Description
The mat that changes what a surface can be
Put it down and any surface becomes ready for whatever the day brings. Indoors, outdoors, planned or improvised. One mat for all of it.
At 135 × 180 cm it seats a family of four with room for the food, the project, and the chaos around both. Folds in two directions. Compact enough for a bag or the boot of the car. At 1.9 kg it’s the heaviest mat in the range. That’s the trade-off for this much surface.
CHF 178 for the largest mat in the range. Five years of daily use, under 10 Rappen a day.
“Huge surface and packed so compact, perfect combo for picnics.” — Ariadna M., Switzerland
“Amazing quality, super resistant while soft in touch. My 4 year old loves to use it when painting, we use it for picnics and will pack it for our summer beach holiday.” — Madalina, Germany
“The Huske mats have been a life saving add on to our life as parents. We use them for pretty much everything — diaper changing, place mat, the place to colour, for play dough, for picnics. Really recommend them to everyone having kids.” — Corina N., Switzerland

Without it: hovering while three children paint on the good table. Saying "be careful" fourteen times. Scrubbing acrylic off cherry wood at 9pm.
With a Gallivant: they paint. You sit down. The table is fine.

The one protecting the cherry wood table
Tatjana M. in Switzerland has three kids who all love to paint and build: "My table, which is American cherry wood, thanks me every second I have this mat on." A surface this big means all three can work side by side. One mat. One wipe. Done.
The Gallivant stays put on any table. The anti-slip backing holds even when small hands pull from one corner.
The one at the beach
Ramona M. in Switzerland: "We used it at the beach to make mountains of sand with rivers that flow to the sea. Our kids loved it and wanted to come up with ever more complex structures. It's also just an amazing beach blanket." Sun cream is one of those things that ruins every other surface. On silicone leather, it wipes off and leaves nothing behind.
It packs flat into the boot of the car. Shake off the sand, fold it, done. No separate bag, no laundry, no drying time.
The one that signals something good is about to happen
Morgan R. in Switzerland uses her Gallivant for both outdoor play and indoor crafts: "So far our mats have been battered with acrylic paint, spray paint, concrete, plaster, and every glitter and craft glue possible , and so far the mat has wiped clean perfectly every time. It's fantastic!"
The scale matters. At 135 × 180 cm, it covers the whole floor space a child actually uses. No more "stay inside the mat."
What else people use it for
The biggest mat finds the biggest jobs.
What this mat is made of
This is silicone leather. Not PU. Not PVC. Not vinyl. Not the "vegan leather" that peels after 18 months.
Silicone leather is made from quartz sand, bonded to a fibre fabric. The surface is 100% silicone, the same grade used in infant pacifiers. It doesn't off-gas, doesn't absorb liquids, doesn't harbour mould. It's heat-proof, won't crack or fade if left outside in cold or sun, and stain-resistant to food, paint, adhesives, and sunscreen.
At this size, the material has to do everything. Survive a beach, protect a table worth thousands, look good in a living room, fold into a bag. Silicone leather is the only material that crosses that indoor-outdoor boundary without compromise.
Certified OEKO-TEX Standard 100 Class 1. Safe for direct contact with baby skin.
Two sides, two jobs
Smooth side up. Grip side down. The underside grips your surface so the mat stays flat, even when three children are painting on it. On the beach, flip it: smooth side down so sand doesn't catch in the grip texture. Two colours, two functions.
How it compares
| Silicone leather (Huske) | Picnic blankets | PU “vegan leather” | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Waterproof | Both sides | Top only (soaks through) | Surface only |
| Sand | Shakes clean | Embeds in fabric | Sticks to seams |
| Protects furniture | Yes (non-slip, no scratching) | Straps scratch | May mark |
| Laundry after use | Never needed | Every time | No |
| Indoor aesthetic | Looks like furniture | Looks like outdoor gear | Varies |
| Mould risk | None | High (damp fabric) | Porous underside |
| Lifespan | Years | Degrades with washing | 18 months |
| How long it lasts | 5+ years, no replacement needed | 1–2 seasons before staining and smell | 18–24 months before peeling and cracking |
CHF 178 is a lot for a mat.
It is. It's also the last one you'll buy. It covers a dining table worth thousands. Used three times a week for two years, that's 57 Rappen per use. The picnic blankets you'd replace every season cost more over the same period.
It's 1.9 kg. That's the big one.
Substantial enough to stay flat on grass, stable enough that three children can't shift it. One reviewer said they wouldn't take it to the Badi (outdoor pool) for a quick dip. Fair. This is the mat for planned outings, not spontaneous ones. For something lighter, the Explore (1.1 kg) is more grab-and-go.
It arrives with fold lines.
All folded mats do. Lay it flat and use it. The creases fade as you use it. A few family dinners and they're gone.
The grip side collects dust and hair on floors.
That's the non-slip side doing its job. Smooth side faces up (the surface you use). Grip side faces down (holds the mat in place). If you're using it on a floor long-term, clean the underside periodically. It's working, not broken.
It only comes in two colours.
Lilac/Red and Beige/Wine. The flagship size has the most curated palette. Both are neutral enough for permanent table use and bold enough for outdoor visibility.
Can I take it to the Badi?
Yes. Many outdoor pools ban standard waterproof mats because the backing traps heat and scorches the grass. This mat is heat-resistant. No burnt rectangles, no awkward conversations with the lifeguard.

Care instructions
After outdoor use: Shake off debris, wipe with a damp cloth. Sand falls right off.
After table use: Wipe with a damp cloth or wet wipe.
Stubborn marks: Gentle soap and water.
Deep clean: Hand-wash gently. You can machine wash on your most gentle cycle (wool/delicates), but for maximum longevity, hand-wash.
Heat-proof: You can iron on it, place hot baking trays on it, use it as a surface for anything household-hot. The only exception: red-hot coals (BBQ embers) will burn through.
Do not: Dishwasher. High heat + food residue can coat the silicone surface with a film. If someone puts it in the dishwasher by mistake: submerge the mat in a pot of gently boiled water with washing-up liquid for 30 minutes, then rinse. The film lifts off.
Storage: Roll rather than fold to minimise creasing. Fine to store it damp for daily use. For longer storage, let it dry fully first.
Non-slip side: Usually faces down (grips tables and floors). At the beach, flip it: smooth side down so sand doesn't catch in the grip texture. Will collect dust and hair on floors. That's it gripping. The fastest way to clean the grip side: submerge the mat in water. Everything releases instantly. Much quicker than wiping.

Frequently asked questions
How big is 134 × 179 cm, really?
About the size of a single bed, plus 45 cm. Four people sit comfortably with room for a picnic or art supplies. It covers a standard 4-person dining table.
Will it protect my dining table?
Yes. One customer with an American cherry wood table says it "thanks me every second." The non-slip underside grips without scratching. No chemical adhesives, no suction cups. Just the grip texture holding it in place.
Is it too heavy for the beach?
At 1.9 kg it's heavier than a towel but lighter than most picnic setups. It folds into a tote bag. One reviewer takes it camping. Another said it might be too heavy for a quick Badi trip. Depends on your tolerance.
Can adults use it too?
Absolutely. One reviewer specifically noted that it's "really handy for adults as well." Customers have used them as desk mats, under sewing machines, and even as bike-cleaning surfaces.
Is it safe for babies?
OEKO-TEX Class 1. Tested for harmful substances, safe for direct contact with baby skin. One customer uses it for their baby to lie and roll on.
Does it smell?
No. Silicone leather is VOC-free. No chemical smell, even at this size.
