Does anyone find this mattress to be too firm for their baby or toddler? I realize firm is necessary, but this is very firm!

My boys have each slept on one of these from 3 months to 4 years without complaint.

No, it's perfect firmness. My 4-mo old loves it, even to play and practice his tummy time. If it were softer (like our bed) he wouldn't be able to do tummy time so well (hands would sink a little into mattress).

Yes, I think it is a bit too firm for my baby, too. Agreed--firm is necessary for safety--but we have found she seems to sleep more soundly on the (toxic chemical-infused, not-at-all-green) crib mattresses at each of our parents' houses, and those are both much softer. Any ideas for softening it up?

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's is not firm. As my daughter was not happy with her mattresse's level of firmness being too high. However it's not ultra soft as my wife prefers a little more give. I would say it's about 3/4 soft and 1/4 support. My daughter, 125 lbs, finds it perfect for her.

I bought one a few years ago, I would buy another in a heartbeat. Best mattress I've ever slept on. I see it's selling for the same price I paid for it, $699. I had to sell mine due to a move. I miss it every night. However, I would not consider it "firm." It is soft. I used to think firm was the way to go, but this mattress soft yet supportive. I hope this helps.

It's a good, firm mattress but still comfortable. When my baby girl was born, we put the mattress in our pack 'n play in our room. She slept there until she was 5 months old and then we moved her to a full-size crib. She slept well on this mattress and was very comfortable.

Hello This is a hard one, my sweet wife says no, she would not be able to sleep on a firm mattress she calls it forgiving. It feels firm when we first lay down but within a few seconds we start sinking into it as it forms to you. We both feel that it was firmer in the beginning and now it feels less firm when we first lay down. This is a super comfortable mattress that we really enjoy sleeping on. We would purchase this mattress again. hope this helps.

Yes it is firm enough that multiple lady friend each over 250Ibs in weight, that have slept on it, and sat down on it and their comment was boy I don't sink into the mattress. I am just a bit under 200Ibs, and it reminds me of the solid rubber mattress from Asia, where I grew up. It also comes with a bamboo cover. All in all I will say this a great mattress for the price. YOU MUST LET IT UNROLL AND SIT FOR A MINIMUM OF 24 HRS, AND THEN ROTATE AS RECOMMENDED INITIALLY FOR THE FIRST COUPLE OF MONTHS AND THEN IT IS WONDERFUL. Hope this helps

It is very firm much like any other play yard I have seen or used. It has a small bit of padding, but I would still call it firm. My baby never had a problem sleeping on it. Plus when they are small firm is good.

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.

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.

I bought this for a bassinet for my son. It was firm enough. I did regularly rotate the mattress so that it didn't get too indented. He is 3 months now and still sleeps in his bassinet with this mattress.

Hi, I have had the mattress for about a month in a guest room. I've slept on it a few nights too. It's like a marshmallow and not in a good way. I regret the purchase and find it far too soft and squishy. I wish I had purchased in-store at a local furniture shop. It was cheap and convenient, though, and I suppose for a hardly used guest room it's OK. But VERY very soft.

I saw no reason to get a dual firmness mattress. I figured if the only thing your baby has ever slept on is a firm mattress, they won't suddenly decide they want a softer mattress when they're a toddler, so why bother. My daughter has slept completely comfortably on this for the past 5 months (she's now 11 months) and don't forsee any need to switch to something softer in the future.

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.

We've had this mattress 6 months. Our toddler son sleeps on it every night from 9 to 11 hours each night. I've fallen asleep on the mattress with him as has my husband. We haven't had any issue with it and look forward to years with it. It's sustained some jumping too (as toddlers enjoy) on occassion and no issues. We have the twin size mattress. I did A LOT of research in deciding on a mattress for a young child. Highly recommend.

We personally did not like this mattress, but to answer your question. My granddaughter has gotten so very tall that she is now in what you would call a junior bed or a small twin bed and we use a Simmons Beauty Rest Med, Firm for her right now. Hope that helps, the important thing is to keep a bed guard up so they don't slip out of bed and as toddlers they seem to prefer a slightly softer bed than most adults can use , indulge them with a plush mattress for a while , it will change soon enough. Thanks for asking.
