Can you use the Kamp-Rite QUEEN self-inflating pad with this? And, could one person sleep on this without it tipping over? Can kids crawl on it?

I use a Coleman queen size air mattress and it works awesome. One person could easily sleep in this cot. The cot ids very sturdy and stable and would say that yes kids could crawl it .

I tried to use a queen size camping air mattress and it didn't work. The center ridge was so high that it sloped too steeply downward toward the outside of the cot. A self-inflating pad might work f you don't mind sleeping a slope to the outside. I think it would be tippy with one person sleeping on it. Because of the high center ridge, you can't sleep in the middle, you have to sleep fully on one side, so one person might not work. Don't know re kids crawling on it. Sorry.

Yes, you probably could but in our experience, the thicker the pad the better otherwise the central support bar can be annoying. One person can indeed sleep on this but not in the center unless you have a very thick pad. I have sat on it, napped on it without having any feeling like it was going to tip over. Kids can crawl on it without any risk of it tipping over but the steel support beams could hurt them if they fall on it. Again, well padded mattress (or good air mattress) solves this problem. though some air mattresses will slide around when no one is on it holding it in place.

I would not recommend it. It opens into a narrow bed and it is quite hard. I slept on it with a foam padding and it was OK for me. I am quite slender so it was all right for a night or two. I use it as a spare when I have sleepover guests.

The 12" plush memory foam mattress is pretty firm- my son (2 years old) has slept on it fine. Make sure you get the waterproof liner in case of potty accidents. I don't have the gel foam mattress so I can't make that comparison.

It's just as soft as any other mat that would be slip resistant. It has a bit of a "nap" to it. It wouldn't hurt a child to crawl on it and sitting on it is just fine. It isn't really padded, though, like the rubber mats we used with our kids.

I haven't done it, but I am pretty confident you can use an air mattress pump or something similar. However they are really easy to blow up, easier than it looks, not a lot of air. They are a great buy, super cheap fun!

I nap on it with my 2-year-old. I'm 200 pounds. Of course, my feet hang off the end, but I'm very comfortable on it.

Hi I received a response from the company, they said there is some padding...... they do have special needs children use it... but they are not sure how much padding you are thinking of.... can always add blankets per say,, but they wouldnt add another mattress or similar due to suffocation hazards... wish I can be of more help...

I believe there is a weight limit of 200 lbs but not 100 percent sure . My wife finds it comfortable and it has helped us immensely . I would suggest the variable pump tho , to soften the pad if necessary .

It doesn't self-inflat, you give it a few short bursts of breath and it's inflated. What I learned about it is that it's most comfortable Not totally inflated -- you need some "play" to cushion. Also, don't miss out on the "secret" -- it's not only soothing comfort for the tush, it's heaven for feet (partially inflate and put it on the floor and put your tootsies on top, feels wonderul, especially on flights). My husband and I really had delightful relief on flights.

We did not have this experience with our co-sleeper. When the kiddos had respiratory problems we placed a small folded towel under the mattress pad by their head to elevate their upper body. You could try doing something similar on the side that is lower to level it out.

The pad which comes with the co-sleeper is pretty terrible. It is a hard folding pad -- so not only is it extremely firm, it also has three gaps/grooves. And you can't put a second mattress on top of it or you'll cover up the mesh sides (which are necessary in case your baby rolls over -- to avoid them getting suffocated by the plastic siding). The mattress is a very badly made part, in my opinion.

I dont have children.... but I cannot imagine this NOT being a better option than a mattress on the floor....I am about 240 lbs and I sleep on these very comfortably......NO WAY to fall off of these really.......go for it.....

Yes, I think it is okay for side sleeping. However, an elbow or hip or something might contact through the pad to the ground depending on your overall weight and weight distribution. I weigh over 200 lbs, but find I can sleep on my side okay.

I have slept on it stacked a few times and I found it very comfortable and stable. I used it at home so I put sheets on it instead of using a sleeping bag. The key is to inflate the top one to your liking.

With water or heavy beans/sand inside, I think it would be difficult for a non-walker to accidentally flip over. My 21 mo son leans all of his body weight on and lifts his feet, so it's not flimsy. I think there is always a chance kids could tip any water table over, but this one has a low, wide profile.(And I have only used with water so far. Sorry:-)

Yes. I purchased it for my 2. 5 yr old grandson and it worked great. It was very comfortable, and easy to inflate and deflate. No issue with the ridges.

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.
