[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am very very pleased with this mattress. I was initially concerned that it would not be as comfortable as the typical mattress for my 2 year old. He is no longer in a crib, but in a toddler bed which requires a crib mattress. The foam mattress is not super soft as I feared but is perfectly firm but has the comfort of a foam mattress. I guess what I'm trying to say is it's not too soft and it's not too firm. I know baby mattresses are supposed to be very firm, but my babies always slept horribly on them. My son sleeps very well on this mattress. He seems to have a tougher time getting up because he's so comfortable, but when he does get up, he is much better rested than before when he was sleeping on the "typical" crib mattress. Needless to say, he is happy with his bed. The only negative I have to say about this crib mattress is when it comes out the package, it stinks. You have to let it set for 48 hours per the instructions, and just know when you let it set...wherever you do so, it will stink up that particular room. It smells like an intense new factory product type smell. That's the best I can describe. It's strong. My son has been sleeping on it for a little over a week now and although the smell has tapered off some, the smell is still present, though it'd be slight. It comes rolled up in a box so in order for it to get to its full size, the instructions say let it stand for 48 hours. I let it set for 24 hours and that did the trick. It also comes with a mattress cover/protector which is nice. Just slip it in and zip it up. Overall, it's a great buy and worth it.

So when I first got the mattress I laid it out and after 48 hours one side still was kind of flat so I read the instructions again and it said may need to fluff like a pillow so I did that and it expanded properly. I didn't get a crib till my baby was 6 months so the first few nights he woke up a lot but after about a week he has been sleeping on it just fine. It's a great mattress and he loves it!

We've been using this for about a month for my 2 year-old son. So far he hasn't complained about it. It is extremely smelly though. It has a very strong chemical smell as soon as you walk into the room. We could barely stand to be in the same part of the house as the mattress when we first got it. A month out and I can still smell it a little on his pjs when he wakes up in the morning as well as his pillowcase. If you buy this, I strongly recommend that you open in the garage and let it sit out there for at least a week before letting your child sleep on it. It does appear to be comfortable. It doesn't have a water proof cover. It is just a large piece of foam that has a zippered fabric cover that you put over top of it.

Its been open for 3 hours and its inflated about 90 ppecent, ive been having my kids jump on it (like a bounce house) for a while and its helping expand it alot. Some corners havent opened up but it hasnt been the full 48 hours. We will see. Still seems better than regular spring matress.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] OK. I have to be honest. I did not get this for a crib. I got this for my 88# Greyhound. Yes. I got this for my dog. As you know, this breed is extremely long legged & it is very difficult AND expensive to find a dog bed that my Greyhound will fit in comfortably. I purchased 2 dog beds. One is already flattened & misshaped. The other one is holding up pretty well. My Greyhound CAN fit in it but eventually will be half on & half off. I consulted with other Greyhound owners who recommended a crib mattress. SO, this mattress is shipped rolled up in plastic. After I unpacked it & read the directions I laid it out. It takes approximately 48 hours for this mattress to expand fully. My Greyhound & another dog both use this bed. It has kept it's shape. My daughter who is an adult laid on it. I laid on it. I wish my own bed mattress was this comfortable. I would recommend this brand mattress. If it can hold up under the weight of an 88# Greyhound, I think it will satisfy any parent looking for a good crib mattress.

The foam was not cut evenly at the factory. The mattress did not expand evenly. Once it had expanded one side was significantly thinner than the other side. This kind of defect reflects very poorly on the manufacturer since their quality control should have caught such an obvious defect.

Just received this mattress today from ordering online and I absolutely love it! Bought it for my son. Assembly was easy! Says 48 hours for it to expand but it only took about 4 hours for mine to expand. The perfect foam mattress! Not those type of loud plastic waterproof cover! More of the lighter weight and less snorting cover. It also come with a fire barrier cover.

The mattress that goes inside this crib flips AMAZING and fits my baby's crib perfectly. Both sides are very soft and smooth, reassuring for my child's skin. So, it will fit your child regardless of sleeping position or activity. It is very sturdy but not too stiff. Rest assured that it won't get awkward when lying on it for a long time like some brands I've used. It's a great crib mattress and I feel like it will last a long time. Easy to clean and universal size makes it easy to buy bed sheets, I don't even have trouble keeping the bed sheets on the mattress. I highly recommend it.

Great mattress for my son. At first one of the corners didnt inflate like it was suppose to. But i read somewhere, its like a pillow you have to “fluff it like a pillow”. And i did that and it completely inflated to where its suppose to be. Fitted sheets fit perfect! Its soft and comfy. It had no smell as others have mentioned. Which is a plus! Overall, this mattress was money well spent! My son will sleep soundly!

I'm not usually a big fan of Graco brand items, but this crib mattress really impressed me. After having our second child, we decided to upgrade mattresses and this had great reviews so we figured we'd try it. For the price, it is a great mattress it is extremely sturdy and we love that it's waterproof and can be switched and used on both sides. We feel like it's safe and breathe able for our daughter who is a tummy sleeper. I would definitely buy this again!
