Barrels
QUED® Soft‑Play Barrels add a new dimension to soft‑play activity. Toddlers can safely roll on and climb over cylindrical shapes to discover different dynamics and coordination.
Challenge
Support safe rolling and crawl‑over activities with soft cylinders.
Solution
Provide ~44 ILD foam barrels with reinforced ~0.61 kg/m² (18 oz/yd²) covers and 51 mm (2 in) hook‑and‑loop closures to stabilize layouts.
The Shape
Barrel elements create rolling and crawl‑over stations that introduce controlled motion while maintaining a soft, hygienic surface.
The Construction
Each barrel uses a polyester‑reinforced vinyl cover (~0.61 kg/m² / 18 oz/yd²) over a ~44 ILD polyurethane foam core. Seams are inverted and cross‑stitched, with full‑width hook‑and‑loop flaps and a concealed YKK zipper.
The Operation
Place barrels on a level surface for rolling and crawl‑over tasks. Join to adjacent shapes with hook‑and‑loop where stability is needed.
