Pack and play mattress?

vababy

Has anyone used these before? My lo spends a lot of time at her grandmas house and she sleeps in a pack and play. She is 14 months old and lately she's been waking up while she is there. I thought a mattress would help. She hasn't had any issues before. Thanks !

we bought one off of amazon. I forgot exactly which one but I believe it was a 3" and roughly around $30. We don't travel without it. She slept like crap on the cardboard mattress. We do travel since none of our parents live close by so it's been money very well spent for us. Makes the PNP a viable bed option for us that she can comfortably sleep in!

No, but we used Carter's quilted pack n play sheets. They added just enough cushion for our DD to sleep wonderfully in the PNP. With the regular thin PNP sheets, we didn't stand a chance.

Thanks!

Our nephew started not sleeping well in his PnP around a year old so we put down a folded blanket and he's good to go.

Dream on Me makes a great pnp mattress, it's almost as thick as a crib mattress and my LO seems very comfortable on it.

We have this one too. Totally worth the $30 on amazon. Read reviews carefully to make sure to get one that will fit your specific PNP. We have a graco and the mattress we got is a perfect snug fit.

I never knew these existed..... thank you guys, i'm definitely going to buy one!  I've been laying blankets down at the bottom for quite some time.

We have the Dream on Me mattress as well, read the description and reviews to make sure it will fit well with your PnP.  Definitely makes the PnP infinitely more comfortable for the bigger baby.  I tried a colgate one as well and I liked the feel and the fit of the Dream on me much better.
