Wildkin Nap Mat with Pillow and Blanket, Preschool Rest Mat

My son is obsessed with this nap mat. When we bring it home from daycare on weekends to wash it, he loves to snuggle up with it on the floor. I think he would be thrilled if I let him sleep in it in his crib 🤣 I initially thought the fabric was a little scratchy but it’s definitely softening up with washing. It seems really well made and I would absolutely purchase it again.

While we were in the process of enrolling our son into daycare, they showed us this product and told us that we needed to get one for his use during naptime on their cot. We went with their suggestion, selected a style and placed our order. The fabric on the Olive Kids Wild Animals Nap Mat isn't very soft, but it isn't course. The amount of filling could be compared to a light sleeping bag, which is fine if the sleeping environment isn't terribly cold. There is a small pillow that can be removed and is enough for a child to sleep on. We have owned our nap mat for almost 2 years and has had at least 3 days a week of use. It has been washed since owning it and it has held up well (see associated pictures taken after a recent wash). When we initially received the order, we took it out of the packaging, gave it a once over and placed it down on the floor for our little one to check out. We did lay him down on it and covered him, which he quickly got out of it, stood up, looked it over and checked it out. He did spend a couple of hours over a day or two getting familiarized with the nap mat before we took it to daycare the first time, as we wanted to make him feel that he had something from home for naptime. Based on what we found out when we picked him up after his first day, he had no problem going down for his nap and easily went into his nap mat. If you're looking for some form of frequently used sleeping solution for your little one, that can be easily stored, then this Olive Kids Nap Mat is definitely a good solution. This could be used on either the floor or on some form of surface, like a close to the ground cot. If you found this review "Helpful", please click the button below.

I purchased this for my 2.5 year-old son to use for nap time at his preschool. I was skeptical that he would use it as he has never used a nap mat before, but he loves it! He immediately fell in love with it when we took it out of the box. We unrolled it, and he practiced "napping" (and snoring!) in it. My son is big for his age, and he has plenty of room to stretch out and get comfortable, but it is still snug and cozy. He can easily carry it using the shoulder strap when it is rolled up. His four-year-old big brother tried to take it over because he thought it looked pretty cool too. So, this nap mat gets points for being something that my son thinks is really neat while serving a functional purpose. From an adult perspective, the print is adorable. I had my son's monogrammed with his name at a local store, and it made it that much more special. As far as construction goes, it is made well, although I don't anticipate getting more than one school year of use out of it. I love that you can remove the pillow for washing. I wash the nap mat in our front-loading washing machine on the delicate cycle in cold water only. I then fold it the way it should look when unrolled and allow it to air dry on a drying rack. If I wash the nap mat in the evening, it is dry by the next morning. I would not recommend putting the nap mat in the dryer as I think it will shorten the lifespan.

I searched for quite a while between boutiques, standard stores such as Walmart/Target/Academy, and online stores for a quality napmat that was affordable. The price ranged greatly and the quality ranged greatly. I finally found this napmat and am very happy I chose to purchase this particular one. 1) Quality: The cushion is thick enough for my 2 year old son to comfortably sleep on the hard floor in his daycare. He never complained. The pillow is a little bit thicker for that extra support for his head. I've washed this every week to every other week and it's been a year later and it still looks and feels like new. In fact, it's broken in so its more comfty and soft even! 2) Cleaniness: I am able to easily remove the pillow if I want to and throw the napmat into the washer and dryer. Lastly, 3) Convenience: It is very lightweight with a shoulder strap to throw on your shoulder and keep hands free. It rolls up small easily and has velcros to secure the ends while transporting. I bought this at a great price and for less than other subpar napmats I've come across elsewhere. My 3yo naps on this daily at daycare. I will be buying another for my now almost 2yo daughter.

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 preschooler loves his mat. Its big enough for him to feel cozy during nap time and great pillow for head comfort.

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 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.

It is very cozy and warm. The little pillow is perfect for a toddler (not too big and fluffy). All my son's teachers thought it was so cool.

Good size and maybe a little big for a three year old. Cute and soft. Easy to roll up and wash. I have a front load washing machine and the rinse & spin 1200 cycle was fine and even a low tumble dry. No problems. Very happy with it and little one really enjoys it! Too big to lug to pre-school but it is perfect for camping (even if it’s just in the living room!).

It is quite nice. I like the material and design .. looks long lasting

El tamaño es de 1.20 de largo, suficiente para un niño de hasta 6 años. Es cómodo y hasta el mismo niño puede cargar con el gracias a su modo de almacenaje que tiene un acabado de maleta

I bought it 2.5 years ago for my son to used to daycare and love it. Advice for when wash it it to wash it with delicate. Designed , size, thickness and quality is very very good.
