The Graco crib mattress is fantastic, my little one really enjoys it. It provides the perfect balance of comfort and support for my baby, allowing them to sleep soundly through the night. The Graco crib mattress is also made with high-quality materials that are safe and durable, giving me peace of mind knowing that my child is sleeping on a reliable surface. Overall, I highly recommend the Graco crib mattress to any parent looking for a top-notch sleeping solution for their little one.

I dread writing this post, but find it necessary to warn other moms (or others who do the laundry), as well as solicit any advice or solutions, about a very drawn out (and continuing) textile nightmare. Months ago, my oldest daughter complained about incredibly itchiness all over her body. Coming from a family of food allergy prone kids and adults alike, I immediately assumed it was her diet, as we have had food allergy problems before. We did an immediate food withdrawal of a few foods, started her on Zyrtec and Benadryl It didn't get better over time. It was a 24 hour itchiness that affected her entire morning, noon, and night. Slowly, we believed it not from an internal cause, but an external cause. Her clothes. She seemed much better when she ran around the house in her birthday suit. Also, when both my husband and I noticed the intense itchiness when we put on certain clothes, we were certain. Obviously, we thought it was the detergent (which for the past 2 1/2 years had caused no problems). Maybe it was a bad batch, or a new formula? We switched to another free and clear brand. No change. I washed with only baking soda. No change. Eventually, I only used hot water washes. No change. Next, I thought it was the washer itself. It was one of those new water saver washer that didn't have a middle agitator. Instead, it sprayed out water through holes and swirled it around. While we had had no problems from the first few months, maybe it was not cleaning as well as it should and left residues or allergens behind. One day, my husband noticed a sparkly material all over a pair of black flannel pants. "What's this???" It looked like residue from an ugly tinsel Christmas sweater...little innocent sparkly specks settled in the fibers, which were visible only on dark clothes. Fast forward many weeks and itchy loads later. After many more trials, errors, and failures, all while in the midst of potty training (which, at one point, made me think it was residue poo poo infecting our clothes), my daughter one time peed a gallon of urine all over her mattress. For the second time since we had purchased it months ago, I stripped the Graco foam mattress of its three layers, tossed those sheets in the wash, vinegared the foam, rubbed it clean, and set it out to dry. The load with the layers was washed, tumbled dry, and tossed in the living room floor to fold. My husband dutifully folded the mountains of clothes when suddenly, he exclaimed, "It's the mattress cover!!!" We found out that one of the layers (sandwiched between the top layer and waterproof layer) was a flame retardant fiberglass layer. The little sparkles were none other than fiberglass. These little monsters had clung tenaciously to our clothes, sheets, towels, jackets, rags...you name it, they flocked and set up house. They are hard to see on light clothing. So, when you put on an undershirt, it's hard to notice at first. Eventually, the fiberglass interact with your skin, and cause an intense itchiness. Some of the pieces, since they are glass, burrows into your skin so that you are terribly itchy even after you remove the clothes. Thus, the culprit. To our great dismay, we had been infected every article of clothing that we had ever washed since the that fiberglass sheet had been introduced into our washer and dryer. The glass clung to the washing bowl...to the crevices of the dryer...to the little holes and nooks and crannies. And every time an unaffected piece of clothing entered into the washer, or was washed and dried with an affected piece of clothing...it also became an enemy too. For the past two weeks, we have slowly discovered the dreadful reality that everything we suspected had every been washed was now a carrier. We are also in the process of replacing our 6 month new washer and dryer, as well as every article of suspected clothing. It has been more difficult than I thought. Stores no longer carry warm clothes as the spring arrivals come. I find it extremely sad to throw away my favorite puffer jacket from Old Navy...or all my comfortable pants that simply fit my short frame when most pants drag the floor like wedding dress trains. What is most saddening is seeing my daughter's body flaring up with rashes and itches...and trying to do a massive clothes purge, but having nothing but spring clothes to replace it. Someone said to me, "Wow, you get a new wardrobe for your family!" Personally, I would rather cut fat off of chicken meat than go clothes shopping. Does this seem extreme? Honestly, I feel it is...but after trying many techniques to rid us of this fiberglass (vacuums, lint rollers, packing tape, rubber brushes, 8 rewashes of the same load, and many many failed attempts that have led to our affected clothes infecting our unaffected clothes), my husband and I have argued and collaborated that this is the only solution to isolate the problem. We called Graco, and though they are familiar with this occurence, skirted the problem and blamed the consumer. "Didn't you read the warning sign?" There is no warning sign by the way. "We aren't responsible. We only license it."

The mattress arrived timely and the box was easy to manage. It fit perfectly on the toddler bed. It was an easy transition from the crib to the bed for the child. I rated it as good because I haven't had it long enough to determine how it will stand up over time. Very pleased with it.

After 4 days the mattress didn't fluff in some places. On one side it's 3-4 inches thick, on the other side about an inch thick, then a random place on the center completely flat.. also the fore retardant cover underneath the main cover is full of fiberglass so unless you want to itch and have a mess, do not unzip the top cover. Is fiberglass even safe for a baby bed? Now we have to take the mattress and box back to our local Walmart since it's obviously not going back in the box it came out of compressed. Complete wast of time and money.

My daughter likes to jump on her mattress and cracked the top to the plastic mattress she had before. We search for a mattress for a toddler that didn’t have that plastic coating due to that. This mattress is perfect. It is fluffy and soft and durable it won’t crack when she jumps on 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.

Mattress did not expand all the way . Only one side expanded, directions say to help it expand by fluffing it like a pillow but that didn't help . Been a week and still just one side is expanded . Better off just getting a regular mattress to avoid the hit and miss if it's going to expand completely or not .

It comes with a "fire safe" cover. Do not use it! It had fiberglass-like fibers that contaminated our sheets, carpeting and caused my daughter a cough that would never go away (until we switched mattresses). The fibers were nearly invisible, but sparkle in bright light. I only noticed them when we decided her sleep issues might be linked to this mattress. So we took it off and had it on the floor for reading time. We all got incredible itchy. We looked at the blankets that were on the mattress with a bright light after noticing some twinkly fibers floating in the air, and they were covered with these super thin fibers! They would connect like a web. I couldn't even grab them with tweezers. I had to use a lint roller to remove the fibers before and after multiple washes and a carpet cleaning. Super creepy!! I kept the cover as proof, it looks like a hedgehog, with prickly little fibers protruding out. They don't just stay put, they actually move through sheets and fabric. In addition, the mattress never flattened out completely because the crib sheets are so tight, they pulled it into an arc and it never went fully flat even though I followed instructions and let it settle for a few days. I had higher expectations from this brand since we trusted them for so many other products.

I have had to buy several mattresses for my my kids and they all end in ruin either from the inner springs poking the kids or the outer cover getting ripped open from toddles jumping in the crib. This not only is affordable but has no springs and comes with a removable soft cottony cover that has a plastic lining underneath so you don't have to buy a separate protective cover for this comfy bed. I had purchased one to test it on my 1 1/2 yo and will get another for 5yo!

Bought this for my 11 month old after going through 3 inner springs. I didn't even know this existed. I read reviews and foam came in as being the best. Even though this is low on the price scale I took a chance. I was shocked how small it was but after reading instructions I realized it was vacuumed sealed so after plastic comes off it comes to life. Has a nice zip cover, not to heavy but not to light. My 16 month old grand daughter even naps on it when I have her. I even sent one as a gift and they like it so well, they are buying one for their other child.
