How soft or firm is this? I want something cushy for an older baby.

It's firm but not stiff, my son isnt heavy enough to give it the "sinking" effect when laying on it, he is 24lbs 15 months and sleeps well on it, soft and cushy isn't good for their spines at this age so I opted to wait for the super "comfy" you can cover it with a nice fleece baby blanket & get a similar effect (I did this) hope I answered your concern.

It's pretty firm - definitely more suited to an infant. Our daughter is 21 lbs and sleeps well on it as a temporary travel mattress.

It's pretty firm so if you want something cushy you'll need to find another mattress. I purchased it because I wanted something in my play yard other than the hard surface it has. Good Luck!!!

It is markedly better than the pack and play floor alone but its very firm but compared to our crib mattress has a little more give to it.. we have it in the ingenuity washable yard and it fits like a dream.. no gaps

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!

It is a firm soft if that makes sense. It is not hard at all. I love this pillow!

It is neither soft nor firm - it is a flexible cushioning support, like a gel shoe insert. Look at the detailed description and picture.

It is firm enough for the baby to sleep on at any stage. Almost exact firmness as the mattress I have for my crib.

When we lay in ours it sinks down and supports everything. So I would say soft

It feels similar to my firm pillows, but still soft enough to squeeze and cuddle in. I love the lower back support and the height of the head pillow. I really like soft pillows, but this pillow has the perfect mix of firmness and softness with the support you need with a growing belly. Hope this helped.

This is better than most but not perfect, I would estimate it would be at a good level of firmness for probably 18 to 24 months. It is good not great. (BTW it did not have much of any odors out of the box, which was a pleasant surprise for us) Hope this helps

Not real firm. I think it's perfect for snuggling. I have ordered 8 pillows in the last month and have 1 left. My granddaughters love them.

I would say a good combination of firm and medium. It's not too firm where you feel like you're snuggling a hard memory foam pillow, but it's not too soft where if you throw your leg over it that it squishes down to nothing. I bought because of spinal surgery. I would suggest to get a cover for it because it is not a soft feeling case it's in.

I have the one that is rated at 5.5 pounds density and it is very firm. I'm a big gal and I don't "sink" into it. I would think a softer density would be better for a child, but honestly don't know.

It's firm. Neither soft as the car seat itself nor rock hard. According go my 6yr it's just fine.

Firm. We also have the squishy cooshie one and the soft gear one - the kids like those. They don't like to sit on this one. I'd recommend against it for long sitting at homeschool.

2- much softer than I expected. I believe the underlying foam is just to soft. Understand that I was looking for a very firm mattress for my back.

Good morning L.M., I would say it is about a medium firmness. We have had it for several months now and it is still comfortable to my son. I was worried that after a while he would feel the slats through it, but that hasn't happened. Overall it is a great buy.

It is firm. Not much give to the small weight of a child. It's not as firm as sleeping on a floor but I would consider it as firm as it can get. I chose the firmest I could find as the firmer the better when it comes to safest sleeping (when it comes to SIDS.) We were very satisfied with this mattress. My son used it until he was 2 when he moved to a larger mattress and he slept well on it always. I plan on using it again for future children.

That's what my husband and I have used this for all along. The mattress is the right kind for a newborn - you don't want something too cushy. I do have to agree with a previous commenter who said that you would need a lot of space next to your bed - you do need a fair amount. But so easy to set up!
