Does this mattress pad leave the mattress still firm enough for an infant, in regard to SIDS risk? Or is it too thick/soft for an infant?

You'd barely register the difference with/without - This pad is simply quilted and waterproof, not a cushion.' - And the waterproofing works too.

It's pretty firm - definitely more suited to an infant. Our daughter is 21 lbs and sleeps well on it as a temporary travel mattress.

The bottom does not have a thick padding, but as it is hanging (and not supported on a hard surface), I felt it was comfortable and my baby used to love this when she was little. However, I do not think it is good for extended time, I used it only for short naps. One big drawback I see for this is that the cloth is NOT washable (or I have not figured out it yet).

We got this after my daughter outgrew the bassinet, so I can't say on that, but she seems to sleep fine on the bottom pad. It is very firm, but I haven't seen a playard pad that was any softer. They all seem to be about the same.

I don't think the mattress is firm enough for a new born baby to sleep on at night. I got this for travel and it works perfect but it is soft. I can fold the mattress in half its so soft.

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.

This mattress pad is about a 1/4 of an inch thick. I don't think that it will soften the effects of a firm bed, but the pad is very nice.

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 chose this one after reading reviews on multiple sites. I liked that it had dual firmness - for when baby is small and when she gets older.I didn't end up getting a cover pad because the cover on the actual mattress is so thick and waterproof.

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.

I have hard wood floors and I lie the baby on it and it doesnt seem to bother her. About the thickness of the mat its not like a gym pad. Its more like a bed comforter thickness.

I don't know how much softness your looking for, but you will not sink into this pad, it kind of cradles you without sinking. You may want to test any pad that your thinking of buying since the memory foam is too firm.

No. It is too soft. It would bottom out. I am not happy with mine. I'm thinking that the next time I add to my review I will lower its rating to a 1. I turned the pad over and it already has low places forming on the new side. I would not recommend the purchase of this pad. I am still sleeping on mine. It is better than nothing on my firm mattress.

Hi. It is about an inch thick. It is much better than the pad that comes with the co sleeper. The original pad is very cheap and plastic. I highly recommend getting the organic mattress pad. It is very soft and comfy. :)

No I wouldn't get a mattress pad for it. My daughter sleeps on it without any complaints. It is an air mattress so it isn't squishy like a mattress but it does the job just fine.

The mattress pad is a good quality. Our son slept in the bassinet overnight and we never had any issue.

I don't think it's too soft but it's not very much padding just a little thicker that a sheet I bought a portable crib mattress and put this on it , it still feels very firm
