How to tell it's real IGLU

🧊 Very durable: Genuine IGLU blocks maintain their shape and support weight without sagging. Fake shapes are made from cheap, soft foam, which can also be harmful to your child.

🧼 Easy clean-up: Wipes clean with a wet wipe, which is especially important with young children.

🧵 Precision craftsmanship: Tight, even stitching and consistent shapes that stack perfectly.

🏅 Certificates: IGLU blocks get vigourously tested and have received safety certificates in the EU, USA, Canada, and UK. Non-toxic, child-safe materials.

🇪🇺 Made in EU: IGLU blocks are made in the local Northern Europe facility.

Benefits of soft play ball pits

🤲 Sensory Exploration: Ball pits provide a tactile and sensory-rich experience. Children can bury themselves in the soft balls, feeling different textures and pressures, which stimulates their sense of touch and awareness of body position and movement.

🤸‍♂️ Motor Skills Development: Moving through and playing in a ball pit requires various movements, such as crawling, reaching, grabbing, and tossing. These actions help develop fine and gross motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and spatial awareness.

🔄 Vestibular Stimulation: Children often enjoy the sensation of moving and rolling in a ball pit. These movements provide vestibular stimulation, which is important for balance and spatial orientation.

🌈 Imaginative Play: Ball pits can transform into different play scenarios in a child's imagination. They can pretend they're swimming in a sea of bubbles, diving for treasures, or exploring a magical world. Imaginative play enhances cognitive development and creativity.

👫 Social Interaction: Ball pits often attract multiple children, providing opportunities for social interaction and cooperative play. Kids can engage in games, share balls, and take turns, fostering communication and social skills.

😄 Emotional Expression: Ball pits offer a safe space where kids can express emotions freely. They can bury themselves, jump around with excitement, or simply relax among the balls, helping them manage and process emotions.

😌 Calming Effect: The sensation of being surrounded by soft balls can have a calming effect on children. It can provide comfort and reduce anxiety, making it a therapeutic play experience.

🎯 Cause and Effect: Kids can experiment with cause and effect relationships, such as throwing a ball and watching it bounce or roll. This type of play encourages curiosity and cognitive development.

🏃‍♀️ Physical Activity: Playing in a ball pit involves movement, whether it's crawling, walking, or jumping. This physical activity contributes to overall health and well-being.

🤗 Safe Risk-Taking: Jumping into a ball pit or diving into the balls allows children to take calculated risks in a controlled environment. This helps them learn about their own abilities and build confidence.

🔠 Language Development: Playing in a ball pit with peers encourages communication and language development as children interact, negotiate roles, and share experiences.

Bury Soft Play Ltd

We are a premium hire company that only uses Iglu. Whilst the new ball pool design is ok for home use, we now struggle to find a place for it within our party hire packages. The new style is much thinner and whilst still using the same high quality foam, this thinner thickness of the wall means the children can not longer use it as a kind of balance beam. Luckily we have lots of the older style, more sturdy ball pools. These are still much better than the cheap alternatives many retailers offer, but not a patch on the old style ball pool.

Thank you so much for sharing your feedback with us! 📦✨
We're glad you appreciate the quality of our products, and we’ll pass your comments about the new design to our team. We hope to continue providing options that meet your needs.
We are so grateful for your continued trust in Iglu for your hire business.
Thank you again for being such a valued partner, and please let us know if we can ever assist you with future orders! 🐧

I love it, the kids love it. We use it in commercial use.
But how do i clean the mat of the pool? Can the mat be machine washed? If so, what washing temperature and cycle do you recommend?

I love the old ball pits. They are now very thin. They are thin and cost more now. So sad they changed the size :(

Thank you for sharing your feedback! 🙏 We are sorry to hear that you are disappointed with the update.
Our product dimensions are always fully displayed on our website, so everything is transparent before purchase, and nothing is hidden. ✨

Small but sturdy.

Although it's a nice ballpit, it was pricey to have been so small. My little one and big one loves it. It seems it may only fit 2 five year olds at the max. Should be for 5 and under. I will get use out of it for maybe on year.

Perfect for multiple kids !

Absolutely love it. Got this for my 1 year old triplets and they all have enough room to play and super sturdy ! The foam padding is great too! Very happy with the purchase. I have 400 balls in it now and I think 400 more would be prefect.

Well Made + Chic

Received my ball pit and I am amazed at the quality of the vinyl + velcro. The product is just the right size for children less than 4 years. Will purchase again from IGLU.

Perfect colors and very sturdy!

Amazing product! I bought it because of the price and was not expecting much but when I received it, the kids and I loved it! The ball pit is really sturdy doesn’t move, even if the kids get on the edge and jump in, the bottom mat is super thick and the side walls secure perfect together, there’s no way for the balls to get out through the bottom or sides. I would say it’s more for 2 and under but my 5 and 3 year old play in it and it’s great! So for the price, this item is a must! One of my favorite products so far, so glad it was on amazon!

Why was my order delivered in multiple parcels?

Some IGLU play sets are shipped in separate parcels due to size and weight restrictions set by courier companies. For this reason, large orders may be split into multiple shipments.
Each parcel may have its own tracking number, and deliveries can sometimes arrive on different days, depending on the courier’s routing and handling.

Product Features & Materials

What are the Connecting Strips for, and what if one is missing or damaged?

The Connecting Strips join the main pieces of your set together, so they stay in place during play. If a Connecting Strip is missing or damaged, please contact our customer support at info@iglusoftplay.com.

What materials are used for the leather and foam?

Our products are made from PE foam, known for being lightweight yet firm and supportive, and covered with PVC artificial leather that is durable, easy to clean, and soft to the touch.

Is the product BPA and phthalate-free?

Yes — all our materials are BPA- and phthalate-free, ensuring they are safe for children and compliant with international safety standards.

How do I clean my IGLU soft play set?

Wipe the surface with a soft cloth and mild soap or disinfectant. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive sponges, or excessive moisture. For more tips, see our guide: Cleaning Up the Fun

Is IGLU safe and certified?

Our products are tested in accordance with EN71-2:2011: Toy Safety

Our products are also tested in accordance with ASTM F963 and ASTM/CPSIA/CA Prop 65

You can find the full list of certificates and regulations here: Legal notice

How much weight can IGLU hold?

IGLU pieces can comfortably hold an adult's weight, so they're more than strong enough for children.

Where are the Connecting Strips?

The Connecting strips are attached to the parcel that your order arrives in. Please check the box carefully before discarding. They can be found in a pouch on the side of the box.

How do I connect the pieces with the Connecting Strips?
  • Place the first two shapes side by side.
  • Attach one Velcro strip across the base where the two shapes meet, to lock them together.
  • Place the third shape next to the second one.
  • Attach the second Velcro strip across that new gap.
Can IGLU be exposed to heat or cold?

Please keep your IGLU set at a normal room temperature and avoid extreme heat or cold, for example, direct contact with heaters, radiators, or sunlit windows.

There are creases in the leather. Is this normal?

Yes. The foam can form creases if something presses on it for a long time. A gentle massage, a warmer room temperature, and 2–3 weeks without pressure will usually even it out.

Can I use IGLU if I have pets?

Yes, it is perfectly fine to have pets and IGLU. However, we recommend keeping an eye on pets when they’re near your IGLU set. Sharp claws and chewing can damage the leather cover and the foam underneath.
