Do the movement sensors work well with a thin mattress (not standard mattress)?

Yes!! My daughter and son both have Angelcare systems and they used them in their bassinets before transferring them to the cribs. In fact, my son is still using it with his 2-1/2 year old in a "big boy bed." I finally got one for my house for when the grand babies are here. I cannot begin to tell you how much we love this monitor!!!

Yes it does we have a thick mattress for our sons crib and works well but we also have a thin mattress (separate to the one you get) for our travel cot and it works great I would highly recommend this monitor

We used the monitor with the bassinet mattress, which is fairly thin, and didn't have any issues with function. Just keep in mind the monitor won't work if you have a mobile running or vibration setting on your crib/bassinet. The monitor picks up the movement from the mobile rather than your baby. Easy enough fix as you just don't use the mobile when you want to the sensor pad to pick up baby's movement!

Yes. We use the monitor with our bassinet which has a very thin pad, no mattress at all. It works just fine.

They work great with any mattress, ours is like 5-6" thick in the crib and we use it in our bassinet that is only like 1" thick. Great product that we have used for three kids now!

We used it in the pack and play in our room until we moved our little one into the nursery/crib. That has a very thin pad. It worked great in there.

Yes, the sensors work well with a thin mattress. We are currently using an Angelcare monitor with our bassinett, which has a thin mattress. It works as well as everyone has described. It's gone off all the times we take her out and forget to shut off one of the monitors. Other than that only went off once when she spit up, I think she was sleeping deeply. It startled her awake, I noticed the spit up afterward.

Depends on the size of your bed posts. They do a very good job of reducing small vibrations but the pads are not very big around. If you have large posts on the bed you will have difficulty getting it to stay up.

That was my initial concern as well. For the full size bed we used these on, they work great. There isn't any wobbling or noises. They stay firm and hold the bed securely in place. I am very happy with these as I have tried many others that failed miserably!

We use them on an adjustable bed that has both head and foot adjustments. The mattress is a little rigid and needs a body on it to maintain contact with the bed but it is very comfortable in the inclined positions we use.

Not at all. I do have a standard mattress pad on it though. Nothing special just to protect the mattress. Very comfortable.

I've not gotten the motion sensing to work very well. but i've not messed with it much. You can use it in anything

Yes, the fitted ones are a little big because the mattress is thin but they work.

they are... at least I have a very thick mattress and mattress pad and I dont have any issues with it.

I have not used these with the mattress at the highest level. However, they are very compressible, so I would imagine that they would work fine.

They are pretty thin. I use them under my bed on carpet and it doesn't seem to raise the bed appreciably.

We have an air mattress bed. Not a sleep number but similar. The mattress pad works fine.

No. If you have an average thickness mattress you shouldn't be able to feel the bars.

Yes. I had slats that made my mattress sag and left marks. This is like a thin box spring and it has worked for me. Note that the dimensions were tight with my platform bed, but I love it.

I have my sensor placed on the floor next to my mothers bed. It took some trial and error to get placement right but now when anything goes off the top of the bed, foot , sock etc. the alarm sounds and I look at the video monitor to see if she's awake or if need to go in.

I don't feel like it does. My mattress is memory foam, and the pad works perfectly well with it.

When the mattress the pad is being used upon is a firm, innerspring mattress, this item will likely still work fine for someone under 120 pounds. However, if the mattress is not firm, or has anything "non-standard" about it, such as it is a TempurPedic, memory foam, or air mattress, or if there is some type of padding that has been added to the bed, this 10" x 30" sensor pad may not properly register the body at all times. This can cause false alarms, or majorly delayed alerts. You may want to consider a system with a 20" x 30" sensor pad instead, which is more effective under those scenarios, and can be purchased here: Cordless Bed Alarm System - No Alarm in Patient Room!

comfy... re: range of motion... at 20' and at the most, 30', my sensors still work. I believe that if you use the best batteries you can find.. you should not have a problem.
