Has anyone bought the twin size for a child? If so, how does the child like the mattress? Thanks!

I bought 3 of them in full size for my grandkids ages 6, 5 and 3. They had the convertible cribs. They just love the mattresses and so do the parents. Do comfortable. They told me its like sleeping on a cloud!

To my knowledge, no. A toddler bed still uses the mattress from the original crib and the sides come off of the crib and turns into his first little bed. I believe a twin mattress is larger... But you can always google it to be sure :)

I took the reviews seriously and got a tall twin mattress for the top bed and a regular twin for the bottom. Since I have older teens and adults sleeping on the beds, I got regular inner spring mattresses. The top bed is very firm and the bottom bed is medium. Everyone loves the beds and the comfort. One note, with the regular mattress on the bottom, I did have to raise the height of the top bed by putting something (I used cans) under the legs. A foam mattress would probably eliminate that problem.

I got the amazon mattress. I think they were $150 a peace . Very interesting the way they delivered.. Got flatten out and very comfortable ... For that price my kids are comfortable.

no, this is a great mattress. We first put our baby on it a 6 months (now 8) he loved it from the start, has a nice "spring" to it, really happy with the quality and price also. We rotate it every couple of weeks, over all couldn't be happier!

Regular twin mattress works fine. A pillow top might make the bed too high and if you have a very young child the side rails might not be high enough. I do think the mattress will need some extra support though. I would have a board cut to use as a support if your child is over 60 pounds or you are planning on getting in the bed too. It's a sturdy bed but since you don't use a box spring I felt like it needed extra support underneath.

My 32 lb toddler still sleeps on it. I haven't had any problems. Sorry! This is the second mattress we bought. Is your crib base good? Maybe not enough support there.

The twin size is in the 5 to 6 pound range. It is about the same size as a bulky sleeping bag. Smaller than that when delivered, but I think it had been compressed by a machine. Once it fluffs out you can't get it that small again. It will slide around like crazy on your mattress as there are no anchors or skirt. I couldn't keep it in place on a normal mattress. Also the filling clumps up quickly and you get lumps you can't get rid of. I would just take a cushy down filled sleeping bag which could both pad and keep you warm.

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 am very pleased with the mattress. My granddaughter is now 9 months old and I am still using the firmer side. Comfy mattress. It is softer than the rigid waterproof mattresses, but the feel is good. I do not feel it is too soft.

Anne, I love my memory foam mattresses. I have a 12" and an 8". I like them both. I bought the 12" first, and, only bought the 8", because, I like to rotate my mattress, and, the 12" is too heavy. Great comfort, no regrets Anne.

Hello, I would get a regular twin mattress. We put a plywood and a low profile box spring. If you put a bunkie board and a pillow top it might work. The only problem with a pillow top would be it might be to high and the mattress might make the child be even with the side rails.

I put it on my crib mattress in my toddler bed. It's smaller than a twin...

I purchased the full size for my stepson -- he is very tall. My parents always had a full size bed, but I prefer a queen size for two people because I like to stretch out. But if you like to snuggle, or you're smaller in frame it may be just right for you. It is consistant with all standard mattress sizes. The full size is not extra long like the twin. But keep in mind a twin may be big enough for two children; really tight for two adults.

Twin mattress fits I believe that's just the length of the material not the space for the bed to fit. Your kid will love this bed my 3yr old does and he sleeps through the night in his own bed, its nice to have mommys bed all to myself again. The slide is what sells it and he can climb the stairs all by himself. He loves the fort area under alot

I would recommend this mattress. We got this for our \7 month old who was having trouble sleeping in her crib. We noticed that she fell asleep on our bed very quickly, but not in her crib. We figured that the mattress we had was not comfortable for her. It is an older mattress. We purchased this mattress for ability to have something more comfortable now and into the future. I did notice a slight difference in the two sides. We put the infant side up for our little one. She fell asleep the first night no problem. It seemed to make a big difference.

Yes it is the same size as a normal twin mattress. I bought two of theses for my boy's bed. They fit perfectly inside their bed frames. FYI, the boy's love their mattress's.
