Is a 1" rest mat thick enough for daycare naptime?

Yes. The 1" rest mat is lighter and folds smaller than a 2" mat, so children can carry and store their own mats. If you want more cushion for longer rest periods, our 45" and 48" rest mats are 2" thick.

What is the difference between the tri-fold and quad-fold rest mat?

Both are the same 24" x 48" mat. The tri-fold folds into three sections to 24" x 16.25" x 3.5". The quad fold folds into four sections to 24" x 12.5" x 5", which fits a shallower cubby, and costs $2 more.

How do I clean a vinyl rest mat?

Wipe the vinyl surface down with your center's usual disinfectant between naps and let it dry before stacking. For a softer sleeping surface that can go in the wash, add a fitted rest mat sheet.

1" Daycare Rest Mats, 24 x 48 Tri-Fold Vinyl

Description

Our 1″ rest mat is the lightweight daycare rest mat. At 24″ x 48″ x 1″ it gives preschoolers a full-length place to rest, but it is light enough for children to carry to their spot, fold, and put away themselves, which makes naptime cleanup faster for teachers. The 1″ polyfoam core is covered in our soft, durable vinyl, sewn rather than heat sealed for long-lasting use in a busy classroom. All of our foam and vinyl products are CPSIA 2008 compliant.
