Will a cot mattress pad add extra comfort or it that necessary?

Didn't seem necessary. After a couple of nights my 30 year old niece, average weight, said she could kind of feel a bar in the middle but was comfortable overall. For me, the cushier the better!

for us...it just added a little more comfort. We were trying to soften our mattress. We ended up buying a memory foam mattress instead.

It improves the comfort quite a bit but it does not make it as comfortable as a regular crib mattress. Our crib would not fit in our room though, so when we had our baby in our room for the first few months this made the pnp much nicer!

If it's cool out, something is needed. I have used blankets and yoga pads, but I was most comfortable with a 3" piece of foam. Cheers

It depends on how much room you like to use; we had two full size single pads and a queen air mattress next to each other and could have still put my twin sized cot in that side of the room, but it would have gotten cramped to still put our gear in. On the other hand, I think we could have done it...

In my opinion, not cot is comfortable for a year, but this is better than standard issue cots I have slept on. I would recommend a twin size air mattress to go along with the cot, it'll save your back.

We've used different things. We have a camping mat that we put on top and then slept in sleeping bag. I used just a sleeping bag with no mat. I also used a quilt to sleep on then a sheet to cover with. The mat and quilt gave more cushiony feel. The mat was slippery when used with the sleeping bag so that kept sliding off the cot. Everyone felt the cot gave a good nights sleep.

Im perfectly content with the 6" mattress myself. Many a nights it is slept on actually. So I guess if you want it extra chushy then maybe get the pad too, but I think the mattress is very comfortable.

That would always depend on the depth of your existing mattress and sheet type. Thi pad adds a bit of loft,probably takes up an inch or so of your sheet!Hope that helps..

Hi James, I do not think this would be advisable. The sliding and shifting of the pad would make sleeping very uncomfortable. You would be forever adjusting the mattress pad under your sheets. BL

Yes!! Of course. It's mostly used for sleeping. I purchased a mattress pad to make it more comfortable.

Not exactly... the mattress pad acctually has a bit more support than that-and in my opinion it is most comfortable when placed on top of a firm matress.

A little. I have used mattress pads in the past that provided more cushion. The price is great and I would go for it.

Larry, I bought this to replace the mattress in my camper and have been absolutely pleased with it. I have a very $$ tempur pedic in the house that I do not sleep as well on. Hope this answers your question. I believe the thicker the mattress the more comfortable you will be.

It would be more comfortable than sleeping directly on the floor, obviously, but because it's so soft, you might end up compressing it and getting less benefit than, say, 4 inches of just memory foam.

NEVER add a pillow, comforter, or another mattress for padding. - See more at: http://www.kidco.com/products-page/peapod/peapod-p3010/#sthash.Tpxa1DI4.dpuf.

You should definitely get an extra mattress for this cradle, the pad it comes with is not enough for baby! We used the pad in it plus a 3 inch cradle mattress we purchased separately!
