Can a dust ruffle be used with this crib? Would it be seen? Do you need 2 mattresses to get the top mattress the height you want it for a young baby?

A dust ruffle would definitely be seen but I don't think you really need one. I personally never used it and my son is almost a year now. As far as mattress height, all you need it one mattress. This crib has the ability to do adjustable heights for a young infant to a standing toddler. Hope this helps...

Yes a dust ruffle will fit in between the rails and the metal frame that the mattress sits on, although it can barely be seen. As far as the mattress height, the metal frame for the mattress is adjustable depending on how high you would like the mattress to sit. We have had our newborn in it for two months now and the height is perfect for her. Hope this helps, thanks

I would recommend using a dust ruffle because you can see in between the mattress and drawer. It's not like a traditional crib where the dust ruffle will hang on the floor but it still looks nice.. and once mattress is perfect! It's not too high and not too low, it's right where an infant mattress should be but you could always try it yourself depending on what you like. I absolutely love this crib and I don't think you'd regret ordering it

I bought the daybed set and it came with the dust ruffle. I purchased mine from amazon.com!

Hi, you are purchasing a full size crib which will need a full size mattress. This mattress is for a pack and play, and is great for that, but will be way too small for a crib. It is also only a couple of inches thick, again making it great for a pack and play, but not having enough depth for the daily and frequent use of a crib. Make sure to buy a crib mattress that meets your cribs specifications for fit. The price range varies, a cheaper mattress may not hold up or be too soft for your baby. You want a firm mattress. Hope this helps

Sorry I didn't get with you right away. I bought it for my granddaughter so I had to get in touch with my daughter to ask her. She said it fits a regular crib mattress. She put a regular fitted sheet over it. She said that she likes it because when the baby moves, it doesn't make noise so the baby doesn't wake up.

You definitely need additional mattress when the baby is ready to move from rocking bassinet to crib, i purchased Dream On Me 3" Playard Mattress from Amazon, fits perfectly and doesn't leave any gaps for baby to slide

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!!!

If it does I haven't found it, I'm pretty short too and now that I'm pregnant again putting my child in there is very difficult. If you are thinking about something like a drop down crib, it would be really hard for you to find, they are considered not safe. When I wasn't pregnant it wasn't that hard, with the mattress and all it is not so low.

I am not sure - I used it only for children under 10. I only used the 2 mattresses. If you don't get the trundle, you could probably do it - but It'll be high.

Not really with the way its designed. It would become very unstable without all four sides unless you built something to support that side. Otherwise it would just "open up" and the mattress would fall. Just goes straight to full size bed and you have to buy the rails for that. I'm not even sure how I will like the look of it when its just a head board or foot board, but we will see. Good for just a crib though so far.

Yes, we put a dust ruffle under the top mattress. It accommodates the lip at the ends.

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.

it Is smaller than a regular size crib. I thought about getting bumper pads too however some reports suggest that lack of air flow can cause sudden infant death syndrome, so no pads are being used.

You don't need an additional mattress for the crib for the first few months. but when your baby gets about 4 or 5 months and gets a little bigger a thicker mattress makes all the difference to get them to nap in the pack and play. Our little one loves the thicker mattress and we are less stressed out thinking that he might hurt himself when he is tumbling around.

I only purchased the down comforter, not the dust ruffle. If you are going to purchase the comforter, it is fabulous!

Daughter is tall... how many inches do you have from the mattress to the top of the crib? we are looking for a low lying crib, this might be a good option

For a young infant that is not yet very mobile you can use just one pad. After the baby starts moving you would want to put the second one to increase coverage otherwise you'll get false alarms when the baby moves off the area covered by the pad. The two pads fit easily under a normal crib mattress. The base of the crib has to be solid (wood and not springs. I placed a thin wood base on top of springs - works great).

The combined height is a normal height if you had mattress and box springs. I did find that my dust ruffle was a little long so I adjusted using the frame and a few straight pins to hold in place. I love the bed and am very happy that I got it.
