I used this as a bed until my baby was about 2 months old, and then used it temporarily for things like playing with a mobile. I am now selling it because the size is no longer suitable. It has a zipper and is portable, so it's convenient for overnight stays. I used a towel when using it, so I don't think there are any noticeable stains. However, please understand that this item has been stored by a private individual, so there may be overlooked stains, and that it is a used item that a child has used. When shipping, I would like to make it as compact as possible, so please note that I may remove the inner cushion for packaging.
