Which is better for a hard floor?

The HulooSleep. It has a PVC anti-slip base, while the Plush Flannel does not list one. Both are memory foam, but the HulooSleep is less likely to slide.

Is the extra thickness of the Plush Flannel worth it?

If you want maximum cushioning for a crawling baby or toddler falls, yes. The 0.2-inch difference is small, but the flannel top also feels softer and warmer than coral velvet.

Hard to say from specs alone. The HulooSleep has far more ratings, which suggests a tested design, but both use slow-rebound memory foam and similar fabrics. The HulooSleep's PVC base may reduce wear from sliding.

Which is easier to clean?

Both wipe clean. The Plush Flannel has a water-resistant surface; the HulooSleep is stain-resistant and water-repellent and can also be vacuumed.

Is the HulooSleep safe for babies?

Yes. It carries OEKO-TEX, CPC, GCC, EN71, TSCA, PFOA-free, CPSIA and ASTM certifications. The Plush Flannel carries OEKO-TEX, CPSIA and ASTM.

Does the HulooSleep smell when new?

Some buyers report a temporary new-product scent. Air it out before use. The Plush Flannel does not list this complaint, but it has far fewer reviews.
