Nap Mats For Toddlers and Children

Monday July 17, 2006
Nap Mat From Baby BoomIf you're looking for the perfect nap mat for your toddler to take along to sleepovers, to use at a daycare or simply to camp out, look no further! This adorable nap mat from Baby Boom, a division of the Betesh Group, is functional, practical, and good to look at too. The ultra light nap mat comes with an attached blanket and built-in pillow. The best part about the nap mat is that you can simply fold it up and put it away in a convenient carry backpack which your child can easily handle. Or, you can tote it around via the attached carry handles.

The nap mat comes in a variety of fun prints which will appeal to your toddler. Nap Mats are available at JC Penney. Here's the review of the nap mat from Baby Boom.

I’ve found a great nap mat for my children at http://www.kidsdesignz.com. Great service too! They are similar to these, but the blankets on ours appear to be larger so they won’t shift as much if they roll around…

My daughter is totally in love with her nap mat. She takes it everywhere, she even holds it while she’s in the carseat. I had a hard time finding another one since the one she has worn from weekly washing. I found it again on JCPenney online. I had tried several JCPenneys stores, but they’ve been sold out. I’d recommend this nap mat to any mom/dad for their toddler. They are soft, cute, and very convienent!

The Best Nap Mat on the market I have found is the Original Nap Pack from Crafty Baby. It is a cozy fleece and my 2 sons and daughter have loved theirs. My daughter has used hers for over 4 years now and still looks great.

I purchased one of these mats and I also bought one from www.kidsdesignz.com. After comparing them side by side I have to say I like the one from kidsdesignz much more. I highly recommend checking out their site.

For majority of kindergarten and Preschool, kid nap mat must be washable and anti-bacterial. The way it could and must be done is to let parents buy their own kid nap mat. Kids are keeping their nap mats in school for whole week and get it back home in the weekend to wash it. This way your kids will always be far from bacteries and can also personalised their nap mats.

We had this mat from JC Penny’s and it fell apart after 2 washings. It was very thin and not very padded.
I got a top of the line mat from Custom Baby Boutique and it’s beyond wonderful!
My Emily had the hit mat of the class. The quality is amazing, almost 2″ thick and has the softest minkee material where she lays.
Even my husband was impressed with the quality, it’s truly like custom bedding your child takes to school with them ~ and they are personalized with their name or initials!
I have a friend that has had hers for 3 years and washed it almost weekly and it’s still going strong! I highly recommend them, an investment but they last the entire preschool years so you are not buying one each year.

After doing a bit of research and checling out other recommendations here, I eneded up going with the nap mats on Kidsdesignz.com. The other mats recommended here were cute too, but way over priced for comparable quality. And you had to pay extra on some for a blanket! I was able able to personalize the blanket with some embroidery with my childs name and a design which I let her pick out. Their quailty and service is top notch. My order was shipped the very next day even though I was expecting a few days delay from adding on my personalizations!!

We’ve received positive feedback on the Wildkin Nap Mats we carry. They have a cotton/polyester printed fabric with polyester batting fill. They measure 20″ x 50″, including a connected polyfill pillow (20″ x 9″) that’s suitable for preschool. The attached blanket (30″ x 40″) is lined with 100% cotton flannel with a light layer of polyester fill for added warmth. They are also machine washable on gentle cycle in cold water and hang dry. The Wildkin Nap Mats also conform to U.S. flammability test requirements for sleeping bags as set forth in CPAI-75.
