M. Davidson - thanks for your reply. I am also considering the Naturepedic Organic 150 mattress and glad to hear it fits well.

Hi Tootsie, we got this crib and the Naturepedic organic 150 mattress. Fits well!The Kalani's metal support is one solid piece & therefore cannot sag in the center.

Has anyone tried the Safety 1st Heavenly Dreams White Crib Mattress with this crib?

I would also like to know the answer to that! You posted a few months ago... did you make a decision? How'd it work out?We are looking at the naturepedic organic matresses and in particular, wondering if we should get the 252 coil or if the 150 coil is OK with this crib. A description of the mattresses suggests that 150 is fine if the mattress support on the crib is very supportive (i.e. wood slats) vs. something that can sag (wire mesh)... Where does the Kalani's metal support fall on this continuum? Very supportive or can it sag?

Hi, can you please tell me which brand and model mattress you settled on and how it fits?

I got the oak color, and it's a nice warm tone- not orange and not pink. It matches our white oak hardwoods nicely. My baby isn't born yet, but I like the solid construction of the crib, and I think it'll be good. The Naturepedic organic 150 mattress does fit well. I also like that there is no chemical smell with either the crib or mattress. Now for bedding!

My mattress is tight too...but it does fit. All mattresses for cribs are tight so the baby doesn't get stuck in the gap. If the mattress is the same dimensions as the crib is ....it should be fine. I don't remember which mattress I ordered but it was for a mini crib since the directions stated NOT to use a full thickness.

I know this message is over a year old, but S. Donley, wondering if you ever tried the canopies from co-sleeper and if either the mini or original worked with the travel lite crib? If not, did you ever find another good solution? Have the same issue - need to keep out curious kitties!!

I bought a crib online, as well as this mattress which I really like a lot, and have had no problems at all with the length of the mattress. As long as your crib is "standard" size, this mattress should fit. It's a very snug fit, but I believe this is done on purpose for safety reasons. I highly recommend the mattress.

I have had 2 other mattresses that were a little smaller than the one recommended for this bed, but the previous mattresses fit the same in both of my cribs. So this crib will support other mattresses other than the one recommended for it. But the recommended mattress fits better in this crib and in my other crib as well. I do think it is a little bigger than most, but it also has less of a gap between mattress and crib sides.

I was wondering the same thing, but the warning is no longer on amazon. I am seriously considering this crib and now I am confused

I just transitioned my daughter to her crib (using this mattress) a week ago, so it may be too soon for me to speak, but so far so good! I also debated about the foam vs. coil but went with coil based on advice from other moms. This one is firm, appears to be of good quality and is reasonably priced.

I would recommend this mattress. We got this for our \7 month old who was having trouble sleeping in her crib. We noticed that she fell asleep on our bed very quickly, but not in her crib. We figured that the mattress we had was not comfortable for her. It is an older mattress. We purchased this mattress for ability to have something more comfortable now and into the future. I did notice a slight difference in the two sides. We put the infant side up for our little one. She fell asleep the first night no problem. It seemed to make a big difference.

It fits pretty well with our DaVinci Kalani 4-in-1 crib. I don't think there is any sizing problem. Maybe good to also check your crib.

Short answer: Yes. However, I don't actually own the mattress you're asking about. Long answer: First of all, I have to say that although I did order this mattress, the one they actually sent me was the seamless version with coils, not the lightweight that I wanted. By the time I received it, I had waited a really long time, because the first shipment never arrived and Amazon re-ordered for me. By the time I got it I really didn't care that it was a different type. I didn't want to send it back and wait for the right one, and it was actually priced higher than the one I paid for. It was the same brand with most of the same qualities, and it wasn't really that heavy. So I can only answer about the coils version, not the lightweight version. Now that I'm writing this, I wonder if I had originally decided on the lightweight because the reviews mentioned less sagging? I don't remember. So mine is the "Naturepedic No Compromise Organic Cotton Ultra 252 Seamless Dual Firmness Crib Mattress" I wasn't looking for sagging until I saw your question, so I just checked. My daughter is 6 months and weighs about 16-17 lbs. She has been using the mattress for 2 months. She is a consistent back sleeper and doesn't move much during the night. There is definitely an indentation in the middle of the bed in the spot where she sleeps. I still have it on the "firm" infant side and have never turned it over. The indentation is noticeable, but I wouldn't say it is dangerous or uncomfortable for her. I may try rotating the mattress now that she's old enough and see if turning it over helps. I guess it's designed to leave it on one side for several months for an infant and a couple of years for a toddler, but it doesn't make sense to me to never rotate it. Now that I can see it I'll have to see how much it bugs me and whether I feel like making a warranty claim...

Congratulations. I have 9 month old twin boys. I did the same thing: had them in the same crib at first. I used one camera then and when I separated them into their own cribs I ordered another camera on-line and used it with the same monitor. I have the Summer Infant Best View Handheld Color Video Monitor with 2.5" screen. You have to toggle between each camera to view each baby (I was bummed that you couldn't view them at the same time) but it works fine that way. Unless you have your cribs very close together, I would recommend two cameras so you can have them at a good enough distance to utilize the zoom feature. Otherwise, the view is too small and you can't check for their breathing (which I'm sure every mother does in a paranoid moment!) I have the cameras mounted on the wall and they can reach them sometimes but they mostly leave them alone. If they detach the power cord, it will just fall to the floor. It isn't long enough for them to bring into the crib. I mention that because I recently received notification of a strangulation risk from the power cords on these monitors. I saw the photo dramatizations and the cameras were set up on a surface close to the baby's crib. Anyway, that's a few months away for you so you have time to think about changing the placement if you have to. The cameras and monitor work great still. I am very satisfied with them. Have fun!!

No, that you will have to purchase separately. The reason being the mattresses can differ by material type and density. hWhat I found online was that most people for safety reasons tend to lean towards a firmer bed. I think we went with a Sealy or Serta based on reviews. Overall most if not all cribs will not come with a mattress as users tend to pick out what they need.

No, I really don't know of any full size crib that comes with a mattress unless it's a special offer. In that case the offer would clearly state that and usually give touva choice between a couple of them with a small price difference. I have not seen the Davinci Parker ever offer the crib along with a mattress in any site.

I had the same problems as Patrick Calahan and Kristin1724. I emailed back and forth with the manufacturer all day today, and was informed "there will still be a gap on the toddler rail." I've since reported this crib to the CPSC (http://www.saferproducts.gov/Default.aspx) because I believe that the design of the converted toddler bed with the rail gap is unsafe. If I had know about this gap before choosing the crib, I would never have chosen the Babyletto Mercer. I now need to purchase a toddler bed for my 22-month-old.

Probably soybean is little better ( just 5%) soybean.. It still has the same problem: baby sinking in the middle of mattress.. And this mattress not gonna stay for 2 years.. So u need to buy another one.. So instead of buying 2-3 times mattresses.. It's better to buy one in babies r us for 250 plus insurance and this mattress will be ok even for next baby! Believe me price matters;)

We used a thicker mattress for comfort, but once the baby got more active the thicker mattress allowed her to stand a little taller in the crib. We simply dropped the mattress frame down further. We've not experienced any further issues, still love this crib. I hope that helps you!

I'd go with this mattress: CRESCENT MINI CRIB 50 COIL MATTRESS.It's the one DaVinci recommended when we purchased our mini crib. there's a 1" gap difference on one end but isn't noticeable. All other measurements are REALLY snug. Special note: Finding sheets was a nightmare cause most mini/portable crib sheets are 1/2" too short (in diameter). I just got a twin size flat sheet and fold it tightly around the mattress on all sides. Works really well.
