Wildkin Kids Original Nap Mat – Cozy Kids Sleep Mat with Pillow, Ideal for School & Travel - Transportation

Bought this in October 2020 and it held up through my son stopping naps at school this past June 2023. Was super convenient to carry to school, easy to throw in the washer each week (pillow is removable btw), and my son could set it up for nap time without help. The print faded some over the years, but velcro is still perfect, pillow stayed fluffy, and mat never tore; my son also never mentioned any change in the feel of the mat over time either. Totally worth the investment! We also have the matching 12 inch backpack which has held up extremely well with daily use as well. Really impressed with the quality of Wildkin products!

I bought this item in May of 2014, for my son to use at daycare. It has held up to daily use and weekly washes for all this time without ripping, tearing, or fading. The velcro grips are in great shape an the color is still has bright blue as when I purchased it. The built in pillow still has its soft, stuffed feel. The material the nap mat is made of is very durable, and my son seems very comfortable in it - he would rather nap in this than his own bed, when we bring it home. When we bought it my son was 2.5 years old and about 28 inches tall. He's now 3.5 and 3 ft. even, and this nap mat still has plenty of room for him to keep growing into it.. He's very comfortable in it. In all, it's very high quality. I love it and would buy it again in a heartbeat if we ever lose it. Shipping was quick and the purchasing process went without a hitch. I highly recommend both seller and product.

I bought this nap mat initially because it was the most convenient solution to a funny situation - due to a schedule change that conflicts with daycare hours, I just have my son with me for the first hour of work. Because I bring him in asleep and don't want to wake him, but also because I can't leave big pieces of baby detritus set up all day/when I leave the office, a Pack'n Play or similar playpen scenario was just absolutely not going to work. (In addition the idea of doling out another $90-something for a duplicate accessory was pretty painful to me.) I loved the choice of designs (which are pretty friendly for gender-neutral purchases, too), and am now eyeing all the matchy-matchy stuff. It works pretty well. I can take it out of my "baby supplies" chest, unhook the velcro, roll it out, and open the blanket all one-handed with a 20 pound sack of potatoes in the other arm. It takes up pretty much zero additional space and, while it doesn't contain the crawling monster, it does give him a clear "signal" space that it is time to SLEEEEEEEEP, my child! It gives me about half an hour to 45 minutes of that first work hour where he will remain asleep, or at least calmly resting. Confession time: I am inspired to write this review for kind of a silly reason. I am at work by 6:00am and usually don't get to go to bed on time, so by Friday, I'm flagging pretty hard. So I was desperate to lie down at lunch today, and decided, screw it, I'm going to take that mat back out and take a quick nap. I'm not even gonna lie, guys, this thing is super crazy comfortable. I have trouble understanding how something so thin and constructed of fabric could be so soft. The inside of the blanket attachment is made out of some fairy tale Space Princess blankie material that they must have stolen from Mars. I was cozy but never felt overheated. I'm the kind of person that has to have 4 pillows (to myself) and the sheets adjusted just-so with the right kind of comforter adjusted just-so, and then I'm still sort of vaguely uncomfortable as I adjust for the next hour and a half before I can sleep. Nope. No. Not at all. I was instantly wrapped in warm snuggle cuddles and barely stayed awake long enough to set my alarm for the end of lunch. Long story short, this is EXTREMELY comfortable, very cute, very affordable, and your kid will love it. The built-in pillow is both comfy and toddler-safe (it won't go over anybody's face to suffocate them). Also, I'm really hoping there is an adult version of this somewhere and I won't need a bed anymore.

I did my fair share of research on nap mats when I put my son in pre-k. I don't mind paying more money for an item if it will last longer. I consider them investments. And this nap mat is a wise investment. It is pillow, nap mat, and blanket all in one and easily rolled up and thrown over your shoulder for your next adventure. It even has a nifty pocket! My son is nearly 4 and tall for his age and he will use this nap mat until he no longer needs it, and then it will be passed on to his younger sister. In my research I read that this brand held up to washing repeatedly. I have yet had a need to wash ours (which is shocking when you think about it), so I can't vouch for that claim, but from the excellent stitching, I can tell that this nap mat will show the washer who's boss. The robots are super adorable and I just love the bright, vivid colors. I wish I could bottle my son's face when he opened this because it was a priceless expression of shock and love and excitement and pure happiness.

I like to wait to leave reviews until I've actually used a product for awhile and see how it holds up. I bought this about a year and a half ago for my son to take to preschool, and with the exception of summer break and some holiday breaks, it gets used 5x a week and washed every week. It has held up great, and I will still be using this for the upcoming school year. No need to replace it. I definitely feel I got my money's worth, as far as functionality goes. However: it has faded, badly. I don't really care, as it doesn't affect the use of the product, but this was not cheap. For the price I paid, I expected the colors to last longer. This was pretty expensive and only a year old, but it looks like I paid $20 and have been using it for 10 years. As far as washing goes, I put it on a soak/delicates cycle with cold water, and I put it in the dryer using the Air Dry/No Heat option. DO NOT WASH THE PILLOW, it is removable, so take it out before you wash the mat. I accidentally left the pillow in once when I washed it and it EXPLODED stuffing all over my washer, because the pillow itself is made of very thin material. I had to collect all the stuffing, but I managed to stuff it back into the pillow and it still fits inside the slot on the mat, so it turned out okay. My son started using it at 3, and is still using it now at 4. I'm expecting to keep using it to age 5. He likes it, he says it's comfy, and he still fits in it (he is average height). It's easy to fold up, but it is pretty big when folded. Won't fit into a 4 years old's backpack, and it's a little big for him to carry on his own. So if you're concerned about longevity, this is a great mat. But if you care about it still looking brand new, maybe try a different mat.

My son loved it during preschool rest time- I loved it for it ease of washing. The pillow held up nicely and is removable. Definitely recommend

I bought this for my son to use at daycare after extensive research. I was a bit worried about durability and actually following the washing instructions which called for the product to line dry. I knew I was not going to follow through with line drying and the mat would end up in the dryer each week for convenience sake. It has ended up in the dryer. From the very beginning. Every week for 1.5 years. And the mat is still going strong! The frequent washings have only served to make the fabric even softer like a pair of old jeans. You HAVE to remove the pillow before you throw the mat in the wash or else the fluff of the pillow will bunch (we found this out the hard way after Granny helped with the laundry one day). FYI: The pillow insert was not ruined by the bunching. A little fluffing got it back to being comfortable for the little guy. Everything else about the mat has held up well. The seams are solid, the fluff of the mat is as good as it was when I first purchased it and the blanket is still soft. The flannel blanket lining has pilled a bit but not terribly. It is time for me to replace the velcro closures but they just gave out which seems fair to me after all of the punishment (washing/drying/frequent use/daycare environment) the mat has been through. My son loves the mat and has slept well on it from day one. He likes it so much he asks to nap on it on the weekends when we are home! This is a workhorse of a nap mat that is cute and comfortable. Great buy!

Very well made and comfortable for my 3yr old grandson. The material is of good quality.
