The mattress expanded as it should, didn't have any problems. It comes with a flimsy slip cover to go over the foam, a fire-resistant cover, and a mattress protector. Three separate covers all with zippers. I washed all the covers before putting in my daughters bedroom. I couldn't tell which cover it was, not the protector, but one of them sheds fibers quite significantly. My couch is covered! and sparkles from all the fibers (I assume polyester, but not 100% sure as the fire resistant one doesn't have a label on it to state what it is made of). Aside from that, the smell of chemicals that the foam is made of is STRONG! I let it sit for a week before putting it in her room, I thought the smell went away for the most part, but it's still bad enough to notice when I walk in her room. The quality of the mattress is great. I even feel she is sleeping better as opposed to the one we did have. I just wish the smell would go away faster (its been 3 weeks, its getting better but still there).

We bought this mattress based on the stellar reviews and will not be using it. We opened the mattress from the box and let it sit out for 3 days prior to placing in the crib. There's a distinct smell, almost potent, that I wasn't expecting for a Green Guard Certified product. It's been out for over 2 weeks and the smell is still very strong, rubbing off onto my baby's skin each morning. It's deep within the mattress and even putting it outside for a few hours a day doesn't get rid of it. I was also disappointed in how soft this mattress is. I thought it would be two sided based on 'crib and toddler' mattress but it is not. I ended up buying another mattress as I simply do not trust this mattress for my baby.

It is super lightweight. I read a lot of their review before I bought them. They said this is safe for the baby (the baby can breathe). Soft. After 2 years, the quality is still good. The price is cheaper than the other brands, too. I just bought the second mattress. As you see in my picture, it looks light and small. Easy to buy, easy to bring it home!

if I could buy this in a size appropriate for myself I would. it's thick it's plush its extremely comfortable worth every penny easy to clean light weight I've laid with my son to put him to sleep(hard to not fall asleep myself it's so cozy) I can get off with out the weight disrupting him I can not recommend this enough just absolutely amazing

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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Graco Premium Foam Crib & Toddler Mattress-in-a-Box is the best mattress my child has had yet. It comes vacuum packed and rolled into a small box approximately 3ft x 1ft or so, so it easily fits into any small car if you are not able to ship it to your home and need to pick up in store instead. No large mattress trying to squish into a car yay! Its super light and easy to maneuver and easy to "assemble" too. Simply remove from packaging and let unfold on floor. Mine said to put on the first protective covering but it came already on the mattress so that saved me a step. Then there is a second zippered covering you have to put on. This one was a little trickier, as it didn't seem to have all the corners where needed, and it zipped up on the long side of the mattress instead of the bottom short side (which was portrayed in the instructions). This threw me off a but but it didn't fit any other way so I just went with what I could. Last but not least you need to leave it out for 48 hours to expand to its full potential,and it says to "fluff" if needed. However, after 24 hours mine seemed to have expanded to full capacity and was ready for use. That was mine though and others may take a little longer, so if you need this mattress for use for a certain time frame I recommend buying it a few days before you need to use it so it can expand correctly. Other than that I have had no issues. The material on the outside (washable) covering is a little coarse and really need to have a nice crib sheet over it. I do worry a bit when it comes to having young babies on this mattress, as I know most baby crib mattresses are a little on the harder side to prevent smothering in a young child. While this foam mattress is no where near as soft and squishy as a typical memory foam mattress, it is still much softer than the old crib mattress we had before. But my toddler loves it, and I think the tad bit of more soft it gives her has really helped her sleeping habits and waking up in the middle of the night. My child really likes this mattress and I am sure your child will too.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So being the grandma I am I wanted another bed for my grandkids. I have twin beds right now for them but I have three grandkids so my granddaughter sleeps on the floor. I seen this Graco Premium Crib and Toddler Bed Mattress and thought how great would that be for my granddaughter. And I could easily store it under the twin bed when not in use, kind of like a trundle bed. I was wondering how thick and how nice a bed in a box was going to be. I must admit I was very impressed. It says wait 48 hours for it to completely conform to it shape. At first it wasn't that thick but when the time was up it is now five inches thick, very impressed! The mattress size is 28" x 51" x 5". It comes with a nice removable and washable mattress cover but I don't believe it is water proof so I would recommend getting a water proof mattress cover to protect the foam mattress. In their defense it states it has a water resistant inner lining. It is a memory like foam mattress. It is pretty firm but yet has a little give to it. It is comfortable. My granddaughter is so happy now because she now has her own bed when she come to stay with grandma. Very happy and would recommend.

I ordered this product offline and picked it up at my local Walmart. The package was very light and small enough to fit in my back seat. Only complaint I had when I got home was that it was very difficult to get the fire proof cover on; I almost ripped it. Once I finally got it on it was fine. You have to allow 48 hours for it to fully inflate. The mattress is soft but firm and is a perfect size.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am blessed to have received this mattress as part of the Storkcraft Nursery Giveway and I really like it. It came rolled up in a box and took 3 days to expand to size. It is lightweight and my 15 month old seems to love it. It is probably just a coincidence, but she has been sleeping in later since I bought it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have always liked Graco products and when we saw this crib and toddler bed foam mattress thought we would give it a try. I always found regular crib mattresses unwieldy, difficult to manage. This foam mattress is much easier to remove, replace, and turn over. It is very lightweight yet offers substantial support for your baby or toddlers sleeping comfort. We purchased a similar foam mattress for a youth bed a year ago for a two year old, and I can tell you both mom and dad find it pretty comfortable! So making this choice for a six month old little girl was easy. This Graco mattress is shipped with a fire-resistant mattress cover which along with the mattress cover offers an additional layer between the foam and your child. And it’s somewhat like terry-cloth so not uncomfortable at all. Instructions say it may take 48 hours for the mattress, which is shipped compressed and rolled, to fully rise to shape. But don’t be surprised if it takes a bit longer, and needs a little “help”. Our experience has been that the occasional overnight accident cleans up very nicely and the light weight of the mattress and easy handling makes getting all the covers off, washed, and back on relatively painless. Sure wish they had these when I was growing up!
