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!

LOVE these rest mats! I love that they are laying on a cover and not straight on their little cot. The pillow is included so no worries about losing it. Easy for them to roll up themselves and very easy to wash! My son is on year two with his and my daughter used hers for three years and still going strong!

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.

My twin sons love their preschool sleeping bags for naptime. It's easy enough for a 3 year old to unroll and roll up independently, with some practice for folding in the blanket portion that overhangs. My only retraction from a 5 star review is the material on the interior of the blanket is inconsistent. The one planets one has a nice fleecy fabric inside, and the other wild animals one is just plain cotton. Still soft but not as cozy. I'm glad they don't notice, but I sure did. Throw in the washer without the pillow inserts and hang dry or 40min on low!

I purchased two of these nap mats about 11 months ago for my 4 and 6 year old nephews to use with their cots when they sleep over my house. They wash up well and have kept their color. I am currently trying to warm my 22 month old son up to the idea of sleeping in a big boy bed, and so we start bedtime out on the cot with one of these nap mats. He likes to tuck himself in and snuggle for a bit before I transfer him to his crib. Over the past month, this routine has helped to gently remind him that he can power down and sleep outside of a crib. He looks forward to lying down on his nap mat.

CARE
I use a top loader with an agitator (it's what I have!) and I hang the mats to dry over the shower rod and pop the vent/fan on. They do take about 24 hours to fully dry, but I find that the quality of the fabric and colors is preserved because they haven't been in the high heat of a dryer. Also, I noticed some reviewers complaining of pilling in the fabric, so I avoided the dryer as that is often the culprit.

PROS
Quality: Fabric quality is very good, warm and snuggly with no pilling. The colors are also still vibrant almost a year after purchase with proper care.

Trolley Sleeve: The trolley sleeve is a pretty thoughtful feature that allows you to attach the rolled up mat to a suitcase.

Compact Storage: Since they roll up nicely and velcro shut, I am able to store them neatly in a closet.

CONS
The pillow is small and bulky so it is not very ergonomic. The width is fine, but the pillow should be longer and flatter so that a kid's neck isn't cranked up unnaturally. I find that my son doesn't lay his head on the pillow part and instead scoots down a bit which makes the blanket portion ride up onto his face. When I have time, I plan to remove stuffing from the pillow and sew it shut again to solve this issue.
