Frequently Asked Questions

What size picnic rug should I choose?

Our 2m × 2m rugs give you a generous 4 square metres of space and are a great all-round size for families, couples, beach days and everyday outings.

For bigger families, groups or anyone who loves plenty of room to spread out, our 3m × 3m Grande gives you a whopping 9 square metres of space for family, friends and all your gear.

How do the picnic rugs fold up and carry?

Our 2m × 2m rugs weigh just 1.2kg and cleverly fold in on themselves, securing with built-in Velcro and an integrated carry handle — no separate strap needed.

Our 3m × 3m Grande weighs just 2.2kg and folds down with its own carry strap, making it easy to take with you despite giving you a whopping 9 square metres of space.

How padded are your picnic rugs?

Our picnic rugs are designed to balance comfort with portability. Our standard rugs contain 120gsm PP cotton padding, while our Boho Plus rugs have 150gsm padding for a little extra cushioning.

This keeps them comfortable to sit on while remaining lightweight, easy to fold and machine washable.

Are your picnic rugs waterproof?

Yes. Our picnic rugs have a waterproof base to help keep moisture from damp grass and ground underneath you.

The top layer is water-resistant, so spills and light moisture bead on the surface rather than immediately soaking in, giving you time to wipe them away.

Are your picnic rugs stain resistant?

Yes. Our picnic rugs have a stain-resistant surface designed to handle real-life spills and mess. Everyday spills can be easily wiped away as they happen, and when your rug needs a proper clean, it can simply be popped in the washing machine.

Are your picnic rugs machine washable?

Yes! Every Bilby picnic rug is machine washable. Simply wash on a cold, gentle cycle and hang to dry.

They’re also quick drying, making clean-up easy after spills, muddy feet and messy adventures.

Are your picnic rugs suitable for the beach?

Absolutely! The smooth, sand-resistant surface allows dry sand to be easily shaken or brushed away, while the water-resistant top and waterproof base make them a great choice for days by the water.

Can I peg my picnic rug down on windy days?

Yes! Our picnic rugs have reinforced corner holes so they can be pegged securely into suitable ground — perfect for breezy beach days and picnics.

Pegs are available separately.

What are your picnic rugs made from?

Our picnic rugs are made from durable Oxford fabric, chosen for its strength, practicality and suitability for regular outdoor use.
