When did you lower the mattress? When did you lower the mattress height?

I think we lowered the mattress when our son was able to reach up and grab the bumper - we anticipated that he would be pulling up - sometime before he pulled up on the sides. My second son is 4 months and hasn't rolled over yet, so we haven't lowered it yet. If you have to ask yourself twice, that usually means just do it! You'll feel better. What's it going to hurt? It's better to lower it too early than too late.

it lowered my bed 1-2". the height change you would get probably depends on the wheel size that you have.

don't know yet.... good question though! I put mine on around November and I use a mattress pad and cover sheet over it I REALLY do like this.

You have to remove matress and box spring, then break out your tools again. Because of this I initially just started at the 6 inch elevation and am very glad I did.

You can set the mattress on the high level for a younger baby and set it lower for a toddler. I just LOVE this crib for my grandchildren!!!

The bed is at my vacation home and so I cannot measure it now. However, I think it is normal bed height and not low.

I honestly don't know how long it took - maybe a couple of weeks - but it is a good 10" thick now. Also, we left ours on the bed for a couple of days, upside down, and then turned it over. That might have helped. We love this mattress, though it did take a few days to get used to. Now, we wouldn't trade it for anything.

The lowest part of the frame is 11 inches up from where the mattress sits, so I would recommend a mattress less than 11 inches thick. I am using a 9 inch mattress and after the bedding is on, it looks perfect.

There are 2. The illustration shows the mattress fully lowered and the other is about halfway up.

off topic a bit, but we were looking at a sleep number bed because our mattress was sagging somewhat and they claim they don't sag. Yet, I've read other reviews besides yours that after some time, they lose pressure in the hip area and then the user has to raise the sleep number setting and eventually it's at 100 and still not supporting. We liked the beds in the showroom, but this was a concern. Also that it seemed a bit high maintenance- the pumps and adjustments and their sliding scale warranty policy. thanks!

It is low, but not a problem. The mattress is a decent size. We like it. Its quite sturdy as well. Changing diapers while inside the crib can be a back strainer though.. so if you have a changing pad/station, then this shouldn't be an issue.

Strangely enough I moved my friend's cal king bed using them. It was really easy and we didn't even use them correctly. The bed will seem really low to the ground unless you properly use the middle hook for our heights.Cover the bed with some junk sheets just in case, but I had no issues. Ez

Yeah I have noticed that, because I sleep alone on my queen size one and I have to switch sides every couple of months. Other wise once side would be deeper than the other :/ also its becoming a bit too soft for me.

I had a problem and when I asked for new mattress cause how lumpy it was, they told me to use a ruler and flatten to show lumpiness. That's impossible. You have to lay on it all night to realize how damn lumpy it was.

It is reccomended you flip the mattress at 12 months or when the child is 20 pounds. Some parents like to flip the mattress to the toddler side at the age of 12 months while others wait until the child is between 18 and 24 months. All of these are acceptable since both sides are designed to be safely used for infants and toddlers. While infants should be placed on their back to sleep on the firmer side, a toddler will most likely find the softer side more cozy. -found this online...

The height of the mattress can be adjusted by moving the four bolts. The mattress we got can be flipped from infant to toddler firmness when that time comes.
