Is the firmness of this mattress appropriate for a 2 year old?

Generally, the thicker the mattress, the more plush/soft the mattress will be. The 8" is designed for back sleepers. The 10-12" is designed for back/side sleepers. The 13" is designed for all around sleeping, including on the stomach. Memory foam mattresses will contour to your body during your rest, as it reacts to temperature. It will support your full body by contouring to your body shape. Our spring mattresses, still give support, as your body will contour to the individually wrapped coils.

No, it's perfect firmness. My 4-mo old loves it, even to play and practice his tummy time. If it were softer (like our bed) he wouldn't be able to do tummy time so well (hands would sink a little into mattress).

Not necessarily,.. if the person sleeping on it is not very heavy. I bought a good quality mattress and it seems fine for my daughter who is 5 years old. A bigger person/heavier might need a box spring. Hope this helps.

No. A toddler bed mattress is too small. You need a twin size bunk bed mattress.

This mattress is fairly firm. It's a little soft on the edges though for sitting on.

The pillow I received is apparently different. It is approximately six inches thick and it is firm. It compresses to about 2-3 inches with weight. I don't think I would give it to a 2 yr. old, maybe to a 4 yr. old. I got it for an arthritic knee so it is okay for me.

I am very pleased with the mattress. My granddaughter is now 9 months old and I am still using the firmer side. Comfy mattress. It is softer than the rigid waterproof mattresses, but the feel is good. I do not feel it is too soft.

I think it would work fine for that age. My grandson is 2 and sleeps fine on it. He will do fine for the next few years on it since it is firm and supportive.

I bought it for my toddler but would have felt safe if he were an infant. I actually use a soft mattress pad because it isn't plush

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.

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.

Yes, I think it is a bit too firm for my baby, too. Agreed--firm is necessary for safety--but we have found she seems to sleep more soundly on the (toxic chemical-infused, not-at-all-green) crib mattresses at each of our parents' houses, and those are both much softer. Any ideas for softening it up?

I've only had mine for about two months and I haven't noticed it getting any softer. I knew it was a 'medium' soft when I bought it but it is a little more firm than I had anticipated.

There is no "mattress" per se- it's like a tent bottom. We put a couple of thick blankets to line the bottom for our 2 year old and that was fine. For 3 weeks, and given that you have a 10 month old (it's not recommended to have loose blankets or stuffed toys in bed with children under a year old) honestly I'd get a travel pack n play. They fold up and expand to a small crib size, and have more of a "mattress".

I honestly can't tell you that. However, the support for the mattress is very sturdy, framed and well braced. Unless you had a hefty 2 year old jumping up and down, I can't see that your baby won't be safe in this crib. It is very well made. I have no hesitation at all putting my one year old granddaughter in this crib......it is solidly constructed.

well, its ok if u like firm beds, but u might want to check for a weight limit, cuz i broke mine in the first 2 weeks.
