STi SoftLawn Barefoot Comfort Artificial Grass
Synthetic Turf International (STI) SoftLawn® Barefoot Comfort is a premium, ultra-soft artificial turf designed specifically for high-comfort residential lawns, family relaxation zones, and recreational boundaries. Engineered with a 78 oz. total weight and a plush 1 9/16-inch pile height, it utilizes proprietary "messy grass" technology where polyethylene stalk yarns lay in multiple directions to achieve an incredibly realistic, multi-tonal aesthetic and a soft, non-abrasive feel. Replaces high-maintenance natural sod in front and backyards, providing a lush, "fresh cut" look without the need for watering, mowing, or chemical fertilizers. Functions as a soft, mud-free, and slip-resistant perimeter splash zone where children and guests can walk comfortably without shoes. Widely deployed as the premium chipping fringe or "collar" wrapped around professional-grade backyard putting greens. Its multidirectional fibers realistically slow down incoming pitch shots.

Built For Natural Landscape Performance
STi SoftLawn® Barefoot Comfort is a premium synthetic turf engineered primarily for residential lawns, commercial landscaping, and golf putting green fringes. Manufactured by Synthetic Turf International (STI), its hallmark trait is a "messy grass" construction pattern. This technology weaves soft polyethylene stalk yarns in multiple different directions, successfully replicating the multidirectional growth of natural grass while maintaining an exceptionally soft underfoot texture. Used to build hyper-realistic, low-maintenance green spaces that remain plush and inviting for barefoot walking, lounging, and family activities. Perfect for landscaping around residential or commercial golf greens where a realistic aesthetic must transition seamlessly into a smooth, high-performing putting surface.

Recommended Applications
Installed directly up to pool coping stones. It replaces slick concrete or wood with a plush, slip-resistant, and chlorine-resistant green border that feels great on wet, bare feet. Used to replace standard front and backyards where children, toddlers, and family members crawl, sit, and play. It fully eliminates grass allergies, dirt tracking, and rough turf friction burns. Laid down in areas beneath heavy tree canopies or steep architectural slopes where natural sod repeatedly dies from a lack of sunlight or erosion. Wrapped seamlessly around professional-grade synthetic putting greens (such as STI Tour Premium or Pro Putt). Its 1 9/16-inch height and multi-directional thatch provide realistic resistance for practicing delicate pitch and chip shots.
- High-Impact, Elite Athletic Applications
- Suited for Professional Sports Stadiums
Installation & Care Notes
Installing Synthetic Turf International (STI) SoftLawn® Barefoot Comfort requires a precise, multi-layered sub-base method to protect its unique multi-directional "messy grass" technology. Because this premium 105 oz total weight turf is engineered with a plush 1 9/16-inch pile that naturally requires less infill, maintaining a flat, stable aggregate foundation is essential to preserve its soft underfoot feel. Dig out all existing natural grass, roots, and debris using a sod cutter or shovel to a uniform depth of 3 to 4 inches below the finished perimeter border. Smooth out the native dirt subgrade, shaping a subtle 0.5% slope toward a designated drainage exit point or collector trench to prevent subsurface water pooling.
- Professional base preparation recommended
- Use appropriate infill for the application
- Brush fibers periodically to maintain appearance
- Rinse as needed for dust, pets, or debris
- Confirm drainage needs before installation
