Brand Spotlight: Nattou
Who is Nattou?
Nattou is a long-established Belgian baby brand, making soft toys and nursery essentials since the late 1980s. Over the years they’ve built a reputation for well-made, gentle pieces that focus on comfort and safety rather than noise or gimmicks. It’s one of those dependable brands parents tend to come back to, because the quality just feels right from the start.
Nattou baby toys and playmats, gentle sensory play that simply feels right
Some baby toys shout for attention. Lights, sounds, bright colours, buttons.
Nattou is the opposite.
It is soft, quiet and reassuring. The kind of pieces that simply live in your home without taking it over. Toys babies naturally reach for, and parents do not feel the need to tidy away at the end of the day.
At Bebeco, it is one of those brands we recommend almost on autopilot. Not because it is trendy, but because families come back for it again and again. That kind of quiet loyalty usually tells you everything you need to know.
What makes Nattou different?
We are quite selective about the soft toy and nursery brands we stock. There is a lot out there that looks sweet in photos but does not always hold up to everyday life.
Nattou has always felt different.
The fabrics are thicker, the stitching is sturdier, and everything feels designed to be handled constantly rather than just sit on a shelf. It is the sort of quality you notice straight away when you pick it up.
Across the range you will find:
Softly padded baby playmats
Wooden activity gyms
Plush comforters and rattles
Cuddly rocking toys
Calm, neutral nursery colours
Nothing feels overdesigned or overstimulating. Just thoughtful pieces made for small hands.
It is sensory play in its simplest form. Touch, texture and movement. No batteries required.
Toys that support sensory play, naturally
In the early months, babies do not actually need lots of stimulation. Too much noise and flashing can feel overwhelming.
Simple textures and gentle movement are often far more engaging.
That is where Nattou really shines. A soft rattle to grasp. A hanging toy to bat at. A rocker to climb on and off. Small, repeatable movements that quietly build strength and coordination over time.
It is slower, calmer play, and for many parents that feels much more natural at home.
Soft toys that suit a calm, neutral nursery
One thing we hear often from customers is how nicely Nattou fits into a softer, more neutral nursery.
Muted tones, warm fabrics and gentle shapes mean these pieces do not clash with your space. They look considered, almost like part of the room rather than stuff.
If you are leaning towards a calm nursery, or simply prefer toys that feel timeless rather than character-led, Nattou tends to slot in beautifully.
Practical, comforting, and easy to live with. Which, honestly, is exactly how baby products should feel.

Why we stock Nattou
At Bebeco, we do not try to stock everything. We focus on brands that feel dependable, thoughtfully made and genuinely useful day to day.
Nattou has always been one of those steady, reliable choices.
Soft textures. Practical design. Pieces that quietly become favourites.
Sometimes the best baby products are not the ones that shout the loudest. They are the ones you reach for every day without even thinking.
And those are exactly the ones we like to keep on our shelves.
