Can anyone recommend an organic mattress that will fit this? I found an LA BAby that said organic, but it was just the cover. Thanks.

We went with Naturepedic Organic Cotton Portacrib Mattress. The filling is organic cotton. The waterproof lining is polyethylene, rather than PVC. The fit to the DaVinci crib is perfect.

I bought a full-size cotton coil premium mattress for Overstock.com and it works great, fits perfectly, very comfortable, mattress is heavy though, weighs about 90 pounds and is thick. I would only stick with the full-size though, twin would be to small and queen would overhang off of frame, have had frame and mattress about 1 1/2 years and am very pleased with it.It is hard to put frame back into couch mode with mattress on it, be mindful about how heavy of a mattress you are going to get, for my mattress, I just pull it off and put back to couch mode. Good Luck

A standard crib mattress works great we bought the Sealy Cotton Bliss 2-Stage Organic Crib Mattress and like it.

We went with an average thickness on the mattress because we also got the trundel and need a thickness that works with it to fit under the bed. I think it looks nice and is pretty confy. --Hope this helps

Personally I feel that the Dream On Me Evenflo Baby Suite Selection 300 Foam Mattress with Square Corner (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009RPH72I/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc;=1) is a better fit, even though its not as firm. As another reviewer mentioned, the mattress is a bit narrower than the Evenflo Portable Baby Suite, there are some noticeable gaps, not HUGE gaps, but definitely doesn't fit as snug as the other mattress I mentioned.

We have the naturepedic crib mattress in the cradle. It is not custom made. Left it in there for a couple of weeks before the birth of our baby and it settled into the shape of the cradle. Sure it is not a perfect fit but it is fine and works. No complaints from our baby yet.

Hi this is super old so I don't know if you'll see it, but Phoenix over at Mattress Underground really knows his stuff about mattresses and what to do in this situation. He's got a great long standing forum that covers everything you've ever wanted to know and more about mattresses and toppers and materials. ( I know this sounds like I'm a paid shill, but I'm not... I swear. :) I've just had really good luck over there when I've had questions of this sort.)

We're very happy with this mattress. My son bought one for his baby. I ended up buying one for my home and one for the other sons baby as well

I bought the dream on me 5'' coil mattress for portable crib. It fits great and it's perfect for my baby. When I first got the portable crib I bought the foam one. It's too hard and that's why I got the coil one. I highly recommend it.

I would suggest sticking with a spring mattress if you are concerned about weight/sagging. If you notice the store floor models of the solid "memoryfoams" they all have a bit of a sink from people just testing them --- I went with a combo model - individually wrapped coils/springs with only the outer layer memory foam. for us it was much better and breathes more cooler.

Angie, I purchased the "Dream On Me 3 Foam Play Yard Mattress" AND the "American Baby Company 100% Cotton Value Jersey Knit Porta-Crib Sheet" and they fit perfectly. They are very soft and hold up after several wash cycles too. I hope that helps you out. Oh, BTW, I also have a "Saftey First" P&P.;

I have yet to find sheets that fit this mattress. I would look into another mattress, this mattress is the worst. After only a few months. The mattress began to sink in the middle on both sides. I would flip the mattress, however that didn't work.

Good morning. Forgive my delay in responding, in the hospital attending to my Dad... You are right in that the Encase Protctive Cover has a significant amount of play with regard to the depth, but though I am rather anal with my bedding, have not found this cover in any way uncomfortable, having placed the 'slack' side-which has elastic running around its perimeter- to the underside of the mattress. You do not say whether you are purchasing the cover as 'general protection,' or as a remedy for or guard against bedbugs. Having just gone through THAT horrific ordeal, let me assure you that any inconvenience that might have even remotely been perceived by the Encase Protctive Cover would have been tolerated! Once the matress pad and then the top sheet is in place, the Encase Protctive Cover cover does not move about, at all. More importantly the quality of the Encase Protctive Cover was wonderful. Soft, pliable, and without the plastic feel of several of the covers! All and all, a good choice! We are quite satisfied with them, now using the Encase Protctive Covers to protect a total of four of our mattresses and box springs. (Though I will admit to not being quite as satisfied with the box spring covers which do not seem as durable. Were I to do it again I might choose to use the mattress covers for both, despite the cost.) There you have it... Hope this has helped.

honestly, I have not found any sheets that fit. I've been using regular size crib sheets, they are big but I just try to tuck most of it under. I got a waterproof mattress cover that is from made from the same company and it fits well. I found it on overstock, searching the company's name. They have sheets for it as well but I haven't tried them.

Other reviewers say it's only an organic cover. So its inside content is not organic. However the cover should protect your baby from anything on the inside. BUT I only know that from other reviewers. I appreciated that there were no funky smells with this mattress, meaning it has less chemicals than memory foam.

Go around to some mattress shops in your town and try them out. Especially the memory foam and latex ones, and make notes of the ones you like. If you have the names of the models of national brands that you like, you'll be able to give Chuck a better idea of what you like. I personally said pretty much the same as you and probably would have picked an 8 going in cold. I went to a Tempurpedic shop and tried out the mattresses and realized I wanted one just a little bit firmer, so when I corresponded with Chuck I picked a 7, and I'm very happy with it. But you're the only who can decide.

I use a padded cover called the "cuddle bed" that I bought through Costco, and it is extremely comfortable. You could use deep pocket type sheets or most likely any store bought cover if you measure the height of your mattress with the topper on.
