My daughters always ask this Grandma to do the research for them. This time it was preparation for preschool, and on the list of things required was a nap mat.
This Grandma hit the internet. Here are the top tips that came from my research.
Tip Number One: Buy a mat separate from the all in one choices.
Mothers who gave ratings and reviews on various websites and blogs generally said it was more economical and you got better quality and more longevity buying the mat separate from the pillow and blanket. Most agreed that if you were not concerned about longevity and cost, Pottery Barn Kids had the cutest ones.
Tip Number Two: Buy a large Two Inch Thick Mat
This Grandma researched organic, memory foam, and even a yoga variety nap mat.
However, the best according to ratings and reviews is an economical, large, two inch thick mat, sealed and waterproof. The Mothers uniformly agreed that there was a big difference between a one and two inch nap mat. The best is at Amazon, given five stars by reviewers: Angeles Rest Angeles Germ-Free 2″ Mat. It is 48″ by 24″ and large, so be careful when looking for sheets. You can buy sheet, pillow and pillow case together on Amazon.
Tip Number Three: Grandma Can Spoil With Cute and Personalized
Most reviewers said to personalize or put the child’s name on everything. That is when this Grandma’s fun began. Of course, I went to etsy.com for some handmade, personalized choices and there are many. This was this Grandma’s favorite for a boy:
This was this Grandma’s favorite for a girl.
Enjoy searching the large selection on your own:
Again, be careful of the size of the cover you purchase so that it will fit the nap mat.
I can just picture my adorable grandchild napping on the beautiful design this Grandma finally picks.
Joy,
Mema
