All Nap Mats

{ Mint Nap Mats }


Mint nap mats are perfect for younger children and toddlers, Mint nap mats are padded and lined with nylon and cotton with a ribbon trimmed, soft, fleecy attached blanket.   This is our most popular nap mat line and the only style with an outside pocket.  The pocket is the perfect place for embroidery so that day care, preschool and kindergarten teachers can know who the nap mat belongs to when rolled up.

Mint nap mats roll up and have a Velcro closure with carrying strap. They have a soft fleece blanket attached and a removable foam pillow.  Mint nap mats are about 1" thick.  MyNapPak nap mats are just slightly thicker.  Janiebee nap mats are the only substantially thicker nap mat on the market that we are aware of.

To clean, just remove kid and pillow, and then toss the nap mat in the washing machine.  Perfect for daycare, preschool or kindergarten.

The best place to personalize the nap mat is on the outside pocket or on the bottom corner of the blanket.  By default we will personalize the pocket unless otherwise noted in the special instructions.  Mint nap mats are very sturdy.  Measures 18.5" x 46".

A quesiton that comes up time and time again is “Why does the blanket and pillow have to be attached?” In most cases, many kindergarten and preschool facilities require that nap mats come with everything attached. The first thought of mothers is that it may be to keep everything together and in one place so that mats and pillows don’t get mixed up during the day. While that’s true, the real reason the requirement is in place is for safety purposes. In a full classroom, it can often be hard to keep an eye on two or three dozen kids taking a nap all at once. With attached blankets and pillows, the risk of choking on a blanket greatly reduces if the teacher isn’t there to watch the child. There are mats available that don’t have an attached blanket and pillow, but many schools these days require that everything be attached, so be forewarned that you may have to return your mat if it doesn’t meet the school’s requirements. All Mint nap mats come with everything attached, so you won’t have to worry about a potential mat rejection.


“My daughter loved her Mint backpack so much that she insisted I look into whether or not they also made mats as well….and they do! I was so thrilled when I found Mint nap mats on your site as well. They’re a really awesome company and now that I know about their products, I’ll definitely be back for more when next school year rolls around!”


Kids love the colorful designs of Mint products. Mint’s fiercest competitor in the toddler and young child product arena though is a company called Stephen Joseph. Instead of taking a simple contrasting color approach to making fun and child friendly items, Stephen Joseph uses vivid imagery and animals on their products to make them stand out from the crowd. Depending on your taste in style, you may like the sometimes “over the top” design features of Stephen Joseph backpacks and nap mats, or you may prefer the simpler contrasting color method that Mint takes.

Additional description
  1. Mint nap mats are perfect for young children or toddlers as they’re lined and padded with cotton and nylon. On the outside of each mat is a beautiful ribbon trim, as well as a fleece blanket that comes attached to every mat. Mint personalized nap mats are by far our most popular mats and are the only type we offer that has an outside pocket attached to it. The pocket is where we generally put our personalized embroidery, as it’s the best place for kindergarten teachers to find it when the nap is rolled up and put away inside of a cubby hole or something similar. If you’d like to have the embroidery put elsewhere though, please let us know.


    Each Mint nap mat can be rolled up and can be closed by using the Velcro strips along the mat. The carrying strap also makes the mat easy to transport, either by a child or their parent. The 1” thick mats are extremely comfortable. And because of many day care and school regulations, each Mint nap mat has a pillow and blanket attached. Be sure to check your school’s requirements if you wish to purchase a mat that doesn’t have an attached mat or blanket. MyNapPak nap mats are a bit bigger and thicker than these Mint mats, but no mats on the market are substantially thicker that they’d be considered a better buy. Believe us, 1” is plenty thick enough considering the type of padding inside each of these mats.


    Each mat is easily machine washable and all you have to do is remove the pillow from the top of the mat and throw it into the washing machine. The mats are ideal for preschool and kindergarten aged kids, as they’re easy to clean and easy to maintain. Each mat measures 18.5” wide and 46” long, and as was mentioned earlier, we put our customization not on the mat itself (so it isn’t hidden by your child lying down), but on the outer pocket of the mat to make it easier to identify when it’s rolled up.


    Mint products have become so popular because of not only their outstanding quality and attention to detail, but also because of the colors and designs they implement into all of their products. Each Mint product features a signature colorful trim pattern and contrasting color scheme that just pops right off whatever you’ve bought. With great contrasting colors like blue and lime green or black and red, your son or daughter will definitely find a color scheme they love for their next nap mats. And if you’re unsure what color to make the trim, leave the tricky stuff up to us. Once you’ve figured out the main color of the mat, all you have to do is specify that you’d like us to take care of matching the trim in the “Trim Options” section of your order and we’ll make sure everything matches when it gets to your door.
