bounce ? the smaller pad bounces up and down a lot when playing on a bed. is this one heavy enough to hold it's place?

Shouldn't be a problem. It's a fairly solid and heavy pad. I play it on a couch cushion and the bed and it is solid, no movement at all.

My son has always used it on his lap, so I am not sure. It is a good size, though.

I don't feel like it does. My mattress is memory foam, and the pad works perfectly well with it.

It does bounce. I use it for ball slams. It is about the size of a basketball.

I bought it for my son and he absolutely loves it. Doesn't find too much bounce back. Hope this helps.

Nope, it's pretty firm. If you want a smaller one, get the smaller size and pad where needed.

Both, the weight and the bottom of the pad. I haven't had any issues with mine sliding around.

Yes, I'd say this item is essentially a bassinet. We use this as a bassinet at night and for occasional naps during the day. The bed is not heavy so it's easy to move around your home if needed. We don't have the matching bouncer but find this works well on its own. Our baby is three months old and in the 90th percentile for height but it looks like this will fit her for while. Bottom line, if you love the design I'd go for it. I think our baby would probably sleep just as well in something cheaper, but I'm glad to have something neutral and simple around.

It doesn't have a high bounce, BUT I use it in the traps and it works just fine. I have skulked a few but thats probably user error.

So far it has supported our granddaughter who weighs 31 pounds, for a short one-week visit. She was not jumping around in the bed, so we are not sure how it would support a bouncing child! Of course, the bed must be set to the lowest position, as a child that heavy will be able to stand up at the rails! The bed can be used with the attached casters, or locked into position so the crib does not move.

The pad is very heavy and not too cushy. It's the typical portable crib pad. It wraps around the crib itself when it's all folded up. I really do love it though.

Very stable. Ours hangs from the bed headboard and it doesn't really bounce at all when you tap. It is probably most resistant to movement when you have it in a bind. For example, if you crane the neck to where it is under the most tension on one side/compression on the other, it doesn't move as much as if you had the neck perfectly straight. This is true for most things in general though, so I suppose it depends on what orientation you are looking for. That said, it's minimal bounce is perfectly acceptable in any position as a means to swipe and tap around the iPad; I probably wouldn't want to write a novel on it like that though.

Yes I bought a thicker pad for this board, but the spring broke after a week, now I have a budgie cord holding it closed, I actually like it better because I don't have that strong snap when pulling it down. I love the space it saves me.

Mine never moves around. I put it directly on the mattress then put the mattress pad over that, then the sheets. The mattress pad helps keep it in place. I also don't use cheap mattress pads since those have a hard time fitting over the memory foam and mattress-get one with the elastic sides.

This one does have a good "bounce." My 3 1/2 year old can get a little over a foot of air.

Maybe if using the legs to do so. I do not have it attached to the bed but standing on the legs and have no problems with it moving. We have a ca ling head board. And it is not one of those new heavy mattresses and it still does not move. You might try that first.Sandy

As a happy owner of this mattress, I can say that we sit every night on the head of the bed to watch TV, yet the mattress bounces right back when we move to sleep position. Would feel confident that your sleeper mattress would bounce back when opened. Enjoy!

Absolutely! Not only does it prevent stuff from moving around but it is a thick durable material. Highly recommend. Just be sure you get the right size. This is the LB (long bed 6').
