My 2.5-year-old has been preferring to sleep on her plush rug over her old crib mattress, will this make her bed comfy again?

I actually do not use it. The net made it uncomfortable for my grandson. The picture is very misleading. It has no foam just the net. I would not recommend it. Sorry

It makes it a lot more comfortable than a crib mattress, but I think a regular twin mattress would be better still. I don't know about how it fares over a plush rug.

I think it benefitted my son as an infant and provided extra cushion in his crib & piece of mind for myself (he is now 15 mo old). But I wouldn't recommend it as padding for a toddler.

I bought it for the same reason as SS.Happy. My son is now almost two and has been using it for over a year. It definitely makes a hard crib mattress softer, but I don't know if it can compete with a "plush rug!"

It was definitely comfortable to lay on. Once I had it on our daughter's mattress and covered it with the fitted sheet, I tested it out before laying her on it for the night. I seems extremely comfortable. Soft but not mushy. Our daughter did not do well on the firm crib mattress like they suggest for infants so this was the perfect solution for us. Hope that helps you decide. I definitely recommend this product to anyone who's asked.

Yes, I think this would work well if she is active (as many pediatricians recommend they don't have anything in their crib until they are pretty mobile). If you bought the baby one I think she may outgrow it quite quickly. Our daughter is VERY active at night and always struggled to get comfortable...she is much more content now. This was a good purchase. If you find that your daughter is just a little small for it - she will probably be ready for this one pretty soon! Hope this helps.

I bought this bed for my grand daughter who was 2.5 years old at the time. She had just gone into a "big girl bed" at home. The only spare bed I have in my home is queen size and we felt with the height of the bed off the floor and the inability to use rails, the The Shrunks bed would be the perfect solution. It proved an excellent choice. My other grand daughter who is 5 (she is small for her age) uses the bed when she sleeps over, too.

We used this bed for the first time last night. We used crib sheets on it, and I never once "heard" the bed when she moved. The material is kinda "peachy" or soft on the side that faces toward your child, so there wasn't any squeakiness to the material.

We got a padding set and stuff for a regular crib I think. It still fits. I just tucked it under the mattress. I didn't use the pads because I've heard babies just squeeze under them anyways.

Yes! For extra cushion I also used the rug I had in the living room and placed it underneath the mat in his playing area. But as soon as they become more mobile they will crawl around the house and the hard floors are not a problem for them as I found out. Since I still think it must be uncomfortable, I just had him wearing pants all the time. So although the mat is great, they won't need it for very long.

If your looking to add more softness/cushion to the mattress for a toddler or older child you could add the Naturepedic quilted pad. However it is not a waterproof pad.Naturepedic PC93 Non Waterproof Organic Cotton Deluxe Crib Mattress Pad

No...when you convert the crib to a toddler bed you are only removing the front bar and front panel. The rest of the crib stays put together, so the mattress still fits

I decided to purchase the separate matress pad just as an extra protection measure. To be perfectly honest, since the crib is used for my granddaughter and not used everyday, I probably did not need it. I believe I did have a protective cover on the matresses for my own children.

We used ours on carpet, but the lining on the top of the mattress is very warm. You can also put a crib sheet on top of it (maybe get a warm fleece one). My son stayed very warm in it! I think as long as you have warm blankets and sheets, it will be fine! :)

Unfortunately the mattress is not firm. But we placed blankets down and swaddle her. She is now 4 months and just moving out of bassinet. I love it and think it's worth the money. My parents didn't like it because they wanted something bigger. But it's easy to move and place next to bed because of the height

It has been a while since I used it but it I remember it being quite cushioned. It does depend on the age of your child. If your baby's head is still wobbly, and their is a chance they could accidentally knock their head when rolling over etc, I think the wood floor directly underneath will be too hard. I also have wooden floors but lots of rugs too, and it was generally placed on top of a floor rug and not directly on a the wooden floor.

Ours seems fine -- we have a convertible crib, and tried tucking in the comforter, but my 2 year old hated that, so we just leave it untucked. It's a little smooshed (to me; we have the 4-in-1 lifetime crib from Munire, Essex collection) on the sides, but she doesn't mind.

No, I think it would make it softer. I love it on my hard mattress because it makes it softer, so I think you'd be disappointed..

I first looked at this: SnuggleWool Lambs Wool Pad, Crib 28x52 but decided against it because of the polyester backing. In the end I used an oversized 100% cotton thick plush beach towel over the plastic encasement to cut down on the crinkle and give a little comfort. I laid an organic wool piddle pad over top like this one: http://www.greenmountaindiapers.com/wool-mattress-pads.html Then I put an Ikea 100% cotton fitted crib sheet over top. It has worked out well, very little crinkling, comfy and breathable. Good luck! :)

I have been using ikea cribs, I have two mattresses for my 5 month and 18 month and love them. It's just a tight fit which is great in the crib. No loosening pacifiers and spit cloths....you just have to push down the corners to fit the foam mattress. It compresses to fit.

Stiffer like a lap pad, I actually bought it for my daughter and grandson. When my children were babies they were a life saver for extending use of crib sheets before having to launder them. That was 37 years ago:)
