Does the mattress seem firm enough for a newborn on this model? I read that the Travel Crib Light 2 might be unsafe for newborn due to soft mattress.

I think mattress is comfortable not soft soft, with proper sheet( tight) I think is safe, my daughter loves to sleep in it:) and travel crib light 2 looks different it has fabric on the bottom thats why some people are afraid to put babys there. My type ( older version)has only net.

Your baby is heavier than mine, but it is a firm mattress and our son does not sink in it. If your baby is sinking and the mattress is the issue (assuming you've ruled out the crib based on your question), I would stop using the mattress immediately for safety. That is not normal, and you should be able to return the mattress.

anytime. it is just a portable crib, so safe for baby from birth, but i personally think that babies prefer a smaller space when tiny so I always liked using a portable bassinet when they were really little, like the Brica fold and go travel bassinet.

I had this mattress for 2yrs & it worked great until I became pregnant. Then the mattress felt too soft & not enough support. My body changed permanently after birth so I had to buy the tempurpedic (the firmest model) which is much more comfortable & therefore worth the price. Guess it just depends on how much support you need.

My baby rolls onto his tummy too and I think this mattress is firm enough. I would just keep the baby with adults in the same room for a few nights or naps to be sure the baby is ok. Because every baby is different. We used it for our trip and coming back home we use it as an alternative to his crib for naps in another room. He likes it more than pack and play.

It is very firm. When I push on it it doesn't cause an impression. I imagine you are worrying that when a baby is lying on it either is to hard - which I don't think it is just firm - or to soft to worry about the baby and breathing. I don't see that as an issue, but that is my opinion. I do plan to use a mattress pad cover and then of course a decorative sheet. I hope this helps. I like this mattress.

I would not recommend it for a newborn. I feel it is way too soft for that. The company does not recommend using it w the graco...we did use it with the graco but not till my daughter was around 8 months. There is a one inch gap between the mattress and the sides of the PNP. If you decide to order you can see how soft it is and decide (it's not technically soft but the casing is not tight enough around the core so it creates some billowing). The company has great customer service and we have many other products from them.

I've used this mattress with my two year old since she was 6 mos and am using a second one with my three month old. So far, I've not had that problem. The mattress is flat.

We have a delta mini crib, and the mattress seems too "fluffy" to put the baby in. Maybe when she's able to lift her head or even sit up. Right now our baby sleeps in a rock n play, and she seems to like that. You can use rock n plays until their 6 months or 25lbs I believe. Or when they can sit up.

It was definitely comfortable to lay on. Once I had it on our daughter's mattress and covered it with the fitted sheet, I tested it out before laying her on it for the night. I seems extremely comfortable. Soft but not mushy. Our daughter did not do well on the firm crib mattress like they suggest for infants so this was the perfect solution for us. Hope that helps you decide. I definitely recommend this product to anyone who's asked.

I actually spent a lot of money to buy this one, and then never used it for a single day. This mattress was a little too soft for my liking and I was really afraid of SIDS. So I ended up using the original mattress which came with the arms reach mini bassinet. The original bassinet mattress is not as soft or padded, but it does the job, and I am not scared that it can lead to SIDS. That said, perhaps this can be a good one after the first three months of a child's life.

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.

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!

We've had this mattress for 2.5 years (1 year on infant side and 1.5 on toddler side) and haven't really noticed much of any sag. Just like any mattress, whether it's for a child or an adult, rotating (not flipping) it every once in a while is probably a good idea though. Honestly, If you're on the fence, aiso check out the Lullaby Earth Super Lightweight Crib Mattress 2-stage. It's made by the same company, except I believe that the Naturepedic line offers organic materials whereas Lullaby Earth does not. The Lullaby Earth is a very good option if you want a mattress that's free from chemicals (and you don't mind that it's not organic).

yes baby mattresses have to be firm, but this is ridiculously firm. There is no "give", they might as well be sleeping on a wood plank. glad it worked for your baby, my baby screamed until I put a folded blanket on top of it.

We don't have it anymore but I believe it was pretty firm, good for newborns. We had it in a portable crib and it fit. Not sure of dimensions.

The 12" plush memory foam mattress is pretty firm- my son (2 years old) has slept on it fine. Make sure you get the waterproof liner in case of potty accidents. I don't have the gel foam mattress so I can't make that comparison.
