Debating on this mattress, or the Sealy Soybean Foam-Core. Anyone wish they bought the Foam-Core instead?

Dont know the other mattress, but happy with this one although it does show where baby sleeps already only after 6 months use...

I just transitioned my daughter to her crib (using this mattress) a week ago, so it may be too soon for me to speak, but so far so good! I also debated about the foam vs. coil but went with coil based on advice from other moms. This one is firm, appears to be of good quality and is reasonably priced.

I love this one and was impressed by the awards it won. That's why I bought it.

Probably soybean is little better ( just 5%) soybean.. It still has the same problem: baby sinking in the middle of mattress.. And this mattress not gonna stay for 2 years.. So u need to buy another one.. So instead of buying 2-3 times mattresses.. It's better to buy one in babies r us for 250 plus insurance and this mattress will be ok even for next baby! Believe me price matters;)

I ended up just looking up cradle mattresses and bought the one with the best reviews. The one I got had an extra thickness to it but it was two years ago so I can't remember the exact one.

Maybe if you had two. I prefer having two. But my husband is ok with one. I've had mine for a year and my high plush since February and they're both holding up perfectly. Although I do wish I'd gotten another firm because I don't like sinking into my pillow. :)

M. Davidson - thanks for your reply. I am also considering the Naturepedic Organic 150 mattress and glad to hear it fits well.

Zarett, what did you end up doing about the mattress? I went ahead and purchased this mattress and really don't feel safe about how it fits the bassinet. I'm thinking on ordering a custom made mattress from Naturepedic instead. Thanks!

I do use it as a regular mattress with a one inch memory foam topper. It is pretty comfortable, but I only use it at our summer camp so I don't sleep on it for more than a week at a time...it mostly likely depends on how plush you like your mattress and/or how old you are. For about the same amount of money you can buy from Amazon the Linen Spa memory foam mattress which is a real mattress and is 10" thick. I have a friend who bought one three years ago and he really likes that mattress. There is a funny video for this that you can Google which shows a guy unpacking the mattress.

We bought the foam mattress and returned it. It was loud! We spent the few extra bucks and bought the inner spring mattress and our baby sleeps in it with no problems.

To tell the truth I did not even inquire I was so happy to get the mattress, because it was supposedly in direct competition with temperpedic. All of my kids have Temperpedic and they love it. I have never been so disappointed in a mattress before. Never- Never- Never will I ever consider buying a sealy again. Within six months it began to sag. Other people have had this problem as well. All I can say is Good Luck if you decide to buy it.

foam and it is definitely better than a coil mattress. think I will get another one, since they are half of what I paid a few months ago.

I think it is very hard to judge this, for another person. I can tell you this though: I have severe spine problems and have found it impossible to be comfortable,for at least 13 year, since my accident. I have always slept on a firm mattress, because it was recommended by my orthopedist, but didn't feel comfortable. I decided to try the foam topper and can tell you that it has made a big difference in my level of pain. I sleep much better with it, though it doesn't change the level of firmness from the mattress. It just seems to form to my body,which relieves me. You will have to make the judgement about your changing weight and whether it is worth it to experiment. My decision was based on the need for relief and for me the price was worth it, to just try. It is costs a lot less than a whole new mattress, even though $200 + can be also be lot of money,for many of us! I am 73 yrs old and injured. I weigh about 140 lbs. I hope this info is helpful to you.....and best wishes to you and your baby!

thanks a bunch for your reply. I think i'm going to get the bed frame along with a thicker memory foam mattress.

I bought a basic memory foam 8" mattress on amazon, it was the top result and cost me about 80 bucks. I get compliments from guests on the comfort and I just keep a pretty printed twin fitted sheet on the bottom when not in use and it looks great.

I bought a "Genesis Twin Size Foam/Cotton/Polyester Futon Mattress" for the frame. I don't know if it's still available through Amazon. It fits fine, overlapping the sides and top/bottom just a bit, as I want it. I've never tried to fold it back onto itself, and I think it's a bit thick for actually using it that way. But it also seems to me that you wouldn't want a thinner futon or else you might feel the frame through it when you use it in the normal way. That's all I know, since I have no experience beyond this frame and futon. You might also consider adding a foam pad over the futon - it's sooo comfy!!! Like floating on air.

I'm not sure about the Kolcraft/Sealy part but my son and daughter in law say the mattress is great for their child. No regrets.

I bought the Dream on Me 3" foam pack and play mattress for $39.99 at Walmart. It's a good quality mattress and our baby loved sleeping on it. Any standard size pack and play sheet will work. We use the brand Kushies.

I got the amazon mattress. I think they were $150 a peace . Very interesting the way they delivered.. Got flatten out and very comfortable ... For that price my kids are comfortable.

I recently purchased an 11" Brentwood mattress for school. Now, I have only owned the mattress for a few weeks, and have slept on it a total of about 5 times, so I am by no means as experienced with this mattress as others. With that being said, I spent some time in the local mattress stores exploring options because I was also on the fence about the 9" vs 11". What I tended to notice in the store was that the thinner mattresses were slightly firmer than their thicker counterparts. The 11" Brentwood is a medium firm, but a very comfortable sort of firm (i.e. you don't sink into the mattress more than a few inches, but it is really supportive). I imagine that the 9" would be just the slightest bit more firm, which could be great if you like a firmer bed. As for the gel keeping you cool, again I can't speak to much of the 9", but the 11" keeps me cool, which is great because I usually wake up hot in my tempur-pedic at home. Last I looked there was about a $40 difference between the 9" and 11" which is a significant difference for a mattress under $400. Really the decision for me was do I want to pay an extra $40 for 2 inches of foam and a maybe slightly more supportive mattress. I ultimately decided yes, but you (more that likely) will be happy with either.
