My son loves this. When he is tired he has a little nap on it and also likes to roll around on it as we have hard floors. It is not too thick and, even though I didn't check the wash instructions, I threw it in the washing machine and hung it on the line to dry and it didn't lose its shape. perfect for play pens or to just throw on the floor. the pattern is cute too and is unisex so i am keeping for the next little one when they arrive. They do matching bedding, highchair seat, beanbag, changing mat, v feeding pillow in the tarok design. needless to say, i am saving up for them!
