Can you use this playpen for overnight sleeping? Will this one do the trick?

Yes this is great for sleep and play. The mattress is softer than normal sleep and play set I have had in the past. I am so glad I bought it.

I used mine to sleep when I had a terrible hotel bed. It helped me get to sleep, but I move around too much when I sleep and found it got in the way. But if you sleep in one position, then you might like it.

I would say no. I just measured the mattress and it was 25X37. So the mattress may just be a tad too long. My playpen measures 26X38 and the mattress fits perfectly down in there.

The mattress is not neatly as firm as my pack n' play. There is no fold in it and it does lay flat. I haven't used it yet though as my 2 month old exclusively sleeps in the incline sleeper attachment right now due to reflux. However her head always falls off the little pillow into the same position and she is developing mild torticollus and a flat spot even though she is only in it about 6 hours through the night. Now that I've noticed I removed the pillow and turn her head the opposite way constantly. I still love this bassinet and recommend it, just make sure your little one changes his position.

The mattress is flat, but not firm. The board underneath it provides the firmness and support. Be aware, though, that if using the raised sleep option, the mattress is not used. Yes, it is intended for overnight sleep. My baby has slept in it overnight. well, that's not quite true. He gets up to nurse several hours into the nights and after that stays in my bed. But he COULD potentially sleep in it overnight.

Hello!If they don't shake the playpen too much it will be okay for your floor. But if they play all the time, if they are hyper there would be a problem. Other than that it's a fantastic item. However my dog is alone in it. It may make a difference. She started in a big crate and then we switch to the playpen. She was sleeping in it. It became her house. She now sleeps loose in the house and she is 1 year old and about 30 pounds. But she has always access to her playpen. I hope it helps. Good luck! Lucie

I've done it before, but be warned the baby can flip over the side if too tall..which is a scary sight to see - take my word on it.So far, both my older children have not slept well in the playpen, the flooring is hard and using blankets/extra padding is dangerous.All of mine were too tall to use the playpen by 18 months.Sorry to sound negative, these playpens are great but we have found them to be insufficient as sleep areas for baby or young toddlers and best used for play.I'd suggest a crib mattress on the floor in a babygated and babyproofed room, or one of those bean pod portable beds.

To play in yes, probably but probably not to sleep in. It fits two sleeping bags side by side.

Definitely get a pack n play! They are multi functional and you can use them for years. We got the pea pod for vacation and our 13 month old wouldn't sleep in it. I think it was too intimidating for him.

Definitely. We use it to put our 18mo and 3yo in it without any problems. We even have a tall 4yo friend that uses it occasionally. It has been the most helpful thing to us for traveling naps and isolated vacation sleeping.

Better. It has a mosquito net attachment that you can use as needed. I used it outside, but as my daughter grew taller (age 2 1/2) I removed it and it still served as a travel playpen/crib. It also has a removable sunshade. Contact the seller to see if special combo pricing is available. I used a code from the company website.

The floor piece of the playpen is padded, so it can be used as a bed without buying another piece. We have a crib for every night use, but use a playpen when we're on vacation, etc. Unless you're planning on using it as a primary, every night bed/crib, I wouldn't worry about spending the extra money on something that you aren't going to use as often and would be difficult to store. I would recommend the sheet, though, as the fabric/lining doesn't seem overly comfortable. Graco sells fitted sheets specifically for their playpens, but the sizing seems to be standard among brands of playpens and sheets.

It could be used in a pinch as a playyard while on vacation, but I don't think it would satisfy that need regularly. Not only is it small, but the mattress just sort of hangs in the fabric at the bottom, meaning that the sides go up a bit and I think it would not be that sturdy a surface for a little one to move around on.

That's exactly what I've been using it for. I just adjust his head every so often to make sure it's supported because since this is on an incline, his head can slump down a bit sometimes. However, since you're feeding every 3 hrs you have plenty of opportunity to reposition. It's the only thing my newborn will sleep in. He wouldn't use the flat co-sleeper bassinet/pack and play we bought--I think because it made his stomach hurt because he couldn't get his burps out flat on his back. This is one of the few incline sleepers. It's very easy to pack from room to room.

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

In my opinion, yes, we used this with our child at a month and a half. Be sure though that the measurements of this mattress will fit your pack and play/ playard. Not all pack and plays share the same measurements and your mattress should not leave any space between it and the mattress. We loved this item!

I use pack n play/play yard size. I use this mattress just for some extra padding in our play yard for weekend trips; I would not use as a main mattress. Way too thin.
