Is this stiffer like a lap pad or like a piece of cloth? Can a 3 mo old sleep straight on it (on his belly) or would it slide and bunch under him?

They're very thick but still move loosely like cloth. The friction of another fabric underneath it will probably be ok if the baby isn't that active yet. I have put them under sheets as well as tucked into the sides of the mattress on top of sheets.

This is stiffer like a lap pad, but I cut it up to use as a waterproof changing pad cover. If you used it for sleeping, I think it would need to have a fitted sheet put over it, so it didn't move around, as it doesn't have any elastic to keep it in place.

Yes. We r using a pillow for our 3 yr old. A piece foam would be recommended to avoid sliding

It's definitely just a waterproof protective layer - would not purchase it if you are solely looking for more comfort. Just remember that baby mattresses are supposed to be firm (and babies will sleep just fine). This layer is made really well though - not flimsy like some other brands. We are very happy with it!

I have purchased other ones that are more of a plastic material on the bottom side so they moved around as well but these ones are fabric all the way around so they do stay put for the most part. I use for a 3 year old so if I put just under him it will move some because he wont stay put for 5 min. so I usually put it under the sheet and it does great.

I would say it is not as "softly" padded because of the material it is made of. This can be wiped clean. The head and waist inserts are nicely cushioned. If you have a very thin baby I can see why you might prefer something else. I really think there is plenty but the material is a bit deceptive. I'm grateful a diaper explosion occurred in this seat and not my other son's soft fabric seat! Hope this offers some perspective.

it is more floppy than stiff. cuddly and adorable. But you can carefully stand him up....soft and seems well made. Nothing worse than a stuffed animal that cant with stand the washing machine! My son loves it

I think it is like a light weight lap pad. A three month baby should always be sleeping on his back to prevent crib death. I purchased a fitted crib sheet to keep the pad in place. We do not use the bassinet much because the air does not circulate around the baby, We lie the baby down here when we eat or do something when we are sitting around the bassinet. Her parents prefer her to be in her crib.

It isn't really that thick of a pad so what I did was I folded a fleece blanket nice and flat on the floor and I placed the Mat over it. My son hated tummy time so I gave this to my friend who's baby loved it. She's 6 months and still uses it, hope this helps!

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.

It is decent. Thicker than laying a blanket on the floor. But not much. I would lay on hard floor depending on how active the baby is. If baby is picking head up but still dropping where it might hit hard, then I would say no. Just rolling and scooting around fine. Or if able to control head some.

I found that the mattress pad it comes with is a bit wider than an average bassinet pad. Its also quite thin, so I generally put it on soft surfaces when he's in it. It comes with a fitted sheet.

We got this after my daughter outgrew the bassinet, so I can't say on that, but she seems to sleep fine on the bottom pad. It is very firm, but I haven't seen a playard pad that was any softer. They all seem to be about the same.

Not really. I bought the ultra plush changing cover pad from Summer Infant and it does not sit well on the pad. It makes the pad look flat, but you can still put the baby and it stays in place. It just looks awkward.

Barely padded. But that did not stop my daughter from being comfy. We cushioned her with blankets in the beginning and because you can change levels of recline, she seemed super comfy. Maybe it was the vibrations? She still ges and sits in it at 15 mo

Yes it does. It moves as the baby moves and it's comfortable for them and makes them feel secure. My 20 month old still uses it every now and then when all his pajamas are in the dirty laundry. And he sleeps 10.5-11hrs. Hope that helps!

I believe it is meant to go directly under the sheet. However, my baby flips over onto his stomach all night and usually sleeps mostly in that position...the mattress topper leaves terrible marks on his face so i had to put it under a mattress pad and sheet...

not as thick as a couch cushion. I use it in my twins room. The only time I found it uncomfortable is after falling asleep on it for awhile. You eventually start to feel the bars underneath. However, I don't think a kid would complain.
