How flat is the mattress? We just bought a Lullaby Earth which is high in the middle and sloped at the edges. Baby rolls over and gets stuck!

This mattress is mostly flat. It doesn't have the air in it like you see in the low end "less expensive" mattresses on the shelf. It's solid, and may even have a slight concave to the center to prevent any rolling off in my opinion. Have 2 haven't had any roll offs from either.;)

Completely flat. And fits tightly in the crib. If you had one that sloped, I would return it for a refund - that's not a proper mattress, nor is it safe.

It's super flat. Seamless, too. No issues rolling and the sheets don't pull the corners up like they did on the IKEA mattress we had before this one.

I think my boy did tend to roll to the edges but I don't know if it's because of the mattress. He doesn't sleep on it much any more though as he gets older.

It does get all the way flat - or darn close to it from what I can see... Pediatricians recommend newborns sleep on a slight incline anyway as they're often a bit congested after birth so the flat that it's not totally flat makes it even more ideal for a bassinet. We loved this item and our baby slept in it next to us until she was 10 weeks old.

Yes thats what we did, but my husband had to adjust it because it has a wheel in the bottom that did not allow to go down the bed, he cut it and left it as a semi circle. If your bed is a box spring you will not have this issue.Another person said that between the rail bed and the mattress is a space that can be dangerous for the baby, I fixed that rolling 2 blankets as long pillows and problem solvedThe other issue is that my baby likes to move a lot so I make every single night a pillow barreer so it works as a third bed rail. I will try to send you a picture so you can see it. Its a nice product!

Sorry I didn't get with you right away. I bought it for my granddaughter so I had to get in touch with my daughter to ask her. She said it fits a regular crib mattress. She put a regular fitted sheet over it. She said that she likes it because when the baby moves, it doesn't make noise so the baby doesn't wake up.

Your baby is heavier than mine, but it is a firm mattress and our son does not sink in it. If your baby is sinking and the mattress is the issue (assuming you've ruled out the crib based on your question), I would stop using the mattress immediately for safety. That is not normal, and you should be able to return the mattress.

You need to buy a separate mattress! A firm one, better for the baby's back!

My 32 lb toddler still sleeps on it. I haven't had any problems. Sorry! This is the second mattress we bought. Is your crib base good? Maybe not enough support there.

Using the mattress frame from our crib there's only about an inch difference from the mattress to the top of the side. My son hasn't rolled out yet and he's been in this bed since December, but sometimes I'll find him with his feet or arm dangling out

A family members baby has been sleeping on it since she first came home and she is just fine. My 9 mo old sleeps on it every night since she was 7 mo old, I highly recommend it. Her head doesn't sink into the mattress but it's definitely not as firm as regular baby mattresses

Hi! It's a mattress, but a thin one (compared to your standard crib). About an inch and a quarter maybe? My baby had no trouble sleeping on it and it's MUCH better than the mattress it comes with. We loved her co-sleeper situation- it saved my sleep, our sanity, and our nursing relationship!

I was wondering the same..is it all one part or is there gaps in between? Where the mattress goes? No gaps would be wonderful and sturdy.

The mattress is set rather low into the crib....it could be problematic for a shorter person....unless a thick mattress is used in the crib.&#128522;

Telly, I agree, The one we bought only has two positions all the way up for newborns and all the way down for toddlers. We had a terrible time putting this thing up as the instructions confusing. However we like the crib very much and have gotten good use for it. P/S We fold it up and slide it under our bed till we need it.

No I have not had any issues like that. Perhaps you may want to check and make sure it is put together correctly. Or depending on the weight of the baby could be making it slant as well. Hope this helps a little.

We used a regular twin mattress. The sides form a sort of barrier to keep a little one from rolling out of the bed. A pillowtop may be a little higher and you might lose some or all of the barrier.

That's what my husband and I have used this for all along. The mattress is the right kind for a newborn - you don't want something too cushy. I do have to agree with a previous commenter who said that you would need a lot of space next to your bed - you do need a fair amount. But so easy to set up!
