anyone have a tummy sleeper? does the zipper dig into their bodies if they sleep on their tummy?

I don't have a tummy sleeper, but if the zipper is zipped up, the pull is at the very bottom of the sack, probably lower than the feet unless the bag is really small for your baby. At that location, I don't think your baby will have a lot of weight to put on the zipper pull (and causing the dig). As for the zipper itself, it is pretty flat so I don't think it will be a problem. Just a reminder that if your baby is less than 6 month old, he or she should be sleeping on the back all the time to reduce the chance of SIDS.

My daughter sleeps on her belly, and we've never had an issue with the zipper digging in.

Yes, you clip it to the diaper. I don't put my Baby in a onesie to sleep, just a gown or zip up sleeper, so it's not bad. Even when he was a newborn and swaddled though it was fine. The only problem is when they get to be a few months old and move around more it can come off and the alarm will go off. That's just starting to happen at our house. If you have too many layers over I when that happens it could be a bit bothersome. I still think it would be worth it though.

Well don't know how it would be to sleep on you tummy, but if it's anything like it is on your bck it would be pretty awesome, it has to be the best mattress ever. So very comfortable!! Love it and will by one for my bed at my house when it's time!

I have the one with the zipper and the clasps. Zipper up the side is not bad. Clasps at the crotch are very uncomfortable.

Weird way or wording the question but....lying inside, on your back, the zipper is on the right. There is a zipper pull on the inside, as well, for you to open it when lying in it

I am both a stomach sleeper, side sleeper, and back sleeper and while I may toss or turn while asleep the mask never seems to hinder me or wake me up. There are times when I am going to sleep with the mask on and I am on my side with head off-kilter on the pillow when the mask get dislodged a bit but I adjust it quickly. I don't notice the Velcro as this is at the corner and it is never a factor with me.

I am a stomach sleeper normally. With this mattress I became a back sleeper. I have noticed that side or stomach sleeping on this does cause some midback tightness and soreness in the morning but goes away usually by the time I get out of the shower. I still sleep really well.

Mine was & did. My child was in the front zip vest & it kept moving up, under the chin. It was very uncomfortable & my child complained the entire time. This fixed the problem. No complaints & great boyancy.

Our 2yo is a belly sleeper too. At first she would start out on the pillow and end up off of it in the morning or by the end of nap time. It has since settle and she sleeps on it regularly. She loves having a pillow like mommy and daddy. We bought her's in June of this year. So, yes, it will settle.

You should never allow your child to sleep on his stomach in the first place. That's asking for SIDS. I know some of them are belly sleepers but buy something which forces them to sleep on their back.

No problem. I'm 5'8, slept pretty comfortably. Just don't roll around to much. I used it in a hammock and the zipper failed.

I did not have a problem with my zipper, BUT having said that it seems all zippers are those tiny plastic ones now and it you're going to take it off once in a while I think getting the 12" deep would be a good 'just in case' solution. Plus, if you got a new mattress at some point you'd probably get a deeper one so you would be a head of the game. At some point (a year from now maybe) I will wash mine in the gentle cycle with cold water to see if it's possible to do.

I have not try using it for tummy time, but I don't see why it would be a problem. My son has been using the lounger since he was born. Its perfect for both, to give you and idea, if you have seen the boppy pillows that are U shape, its almost the same except the lounger is at an angle, its not hollow and it is raised from the head/back area.

I am a stomach sleeper about half the time and they are too fluffy for comfort. If you sleep on your side at all, they are fantastic!

I actually purchased a regular body pillow case on amazon that has a double zipper, Newpoint International Inc. Microsuede Body Pillow Cover With Double Sided Zippers. It is snug, but with the zippers at both ends you can unzip them both, pull the pillow through and it works very well for me. I found it helpful to start it over the end of the pillow, pull it up a little, then scrunch the rest of the case on the one end and while my husband held the pillow I streched the case over the length of the pillow. I was worried about having the zipper in my face, but it isn't as bad as I thought, they don't really stick out like you would expect.

This would not be good for tummy sleepers. I'm guessing you would have a lot of false alarms because it wouldn't be able to sufficiently detect your babies movement from breathing if it's pressed up against the mattress. It still works for my daughter who likes to sleep on her side though.
