interior mat

The box itself is called playpen. The mat is called "interior mat" as can be seen on 2nd website reference. Plaid is not descriptive enough I feel.

The East Coast Gingham Playpen is a traditional wooden playpen that folds flat and comes with its own easy to clean mat.

plaid

This is just a suggestion for "kleed" rather than for "boxkleed": put on a plaid outside the play pen. I guess you meant "leggen" instead of "lagen".

Good luck!

quilt

It depends on what it looks like. If it is made of plastic (easy to clean) then it would probably be called a mat as Linda suggests. But if it is more of a pretty, blanket/quilt type thing, then I think the word 'quilt' would fit. I made one for a friend, last year :-)

agree Linda Flebus : I agree Ellemiek : it all depends on the material the "mat" is made of.
