We have used the same (extra firm) mattress since G started sleeping in his own bed. We're having some problems getting him to stay in his bed through the night and I think part of the problem is his mattress is really firm and is uncomfortable. Usually he comes into our bed at some point in the night and falls asleep immediately. I can usually get him to nap alone in my bed easier than I can get him to in his bed.
Does anyone have a rec for a softer, more comfortable toddler bed mattress?
Re: toddler mattress rec?
I don't think BRU carries our baby mattress anymore, but we got a Serta - 200? coil? It was around $100. I remember not wanting to get the popular Colgate mattress at Baby's 1st furniture at the time b/c it felt SO hard! I got the softer Serta one (even though there was big hype to get a firm mattress so a baby wouldn't smother in it)- so I would recommend something like that. DS has never had problems STTN. (who knows if it's related to the mattress, but it couldn't hurt!)
