Is this mattress pad fit for newborns/infants or is it too soft?

Yes. As long as you put a sheet on top this is fine, I would not use this product without a sheet. I have bought these for years and have had zero issues. They keep together for about a year and a half after washing several times a week.

If you or your pediatrician are nervous about SIDS, then yes, it's too soft for infants. Infants, also mostly don't notice so the simpler and firmer the better. Toddlers, like my granddaughter, however, do notice and like the extra fluff. Also, it's very absorbent and better able to contain the higher volume accidents. Washes very well, too.

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

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).

No. It is too soft. It would bottom out. I am not happy with mine. I'm thinking that the next time I add to my review I will lower its rating to a 1. I turned the pad over and it already has low places forming on the new side. I would not recommend the purchase of this pad. I am still sleeping on mine. It is better than nothing on my firm mattress.

We bought a 2" cradle mattress. The pad that came with it was very thin. We have been very happy with it.

Its extremely firm for sids prevention. I wouldn't consider it comfortable but my baby girl sleeps on it just fine. Id rather her be safe than comfortable and she doesnt seem to mind. She's now 4 months.

The mattress is about an inch, I think - smooth but not soft. I would not think there were any risks to infants.

This 2" pad is a good quality...but is too soft to turn over on easily. I would try 1" of the same quality.I am 225 lb.

I would say yes, it is very soft, which is why I returned it. I was looking for something a little firmer. On a firmness level I would rate this a 4-10

It includes a rock hard "pad" that they call a mattress. I folded up a smooth quilt and laid it down over the mattress so baby would have some actual padding to sleep on. I know infants need a firm mattress but this one is practically a board. This bed is over-priced. Go with a traditional bassinet instead. The co-sleeper idea is fine, if you don't toss and turn, or drop your pillow over the side of your bed while sleeping. If you move, or accidently toss your pillow, the movement will move the baby's bed, or worse, your pillow could end up on top of your baby. Not a good idea.

I have 2 of these and have not had that problem at all. One is now being used in a toddler bed and rolling to the edge is still not a problem. And to respond to the other persons comment about comfort- my son is now 3 and able to tell me whether he's comfortable and he still sleeps well on this bed. At this point, he's slept on adult mattresses at grandparents' houses and we've had no problem with this mattress when he comes home. An infant mattress is supposed to be firm and this is but I don't find it to be uncomfortable or excessively hard.

I find crib mattresses are too thick and firm than this ManmaDoo Kids matress. I really like MamaDoo Kids because its firmness is good enough for the baby and fits well in the playpen. I'm not sure if you know that babies should not put in mattresses thicker than 3 inches but this one is 1.5 inches if I remember correctly). Many people may use cribs but we thought it's better to put the baby in the playpen in the first 2 years before we move our baby to the crib. That's the reason why we bought MamaDoo Kids matress and we can use it for our baby's tummy time( day time) and it's easy to fold when we travel. If you use the playpen, maybe you should give this a try. You won't be disappointed. Our baby loves it!

I personally have have used this with both of my children from 0-3 months of age and am very happy with the quality. And yes, it is definatly firm.

I have hard wood floors and I lie the baby on it and it doesnt seem to bother her. About the thickness of the mat its not like a gym pad. Its more like a bed comforter thickness.

I cant comment on your numbers for most others or my own pad, but I know its working for me. The mattress I replaced with the memory foam king was a plush, so Im more inclined towards soft than you. My new mattress was too soft, and this helped a lot.

Not sure since we use this as a changing pad for baby and toddler. It is absorbent, soft, and large wnough for the job. I'd give it a try and if not you're not wasting money because it is a great pad.

Seems pretty soft to me. My 4 and 6 yr old like it better than their toddler bed mattresses.
