Eli, a mother of three from California, came up with the idea of Toki Mats while on maternity leave with her second baby. While sitting in her living room, she realized there wasn’t a place to get down on the floor and safely play with her newborn and toddler — at least not one that was both comfortable and modern. Eli spent the next year designing and building Toki Mats — modern and natural foam mats, cushioned for safe play and baby milestones like tummy time.
