If you'd prefer a more compact baby changing mat compared to a roll up one, then the Bambio Mio Changing Mat would be a better alternative.

Tested by mum Rachel Robinson Tingle for the M&B Awards 2016: "I really liked this mat and thought the price was great value for money. It rolls up, so it's easy to put away in my swimming bag for the little one. It's very comfy and soft, grips well, and dries really quickly after use."

Read our full Splash About Anti Bacterial Changing Mat review

8. East Coast Diamonds Baby Changing Mat

Best patterned baby changing mat.

For something more vibrant, try this East Coast Diamonds Baby Changing Mat. There are lots of colourful designs available to easily match your nursery decor, plus some more muted options if you prefer a neutral colour palette. We love this bold geometric print, sure to bring a pop of colour! Padded, wipe-clean, and designed to fit most baby-changing dressers, you can't really go wrong with this one.

However, if you prefer a more subtle design, you might prefer the Silvercloud Counting Sheep Changing Mat.

One reviewer said: "Bought this as a gift for my new nephew and it’s just what you’d expect from a good quality mat. Easy to clean and comfy for baby, not the flimsy kind that comes with a changing bag." Another reviewer said: "Excellent product. Bought for my niece as she is expecting her first baby soon. The colour is vibrant and the mat seems sturdy. Delivery was quick and efficient. Very happy all round."

  • Padded for comfort
  • Designed to fit most dressers
  • A more basic design

9. Bambino Mio Changing Mat

Best compact baby changing mat.

This awesome portable and foldable Bambino Mio Changing Mat has absorbent inner padding as opposed to a sleek wipe-clean version that can catch and absorb anything that escapes the nappy. While you can't wipe it down to keep it clean, you can then throw it in the washing machine and tumble dryer, ready for the next use. It also comes in not one or two but eight different funky designs to choose from.

This compact baby changing mat is ideal for travel, and another great changing mat for traveling is the Lekebaby Portable Nappy Changing Mat Travel Baby Change Mat.

One reviewer said: "So pleased with this change mat. So easy to fold/unfold, it fits perfectly in changing bag and it is soft on inside so baby is comfortable when being changed. I love that it is machine washable, ours has been through wash multiple times and still in great condition! 100% recommend"

  • Compact and lightweight
  • Absorbent inner padding 
  • Not wipeable

10. Ceba Baby - Baby Changing mat

Best high sided baby changing mat.

Featuring the cutest print designs, this changing mat by Ceba Baby has supportive padding and is designed to be portable too. As well as high sides to stop baby from rolling, baby will be more than comfortable getting their nappy changed on this lovely mat!

One reviewer said: "Purchased as one of the few available for Polini changing table adapter IKEA and I must admit it fits perfectly, excellent material and compliant sizes." Another said: "Nice big (you need a maxi changing table!) , with raised edges that allow you to be more relaxed while changing the child without the risk of hitting your head hard. The design is definitely nice, in line with a Nordic style bedroom. Very easy to clean given the material."

  • Designed with safety in mind
  • Adorable design selection
  • Could be more durable

11. Skip Hop Pronto Changing Station Bag

Best baby changing mat with pillow.

The versatile Pronto changing bag from Skip Hop has an expanding extra-wide changing pad which can be wiped clean, and there's even a comfortable little pillow for baby's head. It has a convenient strap attached, there are two inside pockets and one on the outside for changing essentials, and the design is modern and fun and doesn't scream "baby changing mat".

One reviewer said: "One of my best baby buys. I take this everywhere, it provides a nice cushion for baby when he's being changed and means I can change him literally anywhere. It's also good to take into baby changes as it provides protection from the often dirty changing tables and means you don't need to take the whole changing bag in with you as you can easily keep wipes, nappies etc inside this."

  • Attaches to stroller
  • Includes zip pockets
  • Some reviewers noted not receiving the correct colours

12. Silvercloud Counting Sheep Changing Mat

Best gender-neutral baby changing mat.

www.very.co.uk

The Silvercloud Counting Sheep Changing Mat was designed to fit and sit perfectly atop a baby changing unit. It's several inches thick, which means it's nice and comfy for babies, and it comes in a nice and subtle unisex sheep design to go with any décor. To clean this waterproof mat, just wipe it down with a damp cloth.

One reviewer said: "Bought for my friend as a baby shower gift and she loved it very cute design and good quality."

  • Waterproof design
  • Not as durable as others

13. My Babiie Dani Dyer Changing Mat 

Best baby changing mat print.

www.babyplanetonline.co.uk

A Dani Dyer favourite with a gorgeous statement design. We can see these being quick to sell out. With the adorable print, full of personality plus padding and high sides - this one is an amazing addition to the nursery. The only downside is the reverse of the mat is not patterned, so you can't reverse the mat.

Review : "Lovely changing mat, I love the print and it feels very good quality." Another reviewer said: "I brought this extra changing mat to go under our next to me crib and its lovely, I wanted to get something which was neutral and could be used again."

  • Easy wipe clean
  • Soft and comfortable
  • Plain on the back (no pattern)

14. Baby Me Super Thin Diaper Changing Mat 

Best award-winning baby changing mat.

ebebek.co.uk

The Baby Me Super Thin Diaper Changing Mat was awarded Bronze for Best Product For A Newborn 0-4 months  at the Mother&Baby Awards 2024 .

The Baby Me Super Thin Diaper Changing Mat is extremely soft and kind to skin giving you peace of mind when using it with your child. They quickly retains moisture, with a cellulose layer providing effective hygiene control to coordinate reliable experience when changing nappies or to use for extra protection while sleeping.

Our mum tester said: "I’ll be honest, when they arrive I expected super basic simple disposable changing mats but these are so much nicer! Not only do the have nice patterns but they are unbelievably soft and super handy! My daughter had some nappy free time and they are so absorbent that there were now spillages, at all!"

Read our full Baby Me Super Thin Diaper Changing Mat review.

  • Gentle on skin
  • Great designs

What to look for in a baby changing mat

There are a few things to consider when choosing a baby changing mat:

• How easy is it to clean? • What material is it? • Is it comfortable? • How big is it? • Does it have anti-roll sides? • Is it easy to store?

One of the most important things to look out for when choosing a baby changing mat is that it's easy to clean. Whether it's a wipe-down version or one you can easily pop in the washing machine, it's highly likely it will get dirty more than once! The best mats are ones that you don't have to spend hours cleaning.

Another necessity is that it has adequate material and padding for the baby's comfort. Sometimes, changing your newborn's nappy on a hard floor or surface is unavoidable, so it can help you to be prepared. Other factors to consider are size, high sides for safety, whether it folds for storage purposes, or whether it's portable for when you're on the go.

Is it necessary to have changing mats?

Many people may say that it's essential, but you don't have to buy a changing mat - you can simply use a muslin or a towel instead. However, it is often much more hygienic, comfortable and safe to use a changing mat as it's a designated place to change your little one.

Should you change your baby on the floor?

Ideally, it's much safer to change your baby on the floor, as they don't have anywhere to fall. However, if you are planning on using a baby changing unit, we recommend purchasing a wedged baby changing mat (or an anti-roll baby changing mat) to prevent them from wriggling or hitting their head.

Never leave them unattended and make sure you have your nappies, lotion and wipes with you before you begin.

How many changing mats do I need?

Usually, having two nappy changing mats would be more than enough. Ideally, you might have one that you can store in a changing box ready to grab when you need it. It's also great to have a portable or foldable one to take with you on your travels that you can easily pop into your changing bag. That way, you're always prepared when baby needs changing when you're out and about.

Having a spare one around might not hurt, either. Maybe baby sometimes stays with grandparents who might not have a changing mat to use, so having one for this purpose might be handy. Whether or not you need a changing mat is up for debate. However, they're often the most hassle-free option.

With wipeable material, padding to support the baby's head and provide cushioning from hard surfaces, and high sides to stop baby from rolling off (and, of course, all the cute designs!), we honestly can't think of a better option.

How we test the best changing mats

Our Mother&Baby Awards are renowned in the industry for being one of the most highly respected product awards for baby and parenting products, and every year, we arrange for thousands of independent mum reviewers to test the latest products on the market.

Our independent mums review the products based on their usability, design, quality, and value for money. Reviewers give us qualitative feedback on their experience with the product, which our team of journalists review to decide our recommended products.

From all this work, our best baby changing mats are chosen and listed above in our finalised and definitive list of the best baby baby changing mats, one for each key category, along with the quotes we found to be most useful when choosing our selection.

Our editorial team is also constantly looking for new baby changing mats to test so that we can help you find the best - be that a cheaper product that we want to test for value for money or the latest baby innovation.

It’s fair to say that it is one of the most used baby kit essentials.

As well as for the obvious nappy changes, changing mats are also used when dressing babies each morning and drying them after their evening bath. Plus, they’re often a handy place for your little one to practice a bit of tummy time or receive a relaxing baby massage from you.

But while it may seem like more of a practical purchase, rather than an aesthetic one, there are now so many beautiful changing mats around, ensuring that your little one can be changed in comfort, while your nursery or living space can still look stylish too.

Plus, while you may initially think that all mats do the same job, there are a variety of different styles on the market, from luxury changing baskets to practical wedge-shaped designs.

Some things to think about when deciding on a baby changing mat is where you will store it and how much space you have for it. It should be made out of a waterproof or washable material, for those inevitable little accidents. Finally, with so many different designs available, consider the décor of the space where the mat will be kept and look for something which will complement it.

Consider whether you need a travel changing mat . With pockets for a couple of nappies and some wipes, these are great space savers and often mean you don’t have to take a big nappy bag out for shorter trips.

To help you decide, whether you’re looking for the perfect mat for your baby’s nursery or the ideal one to slip into your bag, we’ve searched around to find 10 of the best baby changing mats.

Mama Shack Banana Leaf Changing Mat

travel changing mat mamas papas

Just because changing mats are functional, doesn’t mean they can’t be stylish. That’s the idea behind Mama Shack, which designs changing mats with the latest interior and nursery trends in mind.

With options from boho palms to terrazzo prints, we loved this unisex watercolour banana leaf print, which would look great in both a nursery or living room setting.

Made in the UK, this changing mat has an extra thick layer of foam in the centre for additional support, which also makes it great for tummy time.

Waterproof and wipe clean, this will make nappy changes fuss-free. Plus, we were pleasantly surprised at the price of this stylishly designed mat.

The brand’s ‘wedge’ anti-roll mats are available at Kidly .

Mamas & Papas Dream Upon A Cloud Luxury Changing Mattress

travel changing mat mamas papas

With its charming cloud-shaped pillow, this super cute changing mat will look lovely in any nursery setting.

Designed to coordinate with the rest of the Mamas & Papas Dream Upon a Cloud range, this mat features a removable and washable towelling insert for any little accidents which may occur.

When testing it out, we found it to be really soft and comfortable for the baby. We also thought this was a really nice unisex design, so ideal for a baby shower gift.

One thing that is worth noting is that the mat cover itself is cotton, but this can also be removed and washed.

JoJo Maman Bebe Leopard print travel changing mat

travel changing mat mamas papas

When you’re heading out on a quick trip with your little one, there’s nothing more annoying than having to lug around a big, bulky changing bag. So this handy travel changing mat is a great substitute.

With two zipped pockets and one mesh pouch, we found it to be the perfect size to hold two nappies, a packet of wipes and some nappy bags. It then folds up into a neat rectangle, with a Velcro fastening, which can be popped into a handbag or under the pram. Alternatively, it also has a velcro strap which can be used to attach it to the outside of a bag or pushchair.

When needed, you can simply fold out the mat, which has an EVA foam lining, making it easy to wipe over when finished.

Ickle Bubba Bunnychino Deluxe Changing Mat

travel changing mat mamas papas

If you’re aiming to create a neutral nursery, this sweet Ickle Bubba Bunnychino mat is a great option.

It comes with a soft towelling insert to keep the baby comfortable and a removable washable cover for easy cleaning. Plus the padded pillow will be sure to keep your little one’s head protected during nappy changes.

Part of the Bunnychino nursery collection, it fits in nicely with the rest of the range.

Bumbo Changing Pad

travel changing mat mamas papas

From the makers of the Bumbo seat, this changing pad is a clever alternative to the standard changing mat.

Ergonomically designed with little ones in mind, the Bumbo changing pad is made from foam which has been contoured to support the baby’s head, neck and legs. It also comes with a safety belt to keep your baby in place during changes.

Another plus point to this design is that it is easy to clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent.

It’s available in six different colours, so will be easy to match to any nursery design. Plus the Bumbo Stages Safari adjustable play centre can be attached to the changing pad to form a fun activity gym.

John Lewis Star Print Wedge Changing Mat

travel changing mat mamas papas

If you have a little roller during nappy changes, this wedge-shaped changing mat may be just what you need.

Made in the UK, this John Lewis changing mat is uniquely shaped so that the cushioning is deeper at the edges to keep your baby in the middle.

As well as feeling soft and padded, this mat feels really durable and seems as though it will be a good option as your baby grows.

The neutral star print will work well in any nursery and it’s easy to wipe clean after any little accidents.

DockATot Clutch Changer - Luxe

travel changing mat mamas papas

If you’re looking for a mat which can cover all bases when you’re out, the DockATot Clutch Changer may just tick the box.

This portable mat has four built-in pockets to hold nappies, wipes and even a change of clothes.

Designed to be discreet, the changer comes in a variety of designs ranging from leopard print to camouflage. It can be carried using either the wrist strap or the top handle.

Made from luminous sateen, it is easy to wipe over and the changing mat can also be removed from the rest of the bag by unzipping it.

Mama Shack Seagrass Changing Basket

travel changing mat mamas papas

If you’re after something totally different for your nursery, this handwoven basket would be a beautiful addition.

The seagrass basket has high sides to keep your baby secure during nappy changes and there is a choice of different designed wipeable mat liners to go inside it, ranging from safari print to woodland animals.

Plus, when your little one no longer needs nappy changes, the basket can be reused for storage.

An additional £19 for the Changing Basket Mat Liner .

Rubbastuff Lollipop Solo Pacmat

travel changing mat mamas papas

If you’re heading off on an adventure and space is at a premium, then the rubbastuff Pacmat is a perfect multi-use mat.

Designed to be used as a compact picnic blanket, which can double as a changing mat, this is a real space-saver on days out.

Weighing just 210g, it rolls up really small into a stuff bag. It has a soft polyester surface and a water-proof nylon base and is machine washable.

Made in Britain, the Pacmat is available in a number of fun designs, including a baby friendly black and white animal print. However, our favourite is this fun ice lolly one which is illustrated by Gabby Malpas.

Rachel Riley Bunny Changing and Play Mat

travel changing mat mamas papas

Children’s clothes designer Rachel Riley has collaborated with nursery brand Clair de Lune to create this changing mat, which doubles up as a play mat.

Rather than the usual plastic covered mat, this one is made from 100 per cent cotton, filled with polyester so is really soft and comfortable for babies, particularly newborns.

It also includes a removable terry towelling top layer which can be taken off, so baby can play on the mat.

The cute grey rabbit design is perfect for a unisex nursery or baby shower gift.

When testing this mat we found it to be a good space saving option, as it can be folded neatly in half and packed away into the zip-up carry bag it comes in.

Lekebaby Portable Nappy Changing Mat

travel changing mat mamas papas

Best for: Storage space

Material: Water-resistant polyester

Folded dimensions: 22×35cm

Unfolded dimensions: 63 × 35cm

Storage: Three inner pockets and a zipped outer pocket

If you’re looking for a portable changing mat that can house all your essentials without taking up valuable space in your bag or pushchair, the Lekebaby Portable Changing Mat is an excellent choice.

A number one bestseller on Amazon and with good reason, the Lekebaby Portable Nappy Changing Mat features four generously sized storage areas. As well as the zipped pocket on the outside, there are also three interior pockets including a mesh pouch, a pocket suitable for a handful of nappies and a large wipe pocket with a convenient wipe dispenser. The mat is a good size, offering good longevity and plenty of space for your baby as they grow.

The padding on the large fold-out changing mat is relatively thin, but you’ll find extra cushioning at the top, creating a soft and comfortable pillow to rest your baby’s head. When full, this fold-up changing mat is inevitably a little more bulky than some, however, we love the convenient carry handle, which can be suspended from the handlebar of your stroller with ease.

Skip Hop Pronto Changing Station

travel changing mat mamas papas

Best for: Changing bag alternative

Material: Polyester

Folded dimensions : 22 x 28 x 2.5cm

Unfolded dimensions: 54.6 x 0.6 x 91.4cm

Storage: Front zipper pocket and mesh pocket

Last but not least, if you’re willing to spend a little more, this Skip Hop Pronto Changing Station makes a great alternative to your changing bag, with plenty of storage including a wipes case, mesh pocket and a front zipped pocket to the exterior.

With a modern monochrome zig-zag design, we love how the translucent wipes case helps you keep track of your supplies, and that there’s enough space to house a good stash of nappies and creams. The carry handle makes it lightweight and portable, but it can also be attached to your pushchair for a hands-free alternative.

With an extra wide removable changing mat, it’s spacious and be used with older babies, even including a cushioned head area with a ‘pronto pillow’ to keep your little one content and comfortable when they lie down. The only downside, the fastening clip is a little harder to open one-handed than options such as the Storksak Organic.

For a stylish, practical mat at a good price point, treat yourself to the Mama Shack Banana Leaf Changing Mat . It is well-made and comfortable for baby, plus it will fit in nicely with your room décor and won’t stand out like a sore thumb. However, if you’re looking for something which can be used for both nappy changes and play time, opt for the Bumbo Changing Pad which will be a great addition to any nursery.

As a parent you spend a lot of time changing nappies – as many as 10 or 12 times a day for young babies – so it’s important to ensure you have all the necessary tools to help make the process as stress-free as possible.

Whether you’re at home or out and about, a changing mat is essential to getting the job done as quickly (and with as little mess) as possible, while also ensuring your baby is safe and comfortable.

But, what exactly should you be looking for? One of the most important things to consider when choosing a changing mat is how easy it is to clean, so make sure to opt for either a wipe-down version or one you can pop in the washing machine.

Size also matters. If you’re planning to place your mat on a changing table or dresser, check the measurements before making your purchase, or if you’re planning to use it for travel, you’ll want to make sure you opt for a more compact design that can be folded down.

The Gilded Bird wildlife wedge mat

The Gilded Bird wildlife wedge mat indybest.jpg

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.

Avery Row seagrass baby changing basket

Avery Row seagrass baby changing basket indybest.jpg

Best: Changing basket

This beautiful changing basket is definitely a statement piece, fitting perfectly into the interior of your home as well as being a lovely place to lay your little one. Handwoven from seagrass, the basket is sturdy with raised sides to help keep your wriggly baby in position, and it also features thick handles for extra durability. It’s worth noting that you’ll need to invest in a basket liner, too. Sold separately, there are plenty of colour and print options to choose from including a neutral woodland walk design (£20, Avery-row.com ) and this elegant peaches motif (£20, Avery-row.com ). Whichever you fancy, all of Avery Row’s liners feel luxuriously soft as they’re made from organic cotton and feature light padding with a quilted texture for extra comfort and support. They’re also machine washable, making accidents or spillages easy to remedy. It may not be the most affordable option, but once your little one no longer needs it for nappy changes, we think the basket would make for great storage of blankets and toys, or even laundry.

Shnuggle squishy baby changing mat

Shnuggle squishy baby changing mat indybest.jpg

Best: Anti-roll mat

Rating: 9.5/10

A changing mat like no other, the Shnuggle squishy is made from a slab of soft, non-toxic and baby-safe PU foam that’s warm to the touch, so there’s no need to put a towel down first. A lot of thought has gone into this design as it not only has a waterproof and wipe-clean surface, making it extremely hygienic with no nooks or crannies for dirt to gather, but it also has an elevated head to help reduce colic and raised sides to prevent baby rolling off. While it’s not the most cheery mat on our list, it’s a great option for minimalists or those looking for something something versatile – we think it’s ideal to use for a spot of baby massage, too.

Mabel & Fox x Abel & The Label changing mat

Mabel & Fox x Abel & The Label changing mat indybest.jpg

Best: Stylish design

Rating: 9/10

Created in collaboration with illustration-led lifestyle brand Abel & The Label, this mat is covered in a colourful ocean print and would make a great addition to an under the sea themed nursery. However, there’s more to this mat than just its stylish design. It has a padded foam base and raised edges, which help your baby feel comfortable and secure. This also means that there are no tricky corners to clean later on and any accidents can be easily wiped clean with warm soapy water. Owing to its popularity, the mat is constantly in and out of stock, but the brand has confirmed it receives deliveries every four to five weeks, so if you do miss out make sure to sign up for email notifications so you can be the first to know when it returns.

Tiba + Marl Etta changing clutch

Tiba + Marl Etta changing clutch indybest.jpg

Best: For travel

Changing your baby – one of the least glamorous parenting jobs – just got a little bit luxurious thanks to this chic clutch. Delivering eye-catching style for the modern-day parent, it’s ideal for when you need a quick and lightweight solution while out and about as it folds out to reveal a sizeable super soft fleece mat for your baby to lie on, which can also be removed for easy washing. Worried about rooting around for wipes and nappies while your baby is not so patiently waiting? Fear not as this mat has handy pockets where you can store everything you need. Despite its larger size, it folds down easily into a compact clutch bag shape and has a wristlet for easy carrying, making it the perfect travelling accessory that can be kept under the buggy or in the car as an additional changing station. You can pick up the clutch in a number of styles including silver (£45, Tibaandmarl.com ), embossed faux python (£45, Tibaandmarl.com ), leopard print (£45, Tibaandmarl.com ) and, our favourite, cream fleece (£45, Tibaandmarl.com ).

Jojo Maman Bébé changing mat

Jojo Maman Bébé changing mat indybest.jpg

Best: Budget changing mat

Rating: 8/10

If you’re of the opinion that there’s not much point spending a huge chunk of money on something you’re likely to be cleaning mess off daily, this budget option is a great choice. There are no bells and whistles here but if you want a good-quality changing mat for everyday use, then you can’t go far wrong. Foam filled for comfort, the mat has a decent amount of padding that feels spongy and soft with slightly turned-up sides for extra support, and comes covered in wipe-clean PVC for easy cleaning. There’s also a huge range of styles to choose from depending on what you like and, while we tried this ditsy floral design (£14, Jojomamanbebe.co.uk ) you can also pick the mat up in bright rainbow (£14, Jojomamanbebe.co.uk ), grey star (£14, Jojomamanbebe.co.uk ), fox (£14, Jojomamanbebe.co.uk ) and koala prints (£14, Jojomamanbebe.co.uk ). At this price, you could also buy one for upstairs and downstairs, so you’re not dashing about at change time.

Little Dutch comfort changing pad

Little Dutch comfort changing pad indybest.jpg

Best: For portability

Rating: 8.5/10

If you’re looking for a mat that you can take with you wherever you go, be it on holiday or a trip to the local café, then consider this portable pad that’s guaranteed to help make the dirty business of nappy changing easier to manage. Made from soft cotton, the mat is lightly padded so your baby is comfortable on any surface, and inside you’ll find a number of practical pockets that fit all the essentials like nappies and wipes. It’s also easily folded, even with one hand, and feels nice and compact, making it great for popping in your handbag. Although this is not a wipeable mat, it is machine washable and can even be ironed at a low temperature, should you be that way inclined.

Mamas & Papas welcome to the world luxury changing mattress

Mamas & Papas welcome to the world luxury changing mattress indybest.jpg

Best: Mat with a pillow

Keep your little one comfy while you change their nappy with this luxury mat. Designed with a thick padded mattress, the cover is made from super soft bamboo cotton with a removable towelling insert in the centre that’s gentle against baby’s sensitive skin, and means there’s no chilly plastic touching their back. We also love that it has a detachable quilted pillow to support your little one’s head, meaning they’ll be cosy and supported when lying down for a change. While a fabric mat might sound like dirty business, the great thing about this option is that the towelling insert and cover are both machine washable, so you can clean it up in a flash. This pink version, which features delicate floral embroidery, is ideal for a girl, but you can also pick it up in grey (£39.20, Mamasandpapas.co.uk ) or blue (£28.90, Mamasandpapas.co.uk ).

Storksak organic change station

Storksak organic change station indybest.jpg

Best: For storing changing essentials

A decent mat can make all the difference at nappy changing time, especially when you’re not in the comfort of your own home, which is why we liked this station from Storksak. Ideal for taking with you on days out, it’s easy to use with one hand as all you need to do is pull open the Velcro tab and give it a shake. In addition to a soft organic cotton lining and memory foam padding, the mat is removable and washable so you don’t need to worry about stains. The standout for us though was just how much you could fit inside this mat, which has external pockets to hold nappies and creams, as well as a built-in wipe dispenser. With so much storage space and the fact it can be attached to your pram using a stroller bar attachment on the handle, it’s a win-win.

Mama Shack changing mat boho palms

Mama Shack changing mat boho palms indybest.jpg

Best: For boho chic style

Rating: 8.5

If you’re a fan of bohemian interior design, look no further than this offering from Mama Shack, which is covered in a gorgeous palm leaf print in tonal hues, proving that you don’t have to compromise on style when it comes to practical baby essentials. Crafted from nursery grade materials, including a non-toxic fabric cover that’s waterproof and wipeable, the mat has slightly raised edges to keep your baby comfortable and prevent rolling, as well as a generous layer of foam in the centre, which makes it great for use during tummy time, too. While we love this chic motif, the brand has a whole range of stylish designs to choose from that will suit any nursery or living room, depending on where you plan on leaving it lying about, from colourful banana leaf (£18, Mamashack.co.uk ) to mustard spots (£18, Mamashack.co.uk ).

Mini Rodini violas changing mat

Mini Rodini violas changing mat indybest.jpg

Best: Sustainable changing mat

This changing mat comes courtesy of Swedish childrenswear brand Mini Rodini, which has a playful approach to design and a focus on sustainability, making it a great choice for parents that are both eco and style conscious. Ideal for travel or those short on space at home, the mat folds up easily, features a handy interior pocket and fastens with a single yellow button, which can be a little tricky to secure if you only have one hand free. Incredibly cushioned and soft, it’s made from GOTS-certified organic cotton and upcycled leftover fabric that would have otherwise gone to waste. We also fell head-over-heels for the bold print, which is an original artwork by founder Cassandra Rhodin from the brand’s AW20 collection and has a series of red viola flowers set against a bright yellow background.

The verdict: Changing mats

The type of changing mat you opt for will largely depend on how and where you plan to use it, but we think The Gilded Bird’s wedge mat is a great all-rounder. We adored the design, which has an almost William Morris look to it, while the super chunky base provides your little one with the ultimate in comfort during nappy changes.

We also have to shout out Avery Row’s changing basket , which is a great option for style-conscious parents, while Tiba + Marl’s clutch is ideal for use on the go.

  • Anti-roll changing mat : This type of mat is usually shaped like a giant wedge of foam with a dip in the centre to help prevent your little one from wriggling about or rolling off.
  • Travel changing mat : Perfect for popping into your handbag or mini breaks, travel mats are typically thinner and foldable so you can change dirty nappies comfortably, wherever you happen to be.
  • Woven or fabric changing mat : If you prefer a natural aesthetic, keep an eye out for changing mats made from rattan or cotton. They work along similar lines to classic mats but they're made from fabric as opposed to PVC or polyester.

How to choose the best changing mat for you

When choosing a changing mat, there are a few things to consider. While you might think one changing mat is very much like another, it will quickly become clear that products differ. We’ve covered everything to make choosing a change mat quick and easy.

Why do you need a changing mat?

A changing mat will become part of your essential baby kit. You might even find you want one mat in your baby’s nursery, one downstairs, and another in the changing bag itself… even one at grandparents’ houses.

A changing mat will provide a clean, comfortable surface for you to change your baby on. It will be easy to wipe clean if any spills occur (which they will), and will support your baby while you get down to business.

READ NEXT: The best baby formulas  

What are the different types of changing mat?

There are a few different styles of changing mat. Firstly you’ve got your simple, no-frills foam mat. These are normally covered in a wipe-clean plastic and have a slightly raised edge.

There are also anti-roll change mats, which are similar to the foam change mats. However, they’re often a bit thicker for extra comfort, and they have sides that slope upwards. These will help keep your baby from rolling off the mat. But it’s important you never leave your baby on a changing table unattended, even if you have an anti-roll changing mat.

Changing mats are fairly big. You’re not going to want to chuck one under your arm as you head out of the door. Enter travel changing mats. These folding mats slip in a changing bag easily. They’re thinner than regular changing mats, but often have little pockets to store wipes and nappies too. Most cafés, pubs etc have changing tables, but taking your own travel mat to lay on top of public tables means taking fewer risks with hygiene.

A big nursery décor trend is changing baskets. These baskets are often woven from natural materials and look super stylish. They’re practical too, as you can get a couple of liners and switch them around, and you can wash them to make sure everything is nice and clean.

What are the key things to think about when buying a changing mat?

Take care to ensure your changing mat fits your changing table. They’re not all made to a standard size (we’ve included dimensions in our reviews below). You’re looking for a fairly snug fit, but where you can also slot in some wipes.

Changing mats should be as comfy as possible for your baby. Some mats will be made from materials that don’t feel cold on their backs, and some will come with washable material covers to ensure they don’t get cold. Babies and young children can’t regulate their temperature like adults, so this will help them and make change times less fraught.

Of course, changing mats should be easy to clean. Trust us, accidents will happen. So look for a change mat that’s either wipe-clean or has a removable cover or liner that is washing-machine friendly.

How we test changing mats

At Expert Reviews, we’re aware that you want reliable, impartial reviews, and the best way to deliver on that is to thoroughly test all the products we feature on our pages. With changing mats, this means putting them to use in various scenarios – at home on the floor, on changing tables and when out and about.

To adequately test each changing mat, it’s used for changing a lot of nappies, of different aged children. For newborns, we consider the comfort and support a changing mat delivers, to keep seemingly less-robust newborns warm and safe during changes. For slightly older, wriggly children, safety is a priority, and so we assess how well toddlers fared on anti-roll change mats. In addition, we consider how easy a changing mat is to keep thoroughly clean, and how long they’re likely to withstand daily use without splitting or falling apart.

The best changing mats you can buy in 2023

1. olli ella reva baby changing basket: the best changing mat for style.

travel changing mat mamas papas

These changing baskets are everywhere on Instagram, and for good reason. As well as having those sought-after cool, natural Scandi vibes, the Olli Ella basket is incredibly well made. As you would hope for the price tag.

This changing basket will see you through as many kids as you end up having. The basket requires a liner, which is sold separately , but mercifully isn’t too pricey. You can also throw the liner in the wash, and replace it between kids or if it gets a little worn out. The liner is made from organic cotton and feels well made, but is quite thin. You might end up having to put a towel under the liner to provide extra cushioning.

There are several Olli and Ella baskets available, but we loved the contrast between the natural seagrass and the recycled plastic white weave on the Reva. It added a little interest to our nursery. We appreciated that it held our wiggling babe securely as we changed them – as well as all our changing essentials – so everything was to hand and secure.

2. BabaBing! Flipout Changing Mat Pack: The best travel changing mat

travel changing mat mamas papas

We love that this pack has everything you could want on the go. There are pockets for wipes and nappies, meaning you don’t have to scrabble around in the depths of your bag when you’re in a rush. And these pockets open out to reveal a large, wipe-clean change mat that also flips out width ways. This is handy if you have a baby who likes to spread out or if you want to keep all your changing gear off public change tables.

This pack made us feel very organised when we were out of the house with our kids. A real Swiss Army knife of changing mats – as long as you keep it stocked with wipes and nappies!

Key specs – Dimensions: L75 x W50cm (unfolded), L26 x W19cm (folded)

3. Shnuggle Squishy Changing Mat: The best easy-to-clean changing mat

travel changing mat mamas papas

This foam changing mat claims to be warm to touch, so more comfortable for your baby. While it’s definitely not as cold during a night-time change, it also feels very plasticy. But that does mean it’s easy to keep clean. There are no little folds or seams that are tricky to wipe clean here, so no matter what befalls you during a nappy change, you’ll be able to wipe it up without fuss.

We liked that it’s slightly raised for babies who don’t like to lie completely flat (thanks, colic and reflux!). This might make for a less screamy nappy change.

So it scores points for hygiene and ease of use, but the shiny grey plastic feels quite institutional.

Key specs – Dimensions: L69 x W45cm

4. Mama Shack Anti-Roll Baby Changing Mat: The best anti-roll mat

travel changing mat mamas papas

We were impressed with the quality of this anti-roll mat. Other anti-roll mats we’ve tried have torn quite easily, which makes them unhygienic. However, the cover on this one feels durable. It’s also removable, so you can change it when necessary.

We went for the banana leaf design on our change mat, but Mama Shack offers a plethora of different prints for their mats. The colours on the print are vibrant and don’t seem to fade despite cleaning. We also liked the subtle texture of the cover on this mat – it didn’t feel like we had to peel our baby off it after a change, and they didn’t protest that it was cold on their backs.

High sloping sides prevent rolling, but you should never leave a baby unattended on a changing table.

Key specs – Dimensions: L70 x W45cm

5. Mamas and Papas Dream Upon a Cloud Luxury Changing Mattress: The best changing mat for comfort

travel changing mat mamas papas

Adorable with a capital A, this changing mat has a cute smiley cloud pillow. And, yep, it’s pretty plush all round.

We liked the removable towelling mat, as it offered absorbency when spills happened. You can chuck this in the wash – the only downside is there isn’t a spare mat, so you have to use a muslin or towel if the mat is in the wash. Under the mat is a fabric cover, that’s also removable. This meant our baby never got cold on the mat, even when they were fresh out of the bath.

While the pillow is cute, it’s probably most practical for older babies during a change. However, it is lovely for a bit of tummy time. We found this a charming change mat (not a sentence we thought we’d ever write) and liked the functionality of it, too.
