Can this be used as bassinet for overnight sleep?

We actually have used this for sleeping when traveling. Once your baby can sit up it could be dangerous, but we have found it to be a perfect cradle.

Yes in my opinion. My son been sleeping in his since he was born. I use the rock n play more than his bassinet that's just how much he loves it and works very well in small spaces like beside the bed. I love this product and highly recommend it.

Using the box spring encasement could work. It's not as roomy as the mattress encasement and it doesn't have a soft covering like the mattress encasement. I believe it's durable enough and you should have a fitted sheet over it so sleep quality shouldn't be a problem either.

No, sorry it's not really made to sleep on every night. It's more for a temporary bed.

To wrap up everyone else's answers: Yes it can be used as a futon bed mattress, however you won't be able to fold the futon back into a "sitting/couch" position because the mattress is much too thick and heavy.

No, a bassinet mattress won't fit in it. For safety, I wouldn't recommend using anything else other than the pad that comes with it. My grandson is 5 months old now and still sleeps through the night in it. I haven't measured the pad but I think the size is on the web site

No, the basket is composed by 2 different pieces and in order to use it as bassinet you have to remove the mattress and install them

Yes. I made some cotton flannel covers for it that are like a pillow case, so the mattress slips into them. It adds an extra bit of warmth to the mattress. This bassinet mattress is very good quality and has the necessary firmness comparable to a crib mattress for supporting a newborn baby's spine as it's developing.

I don't know, you would have to see what kind of frame a Sleep Number mattress requires. Based only on size, I don't see why it should be able to be used, but I don't know if Sleep Numbers use a box spring or anything else.

Yes and no. The bottom of the bassinet is a plastic construction that can change surface from flat to semi sitted. It is covered with removable padded sheet.Please note that is not a mattress and you cannot use fitted sheets there, only flat ones. I used a lamb skin during winter.

Definitely not. It seems to me it was meant mainly for napping indoors on a soft surface. The bottom side is no thicker than the top, which is pretty thin.

I haven't tried it, but I would guess you could since the pad( the trifold padded board) that normally goes in the bottom moves to the top for the bassinet and is the same size as the mattress. I don't know if it would be safe though, since you would be raising the height by three inches.

I don't see why not, but that would make the mattress lose its firmness through the night even faster (as body heat activates the "contouring") - we got the 3.5 firmness and it's still like waking up in a hammock every morning.

no--I own this and it's a great travel crib, but because you have to bend over pretty far to pick up a little baby out of the crib, it would get tiring very fast. I highly recommend the arms reach mini co sleeper for a bassinet. I used it with my older child and my twins, until each was about 3-4 mos old, then graduated to crib. I LOVE this travel crib, but not for a regular crib/bassinet for newborn.

No, it is rectangular, like a cradle mattress. But it could probably be folded under at the corners and used on a bassinet mattress.

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.

For a bassinet, no. That's about standard for them. By nature, they are smaller. They just aren't meant for bigger babies.
