Did anyone else find that the mattress is really thin? I know newborns need a firm surface, but this seems too hard. Did you buy a replacement?

No. It was a temporary sleep arrangement. Once we transitioned to the crib (shortly before baby was too big for this anyways), we chose a firm mattress.

That's what my husband and I have used this for all along. The mattress is the right kind for a newborn - you don't want something too cushy. I do have to agree with a previous commenter who said that you would need a lot of space next to your bed - you do need a fair amount. But so easy to set up!

Quit the opposite. The mattress is suppose to start off fairly firm and after awhile of expanding it gets softer. Especially with warmer temperatures.

My grand baby is not here yet, although I have raised 4 kids and the firmness of the mattress seems appropriate to me for a newborn and older child. In reading reviews for the foam mattress I thought there were too many comments about the foam one being hard like the pack and play bottom. I was trying to provide something more comfortable than this while remaining safe.

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.

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.

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.

A family members baby has been sleeping on it since she first came home and she is just fine. My 9 mo old sleeps on it every night since she was 7 mo old, I highly recommend it. Her head doesn't sink into the mattress but it's definitely not as firm as regular baby mattresses

I'm not sure but maybe you could contact the manufacture. I think it's fine with out any extra. You don't want it to soft for newborns due to risk of SIDS. I love it the way it is and the sheet that I got cleans up great!

Unfortunately the mattress is not firm. But we placed blankets down and swaddle her. She is now 4 months and just moving out of bassinet. I love it and think it's worth the money. My parents didn't like it because they wanted something bigger. But it's easy to move and place next to bed because of the height

We bought the foam mattress and returned it. It was loud! We spent the few extra bucks and bought the inner spring mattress and our baby sleeps in it with no problems.

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.

It does come with a mattress but it's very thin and does not look too comfortable for the baby. It's so thin you could feel all the material and hardware of the bassinet if you press down a bit.

My husband, who was 280 lbs. when we bought the topper, felt it was too soft/not firm enough. After losing 70 pounds, he now feels it's just right. So I agree with the individual who suggested your son might prefer a more dense/thicker topper. If you can find a denser mattress by this manufacturer, it would be a good purchase. I love our topper, by the way.

No. I have two pebble pure mattresses, one for my 2 year old son and one for my newborn daughter and neither time did I experience that...we love them!

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 think the shock of first laying on it is that it is very firm, but your body just slowly nestles into it. We have had ours a couple of months and it is still very firm when first sitting or laying down, but it has settled a bit after the first few weeks. Give it some more time, both for the mattress and your body to adjust to the difference. We are very happy with ours, but it did take some adjustment time, after being used to an old spring/coil mattress.
