Is this stiffer like a lap pad or like a piece of cloth? Can a 3 mo old sleep straight on it (on his belly) or would it slide and bunch under him?

not stiff like a lap pad but not thin like a cloth. somewhere in between.it will slide and bunch up if the baby is moving around.

It is a thicker kind of cloth and not large enough to be a blanket. A 3 month old can sleep on it but if he moves around it will slide around and bunch under him.

I use it as a changing pad. It is stiffer, but I think it would bunch up if your child try's to sleep on it and moves a lot like my daughter does. It works great as a take along changing pad! I got the froggy design so the baby also likes looking at it when they get older;)

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 is a heavier piece of cloth - soft not stiff. We use it as a changing pad liner to keep surfaces from getting wet or dirty during changes. This would potentially bunch and move under an active baby.

it's like a thick flannel cloth. it's not very stiff. I would say a 3 month old could sleep directly on it...it's soft enough and it wouldn't bunch up. I have it on my changing pad which i have a cover on and it stays in place well because it's cloth on cloth. hope that helps!

Oh yes, my 5 year old slept comfortably for a few days on this. The fabric, the brown part was soft and I also put a sheet on there, not needed, just for warmth..hope this helps

Yes. We r using a pillow for our 3 yr old. A piece foam would be recommended to avoid sliding

I think it depends on the mattress. If your mattress has a slick, shiny cover, putting baby on that with only a sheet (or a plastic sheet) between feels cold at first and may promote sweating if it doesn't provide enough air circulation. This pad is like a thick layer of dense felt, and - in my personal opinion - seems more comfy than going without it. It's not in any way cushy, though, if that's what you're looking for.

It isn't really that thick of a pad so what I did was I folded a fleece blanket nice and flat on the floor and I placed the Mat over it. My son hated tummy time so I gave this to my friend who's baby loved it. She's 6 months and still uses it, hope this helps!

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.

This is stiffer like a lap pad, but I cut it up to use as a waterproof changing pad cover. If you used it for sleeping, I think it would need to have a fitted sheet put over it, so it didn't move around, as it doesn't have any elastic to keep it in place.

I would be comfortable with my baby sleeping on it belly down. It has some cush but is not thick or soft enough to pose a health risk in my unexpert opinion.

My son didnt like it and he was 7 month's old when we used it. But im not sure why he wouldn't sleep in it. You could always fold up a blanket and put it under the mattress pad.

It is softer and thicker than a pack-n-play bottom, but not so soft that you'd need to worry about it. I always thought the pack-n-plays must feel like lying on a board, so I wanted a thicker and softer mattress because I thought it would be more comfortable for our little guy so I haven't used a firmer mattress. He loves it though and goes right to sleep in it just like he does with his crib at home. This is seriously one of the best purchases we've made. We've traveled all over the world with our guy and it's been super convenient. It's easy to set up and break down (it takes literally 60 seconds) and the zip-up bag it comes in means you can check it when flying too.

Nothing, it is just a thinner piece of memory foam. It is perfect for smaller children, like we are using ours for but i would prefer something thicker for myself.

The pad which comes with the co-sleeper is pretty terrible. It is a hard folding pad -- so not only is it extremely firm, it also has three gaps/grooves. And you can't put a second mattress on top of it or you'll cover up the mesh sides (which are necessary in case your baby rolls over -- to avoid them getting suffocated by the plastic siding). The mattress is a very badly made part, in my opinion.

It lays nearly flat. I've never had my 3 year old nap in it, but he NEVER naps. I have had my small baby nap in it. It also has velcro and material that you can wrap around the front bar to make it like a bassinet. That is what I did.

I didn't experience too much sliding around of the pad. But the cot might be too small for you to sleep comfortably. If you note, the width of the cot is about two feet, which is really a very tight and narrow fit, not at all suitable for a comfortable night's sleep with occasional tossing and turning.

Unfortunately no. As my son started moving around I became concerned about him bumping his head even though he was on this playmat. There is cushion and it is soft, but not thick. I think it's better for soft surface like plush carpets or outside on the grass.

Definitely stiffer. I had mine sleep straight on it until they learned to start grabbing and pulling on it.

It's not plush by any means, but it also isn't a rock. It comes with an infant insert that give it padding when the baby is little, but when they outgrow that there is just the cover between the seat and their butt.
