Is this good for a new born? Looking for a safe mattress that will last awhile.

Yes it is. It is firm, all you need is a mattress pad to make it a bit cushy and a fitted sheet on the top.

It is safe and it is waterproof also. but I still recommend using a mattress pad and crib sheet. Nothing is too good for a precious newborn baby!tthing is

That is how I use it and it was the main reason I bought it. It provides a nice smooth, firm surface for the baby to lay on. When they are young and not mobile, it is perfectly fine to use and should not present a safety issue.

Yes. I highly recommend buying a thicker mattresses. The one that comes with it is doable but I'm a softy and like my baby to be more comfortable. Cradle is beautiful!

Yes, we bought this before the birth of our baby son, who is now 9 months and 3 weeks old and a very big boy (he was 9.5 lbs when born). The mattress is still holding very well; it is still solid and feels firm. We are glad we bought it.

I bought this for my new born. Till 6-8 months , infant feel comfortable sleeping in it. Besides, it highly depends on baby.

No matter what you get, it will probably break down sooner but the mattress is pretty thick and heavy. There are two of us on this mattress which is about 350 pounds combined and we don't have any problems. It's quite comfortable anD supportive.

Hi, we are adopting and need a travel crib for the new born baby until we can fly home. Do you think this would be a good option. We do not want to use the hotel one due to germs and want something clean and safe for the newborn. Thoughts?

It appears to be safe. It was too large for the table that my daughter in law and my son are using for their baby. But it looked and felt soft and comfortable. the size was large, a good point because I expect my grandson to outgrow the ledge which is attached to his crib and which works as a changing table now. The sides were deep, something that is important for a baby who grows and becomes more mobile all of the time.

I would not recommend this mattress. It is not going to hold up over time. We haven't had ours for a year yet and it's dented in some places, very uncomfortable. Was fantastic for about a month.

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

This is a good mattress for an over night stay for a child or for camping. I would not really recommend it for long term use. It is not a very thick mattress so I would not think it would be good for long term use.

A family members baby has been sleeping on it since she first came home and she is just fine. My 9 mo old sleeps on it every night since she was 7 mo old, I highly recommend it. Her head doesn't sink into the mattress but it's definitely not as firm as regular baby mattresses

I wouldn't want to say what heavy is or not but we keep it set up all the time and it's quite good. We have a reoccurring guest (170lbs) who uses it 3-4 days in a row with no complaints. And the kids totally love it because they say the mattress is so comfy. They don't even dent it when they lay on it (90lbs). My husband (220ish) uses it here and there and says it's good but hasn't used it any longer than two nights in a row. If it's transitional or you can't buy a bed right now for someone in the house, I think it's a great option. Way better than an aerobed option -- far better than a couch.

We traveled for over 1.5 months non-stop and 3 weeks non-stop with this crib and we'd fully recommend it. The mattress provided worked really well for us. The sheet you can leave on if you have to dis- and reassemble the crib regularly.

I have had it for several months. I love it. I got the 8 inch mattresses for my kids over a year ago and they love it. No issues. Yes I thought it was too good to be true too, but so far they have been wonderful. It is not a soft mattress. I was a little surprised how firm it was. I prefer it that way. It takes a minute or two to conform. It does get a bit softer over time, but no lumps or dents.

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 had this mattress for 2yrs & it worked great until I became pregnant. Then the mattress felt too soft & not enough support. My body changed permanently after birth so I had to buy the tempurpedic (the firmest model) which is much more comfortable & therefore worth the price. Guess it just depends on how much support you need.
