Baby Changing Pad – Henlee

FINALIST
Best Baby Essentials 2025

$148.00

This waterproof, stain-resistant Baby Changing Pad combines style and practicality for modern parents. It facilitates quick nappy changes, restoring precious moments while ensuring a fashionable experience.

Made from an EPE Foam inner with and outer faux leather fabric made from polyester, cotton and polyurethane.
Henlee utilises high-quality materials to ensure longevity, while eliminating plastic in product and shipping packaging where feasible, primarily using cardboard cartons. The faux leather cover is custom-made, non-toxic and adheres to strict international safety standards for children (EN-71-3), with additional testing for substances like Formaldehyde. The EPE foam inner construction complies with the F963-23 Toy Safety Certificate. The product is manufactured in China.
Henlee uses durable materials for their product's outer cover, which minimises waste by eliminating the need for disposable liners or frequent replacements. The waterproof, stain-resistant exterior allows for easy cleaning with a simple wipe, significantly cutting down on water and energy usage compared to traditional fabric covers. The product features a dense EPE foam inner construction that is lightweight yet durable, making it suitable for use from newborn to toddler age, thereby reducing landfill contributions. The packaging primarily consists of recyclable cardboard. The Perth head office prioritises minimising waste and recycling various materials including paper, cardboard and plastics. Addressing the lack of sustainable recycling solutions for faux leather, the brand takes responsibility for faulty returns, offering reselling options for new, unused items and collabourating with a local seamstress for repairs on functional products. For items that have developed faults over time, they accept returns to salvage materials for colour fabric swatches for future customer purchases.
Henlee is engaged in initiatives that reflect its values and ethics, including talks to join the i=Change charity, committing to donate $1 from every sale to NGOs focused on climate change and the empowerment of women and girls, with a goal for implementation by the end of April 2025. In terms of sustainability, the brand resells new, unused and functional items as seconds/imperfect products, while also collabourating with a local seamstress for repairs. The brand aims to salvage, repurpose and reimagine its fabric, using off-cuts as swatches for customers and transforming larger pieces into new products, such as placemats.

Product Reviews by Experts


What I like most about the Henlee Baby Changing Pad is how sleek, practical and easy to clean it is. The soft, leather-look material feels luxurious while still being wipeable and durable, making it ideal for quick and hygienic changes. I can also appreciate that Henlee offer two different sizes to accomodate to different change tables. It’s lightweight, stylish and combines function and aesthetics beautifully. I’m impressed by Henlee’s conscious choice of vegan leather, offering a more sustainable and cruelty-free alternative to traditional materials. Their focus on quality and longevity over disposable items aligns with a more mindful, eco-responsible approach to parenting. The minimalist design also encourages thoughtful consumption- purchasing fewer, better items that last.


This changing pad is such a game-changer! It is waterproof, stain-resistant and so easy to wipe clean, it saves me so much time and stress every nappy change. Plus, it looks so chic and modern. Finally, baby gear that actually fits our style! I love knowing Henlee puts real care into using durable, non-toxic materials that last, with clever ways to reduce waste like repurposing returned pads or using off-cuts. Their commitment to recyclable packaging and future charity plans makes supporting them feel even better.


Henlee have beautifully filled this gap in the market! It’s really tricky to find a PVC-free changing pad for your baby- so hard, that 7 years ago when I had a bub, I just used folded towels (which were a pain as they don’t wipe down and I constantly washed)! Henlee have done a great job in creating this wonderful baby changing pad! I love that they have done extra testing to ensure the changing mat is toxin free. It wipes clean easily, looks great and is super comfy for your little one.
