I have an antique cradle that is 18 by 35 1/8", does this mattress "give" at all? If the mattress was a hair too big, could I squeeze it in there?

Yes it will give, should have no problem with it. We are satisfied with the purchase. Our cradle had a thin 1" mattress already, added this one on top to make a thicker padding. But this mattress by itself will work well. Good purchase for the price.

I think it would fit, just be a little narrow. Before I found this one the mattress I was using was smaller all around. I just put a towel on it and then the sheets to make it a little bigger. But my bassinet is exactly 18x36 and this mattress fits perfectly. I love it and so does my daughter. She sleeps wonderfully on it.

I bought this for a cradle my husband made, however, I believethe measurements for the bedding was 18 X 11 aprox. The actualmeasurements are on the bedding site. You will have to compare those measurements with the Kolcraft cradle measurements.

Nope. Didn't fit my lullaby baby playard. I still had about 2.5-3 inches space open length wise and about 1 inch on width. Still on the hunt for a mattress.

My mattress is 13" and there is quite a lot of room left but I think 18" might be too much to try to cover. I would guess 16" might be the limit.

That is the same thing I bought: the naturpedic crib mattress with the dimensions 18 x 36 x 1.5". It was a snug fit to get it in the cradle and had to be smooched down. But once the baby was on it, it flattened out pretty well, with some bowing at the edges. In spite of the imperfect fit, it was lightyears better than the thin, crappy "mattress" that came with the bassinet.

The mattress I received was very true to the measurements described. The larger of the two may not lay flat, the smaller will leave a slight bit of room on the sides. Not really sure what to tell you.

It will fit into a cover suitable for an 8 inch mattress without any trouble, other than the fact that the mattress is heavy and I would suggest you have more than one person there unless you are strong. You did not ask, but the mattress is very comfortable.

Probably a little too deep. My mattress is 18" and fits easy. How this helped

I put a foam mattress in this frame originally. It was a bit of a squeeze, but it did go in and stay there. I gave that mattress to my granddaughter and put her old spring mattress in the frame. Again, it was a bit of a squeeze, but it too went in pretty easily.

my mattress is 12" deep and there is an appreciable amount of loose material so it should fit 18". I am a very happy user. Best sheets I have ever had.

My mattress is 18" deep, and it fits well. I'm guessing it might not on a shallower model.

the depth of the mattress fits pretty close. You may have to tuck a little more but it's close.

You should look at the measurements..We used ours on HALF of a KING sized mattress ( since only one of us wanted it) and we are quite pleased

Hi, you can go easily up to a mattress that is 9" thick so yours is going to fit very well. Thank you so much!

I will have to ask my daughter, we had an old bassinet which wa an odd size. From what I remember, it was as described. I will have to get back to you to be certain.

It will be very tight, but it will work if you only fill the mattress part way and put on the cover and fill it the rest of the way.
