the support for the mattress appears to be fiberboard. Would a flat spring support from another standard full-size crib fit this crib?

I honestly can't tell you that. However, the support for the mattress is very sturdy, framed and well braced. Unless you had a hefty 2 year old jumping up and down, I can't see that your baby won't be safe in this crib. It is very well made. I have no hesitation at all putting my one year old granddaughter in this crib......it is solidly constructed.

It would be the same size, however the fiberboard support system is hinged on one side with locking clips on the opposite side. This makes this crib easy to fold and store or move to another room without taking the whole thing apart. To substitute the spring support might compromise the safety.

If the dimensions are the same, I would think so...Not sure what the difference of a "flat spring support" vs. a standard full-size mattress is. But dimension wise, it should. Also because the bed is solidly made and is a full size crib, it is capable of holding the full size mattress. Hope that helps.

I don't know. Measure and see. We use the crib for our 2 year old grandson when he is here visiting about once or twice a month. He is a big boy and this crib has worked out just fine.

to use this as a full size bed, all you need is the large headboard piece that is curved at the top. You will need to buy a metal bed frame which will attach to the headboard. No other pieces from the crib are used. hope this is helpful.

Yes, a standard size crib mattress fits well. We are extremely pleased with everything about this crib.

My son, at college, is using the frame as a twin bed frame only so he has not used the support legs that one needs if making a full size frame. My hunch is that after the weight of the box springs and mattress are added to the frame, the frame will "settle down" and the supports will likely touch the floor. The frame works great as a twin size and my son has had no problems.

We put a sheet of plywood over our existing box springs and it's worked beautifully. You definitely need to support the mattress.

Hi Tootsie, we got this crib and the Naturepedic organic 150 mattress. Fits well!The Kalani's metal support is one solid piece & therefore cannot sag in the center.

Yes, it is much more supportive like a normal inner spring mattress. It has actual springs in it.

I have had 2 other mattresses that were a little smaller than the one recommended for this bed, but the previous mattresses fit the same in both of my cribs. So this crib will support other mattresses other than the one recommended for it. But the recommended mattress fits better in this crib and in my other crib as well. I do think it is a little bigger than most, but it also has less of a gap between mattress and crib sides.

It appears this would be too big for a crib. We are using it on a full size bed.

We bought this Sealy Soybean Foam Core and we think it was perfect for this crib. Fits perfectly and it should be very nice and safe.Sealy Soybean Foam-Core Crib Mattress (Design pattern may vary)

I guess it would depend on the crib you are attaching it to--We bought a full size mattress/boxspring and it fit perfect--the crib was made for a full size conversion--although there is a kit for "adapting" offered so maybe that is for a twin

no it will not. it is the size of a pack and play. plus, it is not thick enough to be placed on the springs of a crib. I would recommend the Safety 1st Foam Crib Mattress if you are looking for a budget mattress. We have it and I highly recommend. Safety 1st Heavenly Dreams White Crib Mattress

Your baby is heavier than mine, but it is a firm mattress and our son does not sink in it. If your baby is sinking and the mattress is the issue (assuming you've ruled out the crib based on your question), I would stop using the mattress immediately for safety. That is not normal, and you should be able to return the mattress.

It should work just fine. My daughter's crib also has a wooden platform, not springs, and this bed rail is designed specifically for these types of cribs.The rail has durable, adjustable straps that run from the rail under the mattress and to a metal disc. You place the disc upright against the opposite side of the mattress from the rail, and the mattress itself holds the rail in place. Unless your kid is strong enough to lift up his/her mattress, you shouldn't have any problems with the bedrail moving or shifting at all.

Unnoticeable, so the answer would be no. Great crib, It has a wire spring bottom, not just a board like most do. I paired it with a memory foam mattress and my 16 month old daughter sleeps better here than at her mothers.

Yes, I just moved my sons crib mattress directly into the bed. It fits perfectly! I love this bed and will be getting another one for my other son.

My mattress is tight too...but it does fit. All mattresses for cribs are tight so the baby doesn't get stuck in the gap. If the mattress is the same dimensions as the crib is ....it should be fine. I don't remember which mattress I ordered but it was for a mini crib since the directions stated NOT to use a full thickness.
