About

It’s hard to believe you could use the word “stunning” when describing a changing mat – but that’s what we set out to achieve at The Gilded Bird.

-

The Gilded Bird is run by a mum of 3, Jeanie Bird who wanted to make this essential part of the nursery better – in both look and quality.

-

Our designs are original and exclusive to us. The patterns on our anti-roll changing mats are hand-painted by a local artist (also a mother!). The paintings are then printed onto wipeable, durable and non-toxic PVC and moulded over multiple layers of thick and soft foam. Your baby will love the comfort of these mats- and you’ll love the look of them in your home!

I’m a mum of 3. My son just turned 6 and my twin girls are 4 years old 🙂

-

I’m a Canadian gal (although I’ve been over here for 10 years now and love it) and my husband is an Aussie.

-

We’re living on an idyllic farm where I’m surrounded by the stunning English countryside. This country really is incredibly beautiful and has provided me with much of the inspiration for the designs on my mats.

-

I started The Gilded Bird after realising I was supremely disappointed with the selection of change mats (and many other baby items quite frankly) that were available in mainstream retail.

-

They were either ugly or flimsy/cheap or both.

I had spent a lot of time and money on my twin girls’ nursery and now my only real options for a change mat were white or white with some sort of mult-coloured animal on it. (cue eye-roll).

-

I knew we mums deserved better! After all, if I was really honest, the design of the mat was more for my enjoyment since I was the one who would be looking at it multiple times each day!

-

I had an idea in my head for a few changing mat designs and realised I already knew a few VERY talented designers who have really brought these ideas into reality.

-
I also found a fantastic manufacturer based in the UK and before I knew it, I was selling these gorgeous mats online.

-

Since then, demand has sky rocketed and I have added a selection of beautiful bedding to the range.

I really want you to LOVE your Gilded Bird item as much as I have loved creating them so if you have any concerns or questions about our mats, please don’t hesitate to write me!
