Is the pad firm enough to use for sleep for several months until baby transitions into a crib?

My granddaughter is 2 months old and has been sleeping in the Rock n' Play since she came home from the hospital. My daughter confirmed that the mattress is firm enough for sleep at this age. Hope this helps.

Hi Matilda, My twin boys slept in this for approximately 3-4 months (alternated them nightly).

Unfortunately the mattress is not firm. But we placed blankets down and swaddle her. She is now 4 months and just moving out of bassinet. I love it and think it's worth the money. My parents didn't like it because they wanted something bigger. But it's easy to move and place next to bed because of the height

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

I think it is like a light weight lap pad. A three month baby should always be sleeping on his back to prevent crib death. I purchased a fitted crib sheet to keep the pad in place. We do not use the bassinet much because the air does not circulate around the baby, We lie the baby down here when we eat or do something when we are sitting around the bassinet. Her parents prefer her to be in her crib.

It's a good, firm mattress but still comfortable. When my baby girl was born, we put the mattress in our pack 'n play in our room. She slept there until she was 5 months old and then we moved her to a full-size crib. She slept well on this mattress and was very comfortable.

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.

Yes- this co sleeper is only designed for newborns through infants, so it is firm enough for them. Once your baby can sit up, it is not safe to use this anymore. Both my kids outgrew it by 5 months anyway.

I bought this for a bassinet for my son. It was firm enough. I did regularly rotate the mattress so that it didn't get too indented. He is 3 months now and still sleeps in his bassinet with this mattress.

No. It's probably a quarter of the thickness of a crib mattress. In reality it's a foam. But combined with that hard pack and play mattress it can be quite firm and supportive

Yes. I purchased it for my husband who is a side sleeper, and he slept very well on the pad.

This is quite a firm pad. 2" is more than sufficient, even on an air mattress.

In my opinion the toddler side of the mattress is firm enough. My toddler does most of his sleeping with his bum in the air, stomach down, but I think it's perfectly firm to support his back (I'm also a fan of firmer mattresses).

Yes. Our daughter slept in the bassinet every night for the first few months. We didn't transition her over to the crib until she was 4 months old.

Think of it this way--the mat the baby sleeps on rests on the floor. It's a great travel crib. It's big, it is easy to tote around, the sleeping mat is dense and high quality, and the baby can't hurt him/herself. The mat is low but if it is going to be set up and folded up a lot, it's worth it.

Everywhere I read they stressed on the firmness of the mattress for the new born and affect on the spine, hence the firmer mattress. I am happy with the firmness of the mattress and plus it is waterproof on the infant side which helps as well. Not sure about the cover pads, everyone's opinion is a little different, so I decided to skip that for now

I would say yes. It is really heavy and does make it hard to get it out of crib to change sheets. However, we had great results with getting my babes to sleep in their crib on this mattress. For that reason I would highly recommend

Yes it could. What i did was go to a local store and buy the extra mattress pad and cut it to size to add more cushioning. That way it's not too hard for your baby.

I would say its a little bit firmer than a crib mattress however it's not uncomfortable. It reminded me of a softer gym mat. Like the ones we used in gym class as kids. It's actually quite perfect for a bed away from home... In my opinion. :-)
