Is the fabric breathable to let air escape when jumped on, or if a child suddenly jumps on it does it feel like jumping onto an air-filled balloon?

It is completely breathable and wipes off clean easily. This pad has been a life saver in our house. We stand it up against a wall and the boys run and literally crash into it. It does not fall and no one needs to be holding it. They also jump on to it from their beds. Great buy!

The air doesn't escape, it's like a giant zip lock bag but you can unzip the zipper & take some of the padding out or to let some of the air out. Foam will fly out if you unzip the zipper too wide & jump on it though.

Breathable. No balloon type feel. Kids have loved it but will slide if on a hard floor

It is something in between but closer to the air-filled balloon. It lets the air out slowly, so there is a lot of proprioceptive feedback going to the child who jumps onto it. The fabric is slippery. They can sometimes bounce off of it. Kids love it.

It's filled with foam chunks! I use it for kids to fall on jump in etc! They love it! It's not a tramp or a mat.. Think of it as a big pillow! Great for sensory integration fun too!

honestly, ive never thought about the breathability if the fabric, but we use it all the time in the heat and my kid never turns into a total sweatbag. hope that helps!

My toddler is kind of sweaty when she wakes up, but she tends to sweat anyway. I am probably not terribly helpful, but I honestly don't think its the cover. This one doesnt feel like plastic, more like fabric, so I don't think its bad at all. I sleep with a similar cover on my mattress, and don't sweat.You definitely use a fitted sheet over this, so your body would not be in contact with this cover.

The mesh feels like is on top of shaped foam. It does breathe really well for me...I have an Aeron chair as well. There is an air space between the mesh and the foam that allows some air circulation I think. It stays nice and cool when sitting for a long time. The only problem is that my cat loves to take possession when I stand up. I've had mine for several months and so far am very happy. It's not as adjustable as the Aeron chair, but provides comfort when sitting for long hours.

It is light nylon and not too breathable but the panels have openings that can let as much air as you like in. There are Velcro strips at the seams that you can leave closed or open

It doesn't self-inflat, you give it a few short bursts of breath and it's inflated. What I learned about it is that it's most comfortable Not totally inflated -- you need some "play" to cushion. Also, don't miss out on the "secret" -- it's not only soothing comfort for the tush, it's heaven for feet (partially inflate and put it on the floor and put your tootsies on top, feels wonderul, especially on flights). My husband and I really had delightful relief on flights.

Yes, I feel it is breathable.... It is like a thin terry cloth material on the outside. (Very thin plastic on the inside) We put the fitted sheet over it and its fine!

It is like woven fibers feels like felt. It is transparent. It is not a cloth.

I don't feel confined in the chair, but the smaller the person in the chair the higher the fabric goes so a really small person it might feel a little isolated. The fabric is soft not like canvas so you can move pretty easily. Hope that helps.

It's 2 layers of fairly heavy canvas. However, the baby isn't wrapped up in the fabric, and there's plenty of room for air flow to keep the baby cool. You may have sweat on your back in summer, but nobody said parenting was glamourous ;)

I personally have not slept on it for a full night but my children do not seem to have a problem with it being hot or sweaty. The material that it is covered in is like a nylon mesh but softer (if that makes sense). It is extremely comfortable, my husband and I are thinking of getting one in a larger size. I hope that helps!

I didn't find it hot. I had it comfortably adjusted to block out light and still had air circulating. And it never felt sticky. The material is smooth and satiny, so feels good.

Technically I think it is designed for more breathability. That being said I have found that it does provide a little more "give" than the firm mattress on its own. Naturpedic also makes a quilted topper of sorts for toddlers that is designed to provide more cushion. That might be more along the lines of what you're looking for!

It is sturdy like a windbreaker fabric - possibly a bit heavier - what is nice is it is not bulky and crinkly like the cheap poly tarps - You need to use a sleeping pad between you in the ground. We purchased KYMAC sleeping pads - the size of a grapefruit when in it's pouch. Blows up in about 20 puffs of air - INSULATES and Stayed inflated ALL NIGHT - amazing. Use the tarp and that pad and you will sleep like a baby.

yes, the material don't breath. It is hot to sit in expecially in summer. I think the big disadvantage is the belt is too short to match the body of my 19 months old son.

Breathable cotton for ventilation is what it says on site to buy them. Bought them for my grandchildren aged 7*5*5. They were to big.
