I bought this mattress but my 18lb baby sinks down on it. Is it just me or this is NOT a firm mattress?

My 32 lb toddler still sleeps on it. I haven't had any problems. Sorry! This is the second mattress we bought. Is your crib base good? Maybe not enough support there.

I haven't experienced that with our 20 pd princess. It's a great 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.

Mine had a little give but if it sinks more than an inch I'd return it as defective.

My daughter is a little heavier, but we've had the same problem. It doesn't seem to be very firm. Need to purchase a crib mattress for our son and will not be getting this one again.

I can only tell you that my granddaughter didn't sink down into the mattress. It feels firm...maybe you got a defective mattress. I would look into that.

Firmness is related to what mattress you put this on. If you put it on a firm mattress then it will make it give a little where you stick out, like your shoulder, hips, etc. It won't make you sink in a lot though. If you put it on a soft mattress then you will sink in as well. I'm much larger than my wife and I like it more, so I don't think its related to weight. My wife has arthritis and she really wants a mattress that sinks in more, like a full memory foam mattress. This top will make a firm mattress feel better in the morning without losing support, but it won't turn it into a low support mattress. Firmness is related to what mattress you put this on.

I'm a 195lb man, and even though 5.5 should be rather firm, I found it to be much too soft for my liking. (I was looking for something firm.) I had a 4" memory foam topper from my previous spring mattress that I put on top of this though, and it feels much better (firm) now. I'd say if you want something you can sink into a bit, this would be right up your alley.

Quit the opposite. The mattress is suppose to start off fairly firm and after awhile of expanding it gets softer. Especially with warmer temperatures.

This is NOT a squishy mattress! Firm and comfortable from the get go. I have had it several months now and it is still firm and comfy. I would buy it again and will recommend it to you. Good luck!

This is VERY FIRM!!! I know you're supposed to have a firm mattress for an infant but this isn't comfortable for my little one at all. I have to make a fist and push down hard on it for it to make a dent. Needless to say I now use it as a dog bed and my dogs won't even sleep on it (and they pretty much sleep on anything). I read the reviews on it before purchasing and it looks like most people love it but I definitely wouldn't call this mattress "cushy". I hope this helps!

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.

It must be quite comfortable; my son has been sleeping on it since Xmas. However, I did put a mattress pad on it at the time of setting it up. It is now due for another pad because he had told me it's beginning to sink.

It was soft as a foam mattress so it might be a lil too squishy. I set min on top instead of using a foam topper.

The mattress is a soft medium...very comfortable, but I haven't slept an entire night on it yet, so I'm not sure how my back will hold up. You might want to look at some other options, because it is definitely not firm.

no, this is a great mattress. We first put our baby on it a 6 months (now 8) he loved it from the start, has a nice "spring" to it, really happy with the quality and price also. We rotate it every couple of weeks, over all couldn't be happier!

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 absolutely not a firm mattress. It's medium to soft, I would say. Don't think this mattress is for you!

Its not downy soft but mine is not 'stiff as a board'. Maybe someone else knows. *Always remember to search google/bing/yahoo /whatever for opinions and info.

When I first received the mattress, it was firm. After about a month it softened up a lot.

My husband, who was 280 lbs. when we bought the topper, felt it was too soft/not firm enough. After losing 70 pounds, he now feels it's just right. So I agree with the individual who suggested your son might prefer a more dense/thicker topper. If you can find a denser mattress by this manufacturer, it would be a good purchase. I love our topper, by the way.

I have this mattress and I'm having the same problem. It scoots down so that it's drooping off the edge and the frame is exposed at the top.
