We’ve also used it while traveling for a bed for our toddler to keep him secure in an air b& b when we didn’t want him wandering in the middle of the night. The bottom is like the padding of a comforter, padded enough to put in the backyard to play in, but you might want some extra cushion if it’s for sleeping.
