Did you see a noticeable difference in the amount of time baby would sleep in this with the one that came with the co-sleeper vs. this mattress?

I didn't use the mattress that came with a co-sleeper. It was super thin and had a horrible chemical smell. I ended up getting a different organic mattress on amazon and baby is still sleeping in the co-sleeper at 9 months. Also, FYI I discovered that the changing pad covers fit the mattress perfectly and I've been using them instead the sheets that came in with the co-sleeper. Hope it helps.

We ended up returning the extra mattress because it was not much softer or thicker than the one that comes with the co-sleeper.

I never let my baby sleep on the one that came with the crib. Didn't want her breathing in toxic chemicals that it omits. The organic mattress is wonderful and I highly recommend it. VERY good quality and I'm sure it's very comfortable.

I never used the original mattress, and to be honest, he sleeps in our bed with us 99% of the time!

I didn`t use it without this mattress. It adds cushioning to the crib and still feels firm and safe.

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!

There is a difference in the sides, but my regret about this mattress is that being both firm and coated in plastic makes it not very cozy. In hindsight I would have purchased the quilted Naturepedic mattress and then used my American Baby Company Organic Waterproof Quilted Crib and Toddler Pad Cover, because that cover works great to keep the mattress dry and then you wouldn't have to have the uncomfortable plastic.

Happily and surprisingly, no! I have similar issues with being very warm, when I sleep. I've noticed no major difference (except for much better comfort to my back and the rest of my body), between sleeping on this mattress, vs. any other.

Been using mine for months (less than a year) and can tell no difference in the firmness or shape. The manufacture recommends a mattress pad which I'm sure will help prolong the life of the memory foam.

We are still using the sleep suit (started around 3 months) at 7 months and have used it throughout some teething. I think it does become a comfort item so it might help with just feeling as comfortable as possible during that time.

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.

I had both with my first child, and decided to get rid of the cosleeper the second time around. I liked the look better, but it was MUCH LESS useful. My first child used the pack n play until he was 2 years old when he moved onto a floor futon. This time around I'm also going to use the Phil and Teds travel bed. It only weighs 6 lbs (vs. 30) and it has a zipper on one side so the child can get in out of bed unassisted.

I agree with Peggy's answer also. I bought the Inner Spring mattress for use when our grandson visits. He sleeps very well on it. It is also used (with our pack n play) whenever he is sleeping away from home. I would spend the slight price difference and purchase the inner spring mattress. However, either mattress is a huge improvement over sleeping on the thin pad that comes with a pack n play! (Wish I had discovered it sooner!)

It is, I bought my nephew the exact one and my sister put the mattress on the baby side by mistak. I layed on his bed and did notice the difference from my daughter's bed. His was much firmer than my daughter's which was softer to lay on.

It has a firmer and a less firm side, but, both are fine for an infant to use. I still use mine with my toddler now, two years later. It's a great mattress.

I bought this one because it had more of a fluffier padding on top.. Since the other one was pretty much flat with no padding... This one make my boys mattresses feel soft and to me feels more comfy. hope i helped you! :)

I ordered the extra mattress and ended up sending it back because we did not need it. The one that came with it was fine for us. However we are not using this for a baby. We are using this as recovery area for our dog (dachshund) who underwent surgery for bad discs. Surprisely he actually likes "his crib".

Yes in my opinion. My son been sleeping in his since he was born. I use the rock n play more than his bassinet that's just how much he loves it and works very well in small spaces like beside the bed. I love this product and highly recommend it.

I've had this mattress for 13 months. I also bought one for my daughter at the same time. They've both held up beautifully. Just like any other mattress...might be sturdier even. I don't know if it would make a difference on size and weight...my teenage daughter and I are both 5'7" and 140 lbs.

Yes, I've been using it with my daughter and I just had her. And my son started using his at 7 months. But both my children have this mattress and I love it.

I have a dual, and by the time my daughter was 12 months, her use of the infant side made it actually softer than the toddler side. So now our next baby gets to use the toddler side for better firmness.
