In a world dominated by screens, it’s becoming harder than ever to encourage children to move, explore and play in the real world. Many parents are looking for fun, engaging ways to keep their little ones active without relying on tablets and television. That’s where soft play comes in—a safe, creative and exciting way for kids to burn energy, boost imagination and enjoy screen-free fun at home.
One company that’s making waves in the world of children’s indoor play is IGLU Soft Play, offering a range of soft play sets designed to support healthy development while keeping things fun and stylish. From compact explorer sets to full-scale party packages, they’ve thought of everything a parent or play business could need.
Let’s take a closer look at three of their standout soft play products and discover what makes them perfect for home use, parties, and rental businesses alike.
If you`re looking for a compact but effective soft play option, the Explorer Set is the perfect place to start. It’s been designed with both fun and function in mind. This set encourages physical activity by inviting kids to climb, crawl, jump, and build—all while staying safe on soft, durable surfaces.
What stands out most is the boost in creativity and imagination it brings. Children can use the blocks to build their own castles, tunnels or obstacle courses, keeping them entertained for hours without even a glance at a screen. The tactile experience also provides excellent sensory stimulation, which is particularly beneficial for younger children and toddlers.
Another hidden benefit? This set helps release excess energy and manage stress—ideal for those pre-nap zoomies or post-school bursts of excitement. Plus, playing in groups helps kids learn essential social skills like sharing, turn-taking and working as a team.
But the best part? The Explorer Set is made using high-quality, 100% recyclable materials. IGLU manufactures its own foam in-house, wrapped in soft, vegan eco-leather that’s as durable as it is comfortable. Unlike many alternatives, these pieces are light, gentle on the skin, and incredibly long-lasting. And with sustainability at its heart, this set is kind to the planet as well as your children.
Next up is the Tunnel Set, which adds an exciting new dimension to playtime—movement through space. Perfect for children who love crawling and exploring, this set combines imaginative play with structured, physical activity.
Much like the Explorer Set, it’s great for building social skills, reducing stress, and keeping kids off screens, but it also adds more variety with its engaging tunnel structure. This not only encourages physical motion but also helps develop spatial awareness and coordination as kids figure out how to manoeuvre through the set in creative ways.
One of the most parent-friendly features is how easy it is to store and transport. If you’re worried about soft play taking over your living room, don’t be. Each piece is lightweight, stackable and easy to move, even for little hands. Whether you`re rearranging your playroom or taking the set to Grandma’s house, the clever design means you can just stack, pack and go.
Durability is another major plus here. These soft blocks are built to last over a decade, and they’re surprisingly soft and gentle, making them suitable for children of all ages, even toddlers. That said, they’re strong enough to support up to 100lbs, which means even grown-ups can join in the fun without worry.
Looking to go all out for a birthday bash or community event? The Soft Play Party Set is a showstopper. Designed especially for larger spaces and suitable for children aged one to nine, it’s ideal for rental businesses, party planners or parents wanting to make a big splash at their next gathering.
This extensive set includes 12 XL-sized soft play pieces, including slides, tunnels, ramps, foam blocks, a banana rocker and a ball pit (note: balls are sold separately). The combination offers non-stop entertainment and varied activities to suit all interests and energy levels.
One of the highlights is how well it’s built. Each piece is crafted from non-toxic, hypoallergenic, flame-retardant materials, ensuring maximum safety. Everything is covered in soft vegan leather, making it both comfortable and safe for children to jump, crawl and climb without any sharp edges or hard surfaces in sight.
The design focuses not only on fun but also on supporting development. As with the other sets, this collection boosts creativity, social interaction, and stress relief. Plus, the bright, cheerful colours (with more subtle options available) are sure to grab kids’ attention from the moment they walk into the room.
And if you`re running a soft play hire service? This set ticks all the boxes for repeat customers. It’s durable, easy to clean, and built to withstand heavy use. Whether it’s a birthday party, family get-together or even a corporate event with a children’s corner, this set will delight kids and impress parents every time.
One small note: due to the size and demand, the party sets are made to order and take about 4 weeks for dispatch. So, plan ahead if you’ve got a big event on the horizon!
The benefits of soft play go far beyond just fun and games. It helps children develop critical physical and emotional skills while encouraging them to stay active in a safe, enjoyable environment. From imaginative role-play to cooperative building and free movement, soft play unlocks a world of growth opportunities.
The beauty of choosing products from IGLU Soft Play lies in the blend of quality, safety and sustainability. Their foam is created in-house, their materials are eco-friendly, and their designs are both parent- and child-approved. With options for every space, budget, and occasion, they’re making soft play accessible and exciting for everyone.
Whether you’re a parent looking to upgrade your playroom or a business ready to delight your customers, IGLU Soft Play offers solutions that are built to last and made to inspire.
