What kind of mattress did you use with this cradle?

I ended up just looking up cradle mattresses and bought the one with the best reviews. The one I got had an extra thickness to it but it was two years ago so I can't remember the exact one.

I found The mattress To Thin, So I Put A Foam piece Down In The Bassinet With A Fitted Sheet.The Foam Piece Was The Exact Size As The Mattress.

I used both. I didn't move the bed around too much, and having both seemed better for the baby. The one that comes is really thin and hard, with some padding. I felt the mattress that came with the travel lite crib supported this mattress better than not using it.

I purchased a twin size foam mattress from Costco. It was a perfect fit and there is no need for a box spring.

I don't know what mattress you are asking about, but I love ours. We use them for when our kids end up in our room from nightmares, but I slept on it once and it is very comfortable. We store it in a corner of our room right now for easy grabbing. :)

Any full mattress will do. We actually got a Bob-o-pedic mattress. It's a memory foam one. It is absolutely an awesome mattress.

I use the memory foam and the mattress rests on a spring type support. All these together equal a great nights sleep and I highly recommend this product.

I bought the mattress. I went to the makers site and read allthe specs there. It is very informative. Go there and find your answer.

I am using a platform. I had a platform bed with drawers under that I had an I am still using it. Works great and love my Brentwood 10" HD Memory foam mattress.

All the new Mom's that we have put this mattress into their cradle say it is perfect. Not too firm to be uncomfortable, yet firm enough so the baby doesn't become swallowed in it.

I bought a 12 inch memory foam mattress and a regular queen box spring for it and that combination was perfect. Hope that helps.

Dont know the other mattress, but happy with this one although it does show where baby sleeps already only after 6 months use...

The mattress that comes with the cradle has the dimensions listed on it and it says 34" X 17". We measured the space available on the cradle and it is something like 34.5" X 17.5" (read 0.5 to mean a tad extra). We would like to buy a mattress of the same size (but 2" depth) but there aren't many choices available on Amazon or even on the others online stores.

You should definitely get an extra mattress for this cradle, the pad it comes with is not enough for baby! We used the pad in it plus a 3 inch cradle mattress we purchased separately!

I would suggest sticking with a spring mattress if you are concerned about weight/sagging. If you notice the store floor models of the solid "memoryfoams" they all have a bit of a sink from people just testing them --- I went with a combo model - individually wrapped coils/springs with only the outer layer memory foam. for us it was much better and breathes more cooler.

I am not sure who manufactures this mattress as there is no tag attached that indicates this information, but it has worked well in a cradle rocker for the past six months.
