Do the metal bars create bumps in the mattress? We have a latex crib mattress, I'm also concerned about it damaging the mattress

They did not create bumps in my daughter's mattress. She used the rail for about a year. I would also lay in her crib/bed with her to read and never felt the rail.

I never felt the bumps when I tested it, I think little kids are too light to feel them anyway. No idea if it would bother the mattress, it didn't do anything to ours though.

No my son it never bothered him. No damage to mattress however I would suggest putting something between the metal bars and crib itself. It did make tiny scratches.

This is the best option I could find. No PVC, lead, etc. Some mattresses say "soy" but if you investigate, they only contain soy, like 1% of the total mattress. I'm so glad we got this mattress. It was worth the extra money (Mother in law bought it as a shower gift) to have something safe next to my baby's nose/mouth for over 12 hours a day. It also has square corners, so no/less risk of him/her stepping into a hole in the corner of the crib created by round corner mattresses. It really has a feel of quality to it vs. other mattresses I've worked with and seen at the store.

We are not having any issues with this mattress. The way you would contour it is by the amount of water that is put in the mattress. If you like it firm add more water. Just do not fill over the sides of the bed.

I think if you had a solid base, like a floor or a piece of plywood, it would probably work well for you, but if you had it on slats or weak box springs, I would worry that you could feel the bumps through the mattress.

Not sure. I actually happen to have a latex allergy, but only get blisters or a rash when latex is touching my skin. This mattress has a cover and out of the 5ish times I slept on it I had no issues.

On the inside there is a plastic plate and a plastic screw extends from the plate and goes between the vertical slats of the crib. You secure it with a large plastic "nut" that is large enough to cover two vertical slats. It says it won't damage the crib, but if you screw it tight enough, you could leave pressure marks in wood. There's no way to secure it to the top bar of the crib. In theory, if your baby pulled down hard enough, it could slip down. I was worried about that, but my son hasn't shown any interest is pulling on the base.

I have 2 of these and have not had that problem at all. One is now being used in a toddler bed and rolling to the edge is still not a problem. And to respond to the other persons comment about comfort- my son is now 3 and able to tell me whether he's comfortable and he still sleeps well on this bed. At this point, he's slept on adult mattresses at grandparents' houses and we've had no problem with this mattress when he comes home. An infant mattress is supposed to be firm and this is but I don't find it to be uncomfortable or excessively hard.

Yes and no...it looked even from the top, but pulled in the sides when tightened. Over a period of time in the tightened position it might damage the mattresses.

We've used this in my daughters crib now for almost a year and haven't had an issue. But if it ever happened to me, I'd contact the manufacture. Most of the time, that seems to do the trick when it comes to that kind of stuff. Hope that helps.

I'm not an expert so I dont know if it does damage to the mattress. I would say no simply because the mattress needs time to expand and for the chemical odor to abate

We haven't experienced that problem with ours. We have microfiber sheets on ours--I don't know, maybe the fabric of your sheets makes a difference? Does that happen with any other materials in your home?

We have the same style metal mesh and the sensors kept going off (false alarm). We contacted Hisense and they told use to cut a peice of plywood the same size as the mattress and place that on the springs then the sensors. Also we discovered that something as simple as a ceiling fan beating air on the mattress was making the monitor think our daughter was breathing. We discovered that while testing it without her in the crib. Definitely test everything without the baby in the crib. Hope this helped.

Not at all. Fits nicely in crib. And shouldn't worry about that. Both my kiddos did fine in it. You won't notice the curve

I never had a problem getting the elastic around the bars of the crib. Perhaps it's the style of crib that doesn't allow enough leeway. If it doesn't specifically go around the corner of the crib, perhaps it would go around the first slat away from the corner?

I put a memory foam mattress directly on top and it was fine. I would suggest putting a flat sheet under the mattress and covering the metal part of the frame. it isn't that pretty looking

It doesn't "sag" but there are probably indents where the bars go under the mattress. I've laid on my daughter's bed and you can't feel anything different.
