nap mat for toddler Buyer’s Guide

Peerless Plastics KM100 Rest Mat

If you love the idea of owning a nap mat but aren’t thrilled by the idea of having to squander and fortune and exhaust your funds, then this mat is a real bang for the dollar. It offers unmatched quality at an affordable price. The four-section folding design helps you to save space in your house. Of course, space is scarce in most homes these days.

The soft fabric used in its construction ensures that your child sleeps like a king while the fact that it’s waterproof ensures that you don’t have to worry about them peeing on it. This is a real saviour in a world where nap mats are going at very high prices.

Wildkin Aqua Nap Mat

Wildkin which is made using equal proportions of polyester and cotton makes its way to the 3rd position marking the beginning of the top three items. Imported, Wildkin allows your child to fly off to the dreamland in style ensuring that they enjoy every minute they lay down to rest. Ideal for homes and schools, the roll us design offers easy storage and saves on space.

Given its versatile design, this mat is familiar with daycares, preschools and homes.What’s more, this mat is rigorously tested and sufficiently proven to deliver top-tier comfort. All its parts are lead-free, BPA-fee and phthalate-free. And yes, it conforms to all CPSIA regulations which stipulate the guidelines on what is safe for use and what isn’t. And yes, it also conforms to flammability regulations.

The cotton and polyester exterior which makes use of the two components in appropriate proportions ensures that your child sleeps peacefully. The dimensions of 20 x 50 inches make it ideal for indoor use since it saves on space.

Comfort

Of course, when talking about sleep, the quality comes before the quantity. In short, what counts isn’t the number of hours your child sleeps; it’s the quality of the sleep. To ensure that your child gets top quality sleep, get them something comfortable.

Construction

These are important features which determine whether a given mat is reliable or not.

The size is also another feature which is overlooked by most buyers. Of course, you should ensure that you have the right size for your child. And yes, given the fact that your child is going each day, it’s advisable that you get a size which is a bit large than their current size.

However, don’t get an extra-large nap mat just because you want your kid to use it for long; get a convenient size.

The cost should also be considered if at all you want to have something nice. As always, the price has to be considerable and reasonable. The best ones aren’t the cheapest or the most expensive; the best nap mats are those whose price is convenient.

It’s going to take some training to get your child to get used to sleeping on their nap mat.

After all, they are so used to using their crib or toddler bed (complete with a mattress and bed rail), that the mat may come to a shock to them.  So, consider five tips that will help them with this transition.

Use your own bedding.

First, it’s important to keep in mind that any kind of transition can take some time.

Get a duplicate sheet, pillow, and pillowcase and decorate the nap mat with it.

Implement the mat at home.

Let them sit on it while watching television, or let them actually nap on it for their afternoon slumber.

Let them pick it out.

Show your child some nap mat options. Get them excited about shopping for one in stores or online and tell them they can choose one of three you point out.

Have a play date.

Invite a friend over (who already sleeps on a nap mat) and let them be your child’s guide.

Kids are more likely to accept new things when they observe their peers around them doing the same thing.

Make it fun.

Here are some ideas: give your child their favorite stuffed animal while on the mat; sit with them and rest awhile with them; or read a favorite story on the mat, or even share a snack on the mat.

Important Features to Look For

Ease to clean. From time to time, accidents do happen. So, it’s important that your mat is easy to wipe down and keep clean (and won’t be subject to staining).

When You Know It’s Time To End the Naps

Most toddlers stop their afternoon nap around three years of age. But, some stop napping a little sooner, and others a little later.

The prime napping years on a mat are between the age of one and two.

Refusal to nap. Many toddlers will tell you if they are tired or not. Some break into extreme tantrums around nap time because they have a hard time expressing they don’t need the sleep. Many parents mistake this for them being tired, but it’s them actually try to convey their feelings about not needing one.

Acting non-fussy without one. If your toddler skips a nap, and they remain active and in good spirits the rest of the day, there’s a good chance they aren’t in need of a nap anymore.

Waking up super early. It’s possible that your child is getting too much sleep during the day, so they need less sleep overnight. If they are waking much earlier than usually, consistently, try skipping their nap.

Wrapping Up

Toddler nap mats are great items that help your child rest in peace and comfort when they are away from their home.

We could make a table of width and length for many nap mat brands, but a picture is worth a thousand words.  We have the same five year old boy (44″ tall) resting on different nap mats so you can really get a feel for the relative width and length of each brand.  And later we have the size table.

Nap mat thickness

More thickness helps your child be comfortable on the hard floor.  Generally, less expensive mats will be an inch thick, while more expensive mats will be two inches thick.  Most mats use polyester batting for the fill.  The batting compresses relatively easily compared to Ozark Mountain Kids nap mats who pack the fill inside the mat, giving a mattress like feel to their design.

The most supportive nap mats on the market are foam pad designs like the Kindermat and Daydreamer options.  Several thicknesses are available, up to inches.  A inch foam pad is the most comfortable option for most children.

Thickness

It is interesting to note that the thickness of nap mats range from 1/3″ to 1/2″, the later providing superior comfort for your child. Hands down the Ozark Mountain Kids nap mat is the thickest at 1/2″,  made of a cotton/poly blend and also one of the largest in overall size.

Material

When considering materials we have found the nap mats composed of 100% cotton or a cotton/polyester blend provide the greatest warmth and comfort. Our favorite is the Wildkin Nap Mat which our daughter used for years. It is comfortable, durable and comes in a large variety of prints.

Some nap mats made of 100% polyester tend to be thin, not as warm and even a bit noisy when the child tosses or turns.  Also it seems that many nap mats that are 100% polyester are treated with flame retardant chemicals which can leach into your child’s skin.  Another newer option is a memory foam style mat.  Foams like vinyl are known to off-gas. If you are looking at a memory foam nap mat for your child we recommend My First Mattress which has been 3rd party tested by CertiPUR-US which tests products for off-gassing to make sure they fall into an acceptable range.

Another consideration is the overall size of the nap mat since your child may use the nap mat for several years, from daycare and preschool to stays at grandparents house and short overnight trips. Janiebee nap mats are the largest at 53″ long and 21″ wide, and they are 2″ thick.  I cannot say enough about Janiebee nap mats, they are crazy cute, personalizable, handmade in the USA, and Rene the owner of Janiebee is an absolute gem.

Machine Washable

Every all-in-one nap mat listed in the chart is machine washable. Keep in mind that if the pillow is not removable you may be looking at a longer dryer time than for the removable options. If you are using a vinyl nap mat they are designed to be wiped down after use.

Vinyl Nap Mats

In addition to a vinyl nap mat like Angeles Rest, you can purchase a nap mat cover that can be slipped over the mat and provide additional comfort.  Also these types of covers stay in place as they are slipped onto the vinyl mat.

The blanket and pillow are very thick

A perk of this nap mat over many other similarly priced mats is the heavy blanket.  The blanket is much heavier than Mint or Ozark Mountain Kids nap mats, and just a little heavier than Stephen Joseph.  The pillow is also well stuffed, and removable from the back.

This entry was posted in Nap mat reviews on October 6, 201by bling.

The nap mat pad is removable

The bottom of the nap mat is normally closed off with Velcro.  Pull it apart and the main nap mat pad (which runs from the bottom to the pillow) will slide out.

The main nap mat pad is made of organic wool with an unbleached organic cotton liner.

Nap mat with all the removable liners pulled out

This liner give the blanket a nice weight.  Generally children sleep better with more blanket weight.

With all the inserts removed (along with the carry wrapper) and placed on top of the nap mat, you can see the inner construction and thicknesses.

All of the parts are machine wash and dry, but we do ask that the washer be set to the gentle cycle, and the drier be set to low heat.

With the all-organic wool and cotton construction and removable liners, you can see why this nap mat justifies the price.  Even if your child does not have allergies or asthma sensitivities, the non-toxic construction and benefits of wool bedding might make this a good choice for your child.  And if your child is sensitive, the price of this nap mat is very small compared to medication or visits to the ER.

Roll the nap mat up and pack it home!

Eventually it is time to take the nap mat two or from school.  The canvas wrapper closes on itself with Velcro, and then has a carry strap.

Wool is a dense material, so this nap mat has a nice solid feel and weights three pounds.  – the original sized all in one thick nap mats – and one of our many nap mat reviews. We started carrying them in 201but this American made brand has been manufacturing products in the USA for the last 2years.  And their nap mats represent fantastic American-made ingenuity.  I think these are the biggest bang for you buck in nap mats, as this guide will show.

Sewing Machine and standard presser foot

If you decide to use a directional print as we did, be careful to fussy cut so the design is straight to the cut edge.

Create the straps and handle

Find the two 27″ lengths of webbing. Center one webbing strap 4½” to either side of the center point.

Find your 16″ handle webbing piece. Insert each end of the handle under each strap at a 90˚ angle 5″ from the raw edge. The handle should insert under the strap almost all the way; leave it just short of the opposite edge of the strap to conceal the raw edges. The handle should bow in the middle. Pin the straps and handle securely.

Topstitch the strap in place.  NOTE: We moved the needle to its extreme left position in order to stitch super close to the edge.

Create the main nap pad

Layer the outside piece right side down onto the front, but first pin the straps up and out of the way. In the photo below, we’ve folded back the outside piece so you can see how everything was folded and pinned out of the way between the layers.

How we picked and tested

That said, kids can grow out of small bags quickly, and many kids sleep warm, shedding the bag in seemingly any weather. Olsson says her own kids started using hand-me-down adult bags when they were about and 7, but that they tend to sleep hot. If you have older adult sleeping bags that are in good shape, sure, try them out before buying something new. You could even shrink that air pocket yourself by cinching the bottom of the bag using the drawstring on a stuff sack or a jumbo-size elastic band.

But if you are going to buy a tyke-specific bag—which may help get your kids excited about family camping and outdoor adventures—you should get a bag that will ward off cold and damp and be a camping and sleepover staple for years to come.

Most cheap department-store bags are rated for between 40 and 5degrees, meaning they well may leave your kid shivering on a spring or fall camping trip. Many of them are also made of cotton, which doesn’t do much to repel moisture, be it early-morning dew or a leaky water bottle. Unlike the synthetic materials used in our picks, cotton no longer insulates when wet. We wanted a warm bag that wouldn’t get soggy in a spill.

We knew the ideal bag would be lightweight and portable enough that even toddlers could lug it around by themselves. All the bags we seriously considered weigh less than 3.pounds and come with their own carrying sack.

Kids grow fast. We wanted a single bag that would last a kid a good way through the elementary school years. The bags we looked at are generally intended for kids age or up to or 11, though we also found good options designed for toddlers and teens.

Adult sleeping bags are filled with either down or synthetic materials, and the down-filled bags can cost twice as much as synthetic. Our review of adult bags concludes that down is the best choice for most adult campers. However, we found that companies simply don’t make down bags for kids. Conversations with reps from Kelty and Big Agnes confirmed that the reason is twofold. One, very few parents are willing to pay the extra money for a down-filled kid bag. Two: pee. Kids wet the sack a lot more than adults do and synthetic fill holds up to pee, puke, and other messes a lot better than delicate duck feathers do. So synthetic it is.

Companies simply don’t make down bags for kids.

All the bags we seriously considered are mummy-style bags. That form-fitting shape provides more warmth with less mass than a rectangular bag does. We found that most kids prefer a mummy-style bag, though probably more because it says “I’m a serious camper” than because they’ve calculated the weight and warmth benefits. The most frigid nights we experienced on our weekend camping trips were in Joshua Tree National Park, where temps dipped to 36˚F. All the kid bags we were testing kept their inhabitants warm enough at that temperature.

Dick’s Sporting Goods, Sports Authority, and Cabela’s. We visited company sites to look at the specs on different bags, comparing materials, shapes, features and price. We polled parents we know about the bags their kids have conked out in over the years.

Pull Quote

All the Big Agnes bags integrate with any 20-inch-wide sleeping pad; you don’t have to buy the Big Agnes brand.

We know some parents who reserve pricey gear like this for camping only, and buy a cheaper bag for sleepovers, stair-sliding, fort-building, and the like. And there’s no doubt your kid risks looking like a pint-sized gear geek if she packs her two tiny stuff sacks for a birthday sleepover where everyone else is cuddling up with Elsa and Anna sleeping bags. Then again, she may be the only one to get a good night’s rest.

Having a good crib mattress is very important for two main reasons: it makes the crib much comfier for your baby, and most importantly, it provides a good support for their delicate growing bones.

The National Institute of Child Health & Human Development reports that using a hard mattress, as opposed to a soft mattress, is one of the key factors in helping prevent SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome). It’s important to use a specialized baby crib mattress; a mattress that is meant for adults or older children will likely not be the correct size for a crib, nor will it be firm enough.

Babies will spend up to 70% of their life on the crib mattress. When you think about that, it’s easy to see why it’s important to get a good baby mattress.

Foam Mattresses vs. Innerspring Mattresses

Although the best foam mattresses are just as good as the best innerspring mattresses, you should know about the few key differences between the two.

The Scoop on Foam Crib Mattresses

If you’re familiar with foam crib mattresses from the 80?s or earlier, you might remember low-quality foam which would break down and become brittle over time.

You might be glad to know that this is no longer the case; there have been many advancements over the years, and a properly-manufactured modern foam mattress should not have this issue. However, it’s important not to skimp out and get a cheap foam mattress from an unknown manufacturer.

While foam mattresses that use foam that is specifically designed for mattresses are fine, some low-cost foam mattresses use cheap packing foam to minimize costs, which will lead to deterioration over time.

Foam crib mattresses are generally less expensive than innerspring mattresses, which can sometimes be a factor when it comes to deciding on any baby product. Foam mattresses are also, in general, lighter than innerspring mattresses — about 8-pounds for the heaviest foam mattress, or close to 2pounds for the heaviest innerspring mattress.

The weight: While a heavy foam mattress is better than a lighter one, don’t forget that you have to lift it to change the crib sheets. You wouldn’t want a mattress that is too heavy & cumbersome, so it’s probably best to strike a balance between weight and the ease-of-use for parents. Fortunately, most foam mattresses are much lighter than innerspring ones.

The Scoop on Innerspring Crib Mattresses

One of the biggest misconceptions about innerspring mattresses is that the more coils it has, the better. This has been so ingrained in people’s minds that even other websites will tell you that this is most important.

While the number of coils does somewhat reflect on the density of the mattress, many other factors come into play as well.

Generally, the more metal in an innerspring mattress, the better. According to Consumer Reports, you should look for a crib mattress with around 135-150 coils, with a gauge of 15.or lower.

Remember that an innerspring mattress is typically more expensive than a foam mattress. On top of that, they tend to be a lot heavier.

More expensive is not always better: Innerspring mattresses can be pretty expensive on the high end. The most expensive mattress is not always the best, so just keep that in mind.

Coils: Look for a mattress with around 135-150 coils with a gauge of 15.or lower.

The scorching sun

Did you know that babies’ skin produces less melanin than adults’ skin? This means that even slight to moderate sun exposure can cause your baby unwelcome burns and painful skin conditions. A beach shade tent will keep them comfortably and securely sheltered in the shade while you are trying to figure out the best way to keep your toes inside the shade of the beach umbrella. Hint: it’s impossible.

The crazy wind

Let’s face it. The beach is one of the windiest places on earth. You may find it refreshing but your baby is not a fan of the wind because his skin is delicate and prone to irritation and dryness. The baby beach tent is your only way out. Well, your baby’s way in, to be exact.

The clinging sand

Why parents love it

It is one of the few models that feature a pre-assembled and ready to use sleeping pad, guaranteeing your little one the most comfortable nap experience they can get in a baby tent. What’s more, the sleeping pad is removable which makes it super easy to clean.

All mesh and fabric elements of KidCo PeaPod Plus Travel Bed are UV coated and fire retardant.

Travelling

There are few places as warm and cosy as inside your very own sleeping bag. As a child, it was a treasured friend, my own safe cocoon, a constant companion in my kiddie adventures.

I can only imagine how excited I would have been to trade in my plain old khaki number for one of the following.

Age Specific Areas

Position your diaper changing station to face out into the room so you can still see the room. Place a storage unit nearby for diaper bags, clothing, and other supplies.

Crib Area for infants

Create a separate room for this when possible to allow for a noise-free environment for babies to rest. Furnish with adult rocking chairs, cribs, and other daycare furniture. Place bottle station nearby.

Dedicate a separate room to this area when possible. If not, separate from the busier areas of your room. Furnish with cots, mats, floor pillows, and other daycare furniture.

Personal Storage Area for kindergarteners

Older children need a separate space for their clothing, books, papers, and other belongings after the school day. If you’re looking for daycare storage ideas for these students, open-faced lockers with coat hooks are a great option.

Setting Up Your Daycare Layout

Daycare layout plays a big role in your day to day. If it’s well-organized, children can navigate it with ease. But, if it’s poorly set up it can make your job infinitely more difficult by promoting bad behavior, not engaging children, causing injuries, etc. To avoid your classroom turning into a hellacious death trap, here are some basic rules of daycare room setup.

Create a Circulation Path – One way to keep your daycare room layout in order is to define a clear path of travel within your room. Creating a shorter, direct path from entrance to exit frees up more space for your activity areas, too.

Design Visual Boundaries – Create definition so children can easily know where learning areas start and stop. Use color, room decorations, rugs, shelving units, and other classroom fixtures to separate your spaces.

Utilize Nooks and Wall Space – Corners and wall space are prime real estate in a daycares and classrooms. Don’t waste it on room equipment and furniture. Pull any fixtures away from the wall and use these spaces for quiet reading areas and displays. Opt for products like rolling book cases, double-side storage islands, and other versatile daycare storage ideas that can serve as room dividers and function well in the center of a room.

Use Appropriate Furniture – Select furnishings and fixtures that are size and age appropriate. When possible, buy from a manufacturer that specializes in daycare furniture. Unlike general purpose furniture, daycare furniture is designed specifically for use by children with features like rounded edges, low heights, deep shelving, protective coating, etc.

Decorate Smartly – It’s easy to find daycare decorating ideas these days, but be careful to not go overboard. Engaging and stimulating children through texture and color is important, but needs to be done tastefully to avoid sensory overload. Avoid using strong color schemes and large areas of complex patterns, especially on walls and flooring. Use colors to create boundaries between classroom areas.

You will get a pillow, a sleeping bag and a carry tote that you can use to carry it easily from one place to another. All the accessories that come with it have a monster high theme.

Slumber bags keep children warm so that you can sleep well and also participate in some outdoor activities wearing them. The material used to make a slumber bag should be comfortable to wear and durable.

Nap Mat: This Pap Mat is great for preschoolers, kindergartners, or any little person. There is a Tutorial to make a Nap Mat with velcro on one length to allow for easy removal of the foam pad to wash. It also has a shoulder strap and button tabs.

Gather your materials!

I was a little worried about using a knit for this but it ended up being sewing perfection! You can also use corduroy etc.

With your blanket fleece vertical, round the top right and bottom right corners.

Sew all the way around the bias taped sides of blanket, just to the outside of the outer crease.

Now we are going to add a shoulder strap.

1Finish the raw ends of your webbing by stitching a tight zig-zag along each end of the strap with one side of the stitch hitting over the edge of the fabric. Or an overlock stitch.

20. Through all layers, sew a square with an x in the middle, a typical reinforced strap stitch (is there a technical term for this?) Add a few backward stitches at the beginning and end to secure.

2Starting on the front of the mat, begin pinning the bias tape just before the top left corner. The opening right below the start of the bias tape will be where you insert the pillow later.

You want to add a little tuck like this at the beginning.

2For the corners, just turn the bias tape, leaving a rounded corner, you will trim the excess fabric later.

2Just after you turn the bottom left corner, you want to add your blanket. Align the left (unfinished) edge of your blanket with the left side of your mat. The top of the blanket should hit just under the pillow pocket and the bottom edge of the blanket should be at least a few inches above the bottom edge of the mat. The blanket will be much wider than the mat.

2Continue pinning the bias tape until you hit opening for the the pillow. Insert pillow.

2Start sewing the bias tape. Keep checking that you have all of your layers aligned and that you are sewing through them all. You want to sew just outside the outer fold of the bias tape. Sew all the way around edge.

2Trim any edges even with the outer edge of the bias tape.

Like this.

2Now wrap the bias tape around the edge of your mat. You can pin if you like but I found it easier not to pin so that I could keep checking that all layers were being sewn in.

30. Ideally you want to keep your bias tape flat and stitch through all layers but you might have to be flexible here and let the folds open a little to accommodate the girth of the edge. It is MORE important that all layers get securely sewn into the bias tape then keeping the bias tape flat.

You are seriously almost done! Your mat will look something like this rolled up. We just need to add Velcro closures.

3Roll mat and position other side of Velcro (scratchy hooks) on mat and pin.

3Sew straps to mat using the same formation as the shoulder strap. For the other side, I hand-sewed them to the mat, going through only the top layer, using many small tight stitches.
