Buy Soft Artificial Grass

Family garden with artificial grass, a play teepee and a fire pit seating area

Grass that is genuinely comfortable to sit on. Deeper, finer fibres with less of the coarse thatch you feel through a thinner roll, for a garden that gets used barefoot in summer rather than only looked at.

Softness and hard-wearing pull in opposite directions, so if the lawn takes heavy traffic as well, compare these against the hard wearing artificial grass before deciding.

Eight ranges are tagged soft underfoot, from Rum 40mm at £10 per square metre and Dan 38mm at £8.99 to Aris 40mm, Orf 45mm and Dluxe 40mm. Softness comes from finer yarn, a deeper pile and a curled thatch that cushions rather than a coarse straight fibre, which is why these are the rolls for bare feet in summer, a picnic blanket, and children who spend the afternoon on the ground.

Softer piles flatten a little more under constant traffic, so brush against the pile every month or two to keep them standing. For a lawn that is both sat on and run across all day, Dan and Val at 38mm are the middle ground. All come in 2m, 4m and 5m widths cut to your length, ten-year UV warranty. Order free samples and press a hand into each. Free delivery over £190, 2 to 4 working days.

Frequently asked questions

Which artificial grass is softest underfoot?

Orf 45mm at £17 per square metre, Dluxe 40mm at £21 and Aris 40mm at £15 at the top; Rum 40mm at £10, Cali 40mm at £13.50, Dan, Val and Ens at 38mm for a softer feel at a lower price. All eight are tagged soft underfoot.

What makes a grass soft?

Finer yarn, a deeper pile and a curled thatch that cushions rather than a coarse straight fibre. Density matters too: a dense soft pile springs back, a sparse one lies flat.

Is soft grass hard wearing?

Softness and hard wear pull in opposite directions. Softer piles flatten a little more under constant traffic, so brush against the pile every month or two. For a lawn that is both sat on and run across, Dan or Val at 38mm is the middle ground.

Which soft grass is safe for children and pets?

All of them. For a family lawn shared with a dog, Dan 38mm or Val 38mm: soft enough for bare feet, dense enough to recover, and free-draining.
