Why did you choose the 252 coil over the 150? Happy with firmness? Anyone using a quilted cover pad?

Very happy with the firmness. Perfect for my little one. Put a thin quilted cover pad on it and was just perfect. No complaints with this mattress. It is very heavy but that didn't bother me

I chose this one after reading reviews on multiple sites. I liked that it had dual firmness - for when baby is small and when she gets older.I didn't end up getting a cover pad because the cover on the actual mattress is so thick and waterproof.

Everywhere I read they stressed on the firmness of the mattress for the new born and affect on the spine, hence the firmer mattress. I am happy with the firmness of the mattress and plus it is waterproof on the infant side which helps as well. Not sure about the cover pads, everyone's opinion is a little different, so I decided to skip that for now

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

Hi Taisha, I'm not certain if the 4" thick isoform pad is something that you're adding to a mattress or if you're considering using this pad alone on the platform. Usually memory foam pads, as I know them, are meant to be an addition to a mattress, but you may be talking about something else. What I can tell you is I have an 8" memory foam mattress that I use with this platform and it works well and is quite comfortable, though on the firm side, which is my preference. But the firmness has more to do with the mattress and less with the frame. In fact, a slatted surface is the recommendation for memory foam as it creates the needed airflow so that the heat and mositure from our bodies does not adversely affect the mattress (too much heat can cause sagging, and moisture can create mold/mildew). Hope this info is helpful if not an exact answer to your question.

Yes, you can feel the coils. We put a quilted mattress pad over it, at that point you can't feel them.

Hi The model I bought was the SF-147 which they don't seem to make any longer, however, I just checked out the SF-150 and the pads appear to be identical. The extra pads that I ordered are exactly the same as the ones that came with the machine. I hope this helps.

I'd say medium firmness to firm. Not super firm though. This is my first foam mattress. I LOVE it. It has give, along with support, that I have never gotten from a coil spring mattress. I had back surgery over 20 years ago and have ongoing chronic back and shoulder pain. For the first time in as long as I can remember, I can sleep through the night without pain and wake up feeling refreshed. Particularly when you compare the cost of this mattress to a Tempurpedic, I don't see how you can go wrong.

Ultra firm I would say, but with a softer level on top. No, I do not ever feel the coils.

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.

I don't know. My first was wonderful but developed a silver dollar size hole after two weeks. I did everything exactly as told so was shocked. I ordered new. Wanted to return first one but got sick and didn't. I would like it at the moment but too much pain to get it.I ordered a heated mattress pad and used it with great results instead. Mattress pad was Sunbeam about $40, twin, through Amazon and worth every cent. Never needed above low.sorry, long reply yet without clear answer for you. Good luck!

Thanks so much for your reply. I contacted Livestrong about theirs and they said that the pad itself doesn't pivot but the part it is attached to is considered to pivot, or something like that. I suspect it's the same as this one. I've read that both are very comfortable and since they are both the same I was able to eliminate it from the deciding factors between the two machines.

Both my husband and I feel the pad is firm but very comfortable on the spine and muscles. We are experiencing much better and longer sleep. Hope that is helpful.

I found mine to have the same firmness. The best advice I can give is to force yourself to try it for about 3 nights. You will either love it or hate it. Just take comfort in the return policy!

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...

I am so sorry but the review I wrote should have been for their electric blanket, I entered it on the wrong product. However, I did purchase the heating pad and I do like it very much and there has been no problems with the coils. I've had no problem sleeping on it at all.

Thanks for the response. Actually, I found an electric mattress pad at my local Sleep Number store and it works great. You can't feel any of the wires and the transformer is completely silent.

I would say its on the plush side due to the coil springs. When lying flat its a firm feel if that makes any sense.

Some fitted sheet are a little sloppy, I tuck them in. Others fit fine. It is an 8", square edge mattress, its not much different from a thinner spring coil.
