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

My 4 year old loves this mat. We had to get him one to bring to kindergarten. The colors are vibrant and fun. I love that it has a pillow and blanket. It rolls up easily and seems durable enough that I believe my younger son could also use it his kindergarten year. When you don't use the blanket it is thick and comfortable. The downside is when the blanket is in use there is very little padding left because most of it is in the blanket. All in all, a wonderful sleeping mat for preschool that our boys love. The quality is there, and the price is great. We are going to buy our little one of the same kind, but in colors more suited for girls. The quality is so good that every one of my children will use Olive Kids!

Well, I can't rave enough about this nap mat. My just-turned-three year old son is reluctant to sleep away from home. I mean, outright recalcitrant! The few times the grandparents tried to have him over for a sleepover I receive a call at midnight saying he is just sitting up. Not sleeping, not fussing, just stubbornly refusing to lay down. So, when I enrolled him at a Mother's Day out program it was with a small inkling of forebode about naptime. Enter a desperate search on Amazon for something appealing and comfortable looking---some of those napmats are THIN! Once I saw the robot print and read about the snuggly fleece blanket I knew if this didn't work, nothing would! I couldn't believe ti when the teachers said he was falling asleep without ANY backpatting or cuddling!This mat is wonderful, it has enough padding in the bottom to make it comfortable enough. The blanket is warm and soft on the inside. It has a pillow which can be removed for washing. I've washed it three or four times now and it is holding up really well. My son loves the print and he likes to carry it around, makes him feel like a BIG BIG guy! The velcro has held up well and it still rolls up nicely for portability. All in all, this is a purchase that I look forward to using for several years, well worth the slightly higher price than some of the other mats.

Love the material. Is very comfy same as the pillow. My son loves it. He use it for his nap in school and easy to carry and easy to fold and unfold for him to do it

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 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.
