Can anyone recommend an organic mattress that will fit this? I found an LA BAby that said organic, but it was just the cover. Thanks.

We went with Naturepedic Organic Cotton Portacrib Mattress. The filling is organic cotton. The waterproof lining is polyethylene, rather than PVC. The fit to the DaVinci crib is perfect.

I bought a "Genesis Twin Size Foam/Cotton/Polyester Futon Mattress" for the frame. I don't know if it's still available through Amazon. It fits fine, overlapping the sides and top/bottom just a bit, as I want it. I've never tried to fold it back onto itself, and I think it's a bit thick for actually using it that way. But it also seems to me that you wouldn't want a thinner futon or else you might feel the frame through it when you use it in the normal way. That's all I know, since I have no experience beyond this frame and futon. You might also consider adding a foam pad over the futon - it's sooo comfy!!! Like floating on air.

I too found the mattress included completely substandard, scary thin, I was afraid my son may develop flat head syndrome. I had a custom mattress and fitted sheets made by this company. They ask you to send in a template so I used the old mattress and traced it out on newspaper. It came out perfect and worked out great for us. The company is called aBaby.com

I used crib size mattress sheets. They fit well. I believe you can get an extra cover. I never needed one. Hope this helps

I read that the LA baby 2" compact crib mattress fits well. I am using the pad that comes with the crib but I will probably buy the LA 2" mattress.

Hi, Doug - I ordered the Full mattress - need to correct my review. I wouldn't recommend since the mattress in and of itself is 5" high. Contact the folks at Tuft and Needle for another option. They are quite helpful. https://www.tuftandneedle.com

My baby slept beautifully in the bassinet with the mattress it came with. It's just hard to find sheets that fit.

I bought a 6inch thick mattress from ikea, n it fits great on top. Still plenty of room, to play n sit up with out falling over. I have a 3 year old son n he loves it.. best bed for a toddler n great price..

I was just searching for one in queen and I Googled cover for memory foam topper. I found some on OverSt.com (you know what I mean) but they are almost as expensive (2/3rds the price of a complete set). Our memory foam is 5 yrs. old so I'm trying to decide if I just shouldn't buy a whole new set though the foam is in brand new shape - the cover couldn't be washed again because it is falling apart.

Personally I feel that the Dream On Me Evenflo Baby Suite Selection 300 Foam Mattress with Square Corner (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009RPH72I/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc;=1) is a better fit, even though its not as firm. As another reviewer mentioned, the mattress is a bit narrower than the Evenflo Portable Baby Suite, there are some noticeable gaps, not HUGE gaps, but definitely doesn't fit as snug as the other mattress I mentioned.

I bought a full-size cotton coil premium mattress for Overstock.com and it works great, fits perfectly, very comfortable, mattress is heavy though, weighs about 90 pounds and is thick. I would only stick with the full-size though, twin would be to small and queen would overhang off of frame, have had frame and mattress about 1 1/2 years and am very pleased with it.It is hard to put frame back into couch mode with mattress on it, be mindful about how heavy of a mattress you are going to get, for my mattress, I just pull it off and put back to couch mode. Good Luck

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?

I would also like to know the answer to that! You posted a few months ago... did you make a decision? How'd it work out?We are looking at the naturepedic organic matresses and in particular, wondering if we should get the 252 coil or if the 150 coil is OK with this crib. A description of the mattresses suggests that 150 is fine if the mattress support on the crib is very supportive (i.e. wood slats) vs. something that can sag (wire mesh)... Where does the Kalani's metal support fall on this continuum? Very supportive or can it sag?

I am sorry I don't remember, but I think you can search for the mattress that will fit the dream on me crib, I think it will be okay, if you can get a mattress with the crib seize.

This is kind of late, but for anyone else looking for replacement mattress covers or mattress pads for the 5 in 1 Sleep System, just go to The Learning Curve which is The First Years' website. They have a shop for replacement parts for their products found here: http://shop.learningcurve.com/category/Replacement+Parts/Sleep/p1?navState=01

I actually ordered the Lullaby Earth Super Lightweight Crib Mattress. It fits the crib really well, and my daughter sleeps so well on it. Although it was expensive, I feel like it was definitely worth the expense. Good luck!

I have a king bed. The organic mattress pad does cover the mattress with elastic on the bottom of the side panels but doesn't fit it tightly as I would prefer. The fitted sheet on top of it does the job of pulling it closely.
