Nap mats?

[MNH2013]

M moves up classrooms next month. They nap on mats that we are to provide. Any good soft ones? Some of the ones I'm seeing seem pretty thin. I can't imagine that's comfortable to sleep on.

I would like a cute pattern/fabric but if the best ones are those gym type mats then so be it.

My son has been napping on the gym type mat for 3 months now and he seems to like it. I was like you and wanted something cute so I searched Etsy for a cover and never could find anything that I loved. Daycare told me to just buy a body pillow pillowcase to use as a cover. They've already managed to get the zipper stuck and ruin one so I'm glad I didn't spend a lot of money on it. Plus, I only see it on the weekend when I wash it so I don't realize how ugly it is!

This is what I ordered. I got it in March from Amazon just because they weren't in stores yet because it wasn't back to school time. I happened to see them in Wal-Mart yesterday and they are $9 there.

My kid regularly chooses to sleep on the floor rather than his bed, so I can only assume comfort is different when you're under 50 lb.

Also, the pillowcases run about $8 each and the most basic cover on Etsy (just the cover - no pillow or blanket) are roughly $30 each.

swarley and @tokenhoser do you find they still need a blanket or pillow? Wondering if I should get that as well.

When DS sleeps on the floor, he does have a pillow and a blanket. But he is 4, and he is crazy, so I'm not sure it's equivalent to daycare naps.

Mine is 16 months old. He does not have a pillow but he has a blanket. It's just not one of those fancy blankets attached to the nap mat cover.
