I work for a mattress manufacturer and bought this bed for my grandson. We asked for 7 to 7 1/2 inch mattress. It kept the mattress a little lower than the sides of the part of the bed where the doors are continuing up to the head. My grandson is 2 as well.

A regular twin is too small. We used 2 twins awaiting our new mattresses and they are definitely were like a foot short. A king = 2 twin xl...

I can not tell you about the 8 inch version but from everything I have read the thicker the foam mattress the softer it should be. Hope this helps

The futon pad is 2 inches wider and 8 inches shorter than a twin. So twin sheets are fine. I bought sheets with deeper sides to make up for the 2 inches it needed in width.

I am using mine In my trailer on a fold out bed and that mattress is also pretty thin. My guess is 2.5" thick. It does the trick for my mattress but I have to remove it after sleeping and I will never again get it back in the bag it came in, it really puffs out once it is removed from the bag.

This one is two inches thick- they lump all the reviews together which is really confusing and not really useful. I personally love my 2 inch topper- we have a baby and now we sleep like we haven't slept in ages. I have a queen, but it fits perfectly on top of the mattress, so I would assume the king does as well

its a very nice 2" thick. I am very pleased with the crib. just look for portable crib sheets online, and they fit perfect.

I am a side sleeper. I use this mattress in our RV and we stay out 2 months at a time. It's been fine with me and I'm a buff.... Big Ugly Fat Fellow! I was worried when I bought it that I really should have gotten a 10" mattress, but the 8" is just fine.

Twin, these sheets would be too small because they are toddler size, the same size as a crib mattress

On the lower end my young 4yr old did well with it . Used 6 inch mattress abd no concerns on falling off. It should last as long as we want my guess is 8 to 12.

About 2 1/2 inches thick... I just used American Baby Company portable/mini crib sheets (on Amazon), along with their waterproof quilted mattress pad cover (which gave the crib mattress a comfy feeling :-)

I bought a standard, regular full mattress for the 2 fulls and a standard, regular twin for the twin. I have to say the twin because it slides under is a little tight. I would probably recommend buying a bunk bed mattress.

I have purchased all three and the three and four inch were just to soft. Plus your bedding is most likely not going to fit. The two inch worked best for us, not too soft, but still helped with the back and hip pain. Again, this was just me and my husband but even our grand kids did not like the 3 and 4 inch foam.

Not much!!! 2 inches thicker. I bought my daughter the 12 inch and it is just as comfortable as 13 inch. I had to move my daughter to Florida for grad school . Long story short couldn't fit her matress and box spring in truck. I didn't buy box springs. She has a platform bed. We both love our matress !!! Good luck

We bought a 2" cradle mattress. The pad that came with it was very thin. We have been very happy with it.
