Soft Play Equipment Supplier for the USA
GetSoftPlay manufactures custom soft play structures in Turkey and exports them to family entertainment centers, churches and franchises across the United States, with every contained play structure engineered to ASTM F1918 — the US standard your insurer and local inspectors will reference. Turkey's position as a global soft play manufacturing hub means US buyers get European build quality at significantly lower cost than domestic fabrication.
Start with a free 3D design of your space, then compare against our cost guide: most US projects come in at $180–$500 per m2 installed, often 30–50% below comparable domestic quotes even after ocean freight.
The United States market
The US is the world's largest family entertainment market, and it runs on a different rulebook than Europe: contained soft play structures are built to ASTM F1918 (Standard Safety Performance Specification for Soft Contained Play Equipment) rather than EN 1176, with related ASTM standards covering surfacing and materials. US buyers should confirm their supplier engineers specifically to ASTM — not simply relabels an EN design.
Typical American venues are larger than their European counterparts: multi-attraction FECs combining soft play with arcades, bowling or laser tag; church recreation ministries (a uniquely American segment with substantial budgets); franchise play café concepts; and toddler town areas inside trampoline park chains. Footprints of 300–1,000 m2 are common, and buyers frequently want themed structures tied to a brand identity.
Liability insurance drives purchasing decisions in the US more than anywhere else — documented standard compliance, engineering drawings and material certificates materially affect operators' premiums.
Logistics and installation
Ocean freight from Turkish ports to the US East Coast (New York/New Jersey, Savannah, Charleston) typically takes 3–4 weeks; West Coast deliveries take longer, so East Coast and Midwest projects route most efficiently. Add 2–4 weeks of manufacturing ahead of shipment. Import duties vary by product classification; the manufacturer's export team prepares the commercial documentation and works with your customs broker of choice.
Installation crews fly in from the factory and assemble on site over 3–7 days. For US projects it is worth planning visa lead time for the crew early — experienced exporters begin that paperwork at order confirmation, not at shipment.
Frequently asked questions
Is your equipment compliant with US standards?
Yes. Contained play structures for US clients are engineered to ASTM F1918, with material and flammability documentation supplied for your insurer and local authorities.
How long does shipping to the United States take?
Sea freight from Turkey to the US East Coast runs about 3–4 weeks, after a 2–4 week manufacturing window. A typical US project goes from signed order to completed installation in 8–12 weeks.
Is importing from Turkey actually cheaper than buying domestically in the US?
In most cases, yes. At $180–$500 per m2 installed, Turkish-built structures typically undercut comparable US-fabricated equipment by 30–50%, even after ocean freight and import costs. Duties vary by classification, so we quote landed cost per project.
