As an adult I prefer a firm mattress... Is the toddler side firm enough or too soft? I think firm is better for your back. Thank you.

my husband and I have both spent time on our kids beds for stories and snuggles at bed time and we both agree that it is very firm. Talkin' wake you up you're so uncomfortable if you happen to doze off kind of firm. Hope that helps!

Both sides are firm, I couldn't tell the difference until I looked at the label

In my opinion the toddler side of the mattress is firm enough. My toddler does most of his sleeping with his bum in the air, stomach down, but I think it's perfectly firm to support his back (I'm also a fan of firmer mattresses).

my son sleeps on the toddler side and it is a bit softer after some use but still firm, not to soft at all. the single stage is infant side firm not toddler softer, just learned that with my 1yo when I got hers.

It's is not firm. As my daughter was not happy with her mattresse's level of firmness being too high. However it's not ultra soft as my wife prefers a little more give. I would say it's about 3/4 soft and 1/4 support. My daughter, 125 lbs, finds it perfect for her.

For me, the mattress is firm. It is the most comfortable I have ever had. I feel that I can really stretch out and give my spine a chance to stretch out. In the short time I have had it, I feel as if my posture is improving. Descriptions have different meanings for all people, but in my book it is firm, not extra firm. I don't think I could sleep on an extra firm mattress. Hope this helps.

Technically I think it is designed for more breathability. That being said I have found that it does provide a little more "give" than the firm mattress on its own. Naturpedic also makes a quilted topper of sorts for toddlers that is designed to provide more cushion. That might be more along the lines of what you're looking for!

I personally have have used this with both of my children from 0-3 months of age and am very happy with the quality. And yes, it is definatly firm.

I prefer a firm mattress and as long as this is used on a floor either carpeted or not; I personally find it very comfortable and wake up every single time thinking I am in my bed. When first squeezed with your hands you would not think it is firm however the floor and weight distribution surprisingly ends up very stable and comfortable. Hope that helps!

I bought the dream foam mattress in the 10 inch version. I have a cranky back and find it difficult to get comfortable. This mattress did the trick for me. I would call it medium firm With just enough give for sleeping on your side. Its wonderful.

My granddaughter is 2 months old and has been sleeping in the Rock n' Play since she came home from the hospital. My daughter confirmed that the mattress is firm enough for sleep at this age. Hope this helps.

I think it is very hard to judge this, for another person. I can tell you this though: I have severe spine problems and have found it impossible to be comfortable,for at least 13 year, since my accident. I have always slept on a firm mattress, because it was recommended by my orthopedist, but didn't feel comfortable. I decided to try the foam topper and can tell you that it has made a big difference in my level of pain. I sleep much better with it, though it doesn't change the level of firmness from the mattress. It just seems to form to my body,which relieves me. You will have to make the judgement about your changing weight and whether it is worth it to experiment. My decision was based on the need for relief and for me the price was worth it, to just try. It is costs a lot less than a whole new mattress, even though $200 + can be also be lot of money,for many of us! I am 73 yrs old and injured. I weigh about 140 lbs. I hope this info is helpful to you.....and best wishes to you and your baby!

I would say its a little bit firmer than a crib mattress however it's not uncomfortable. It reminded me of a softer gym mat. Like the ones we used in gym class as kids. It's actually quite perfect for a bed away from home... In my opinion. :-)

very firm , I like plush / medium soft My wife like hard , and this was even slightly firm for her for the 1rst week , it does break in and even I can sleep on it . I use a 1, maybe 2" gel topper for more comfort/ softness (I like my ribs and hips to sink in so my spine is strait since I am a side sleeper I weigh 165 my wife 160 so if your heavier it may be just right if your lighter then 165lbs then this will be to firm unless you like a firm almost very firm mattress . It is zero gravity when just laying on your back it does give you a floating sensation and is very relaxing ...

Its definitely a firm mattress! A bit too much got my liking and I usually prefer firm.

It's fairly firm, I would recommend you go down to a mattress store and lay down on one of their memory foam mattresses. That is the firmness of that type of mattress.

The mattress isn't firm. It is on the softer. My mattress filled up pretty quickly, but didn't completely fill out the sheet for a day or so. When it was fully set, it was much thicker than expected.

Not at all... I found the infant side very firm and the toddler side just a tad sifter

If you are a back sleeper it might be enough. I'm a side sleeper with a really firm mattress. I'm around 140lbs and it's not enough softness for me. My hips still hurt. It compresses a lot and is only about an inch thick to start with.

Yes, I think it is a bit too firm for my baby, too. Agreed--firm is necessary for safety--but we have found she seems to sleep more soundly on the (toxic chemical-infused, not-at-all-green) crib mattresses at each of our parents' houses, and those are both much softer. Any ideas for softening it up?
