My son is 17 months and about 25 lbs. We have a Graco PNP and will be going on a week long vacation this summer with hopes that he will sleep in the PNP but I think the mattress that it came with is too hard for him now that he's older and weighs more. I want him to sleep comfortably while we are on vacation. Has anyone tried the mattresses that fit the PNP that are a little thicker?
I'm thinking of one like this:

With DS I got a foam mattress pad at Walmart for $12, and cut it down to fit the PNP. It's easy to travel with, and you can even put multiple layers down to get the thickness you want. Our PNP is a hand-me-down from my sister who had 3 kids so the PNP pad is pretty worn, this really helps cushion it.
I don't think I'd spend $40 on a mattress unless LO slept in the PNP frequently.
