Safety 1st Heavenly Dreams Baby Crib & Toddler Bed Mattress, Waterproof Cover, Firm, Fits Standard Size Cribs & Toddler Beds, Blue

I opened the package when it arrived and was extremely surprised by how substantial this crib mattress felt. I read the great reviews and figured it must be pretty good to get all those reviews, so I was expecting a good mattress, still when my husband and I opened the box I was pleased to find a thick mattress that looks like a REAL mattress, not just a piece of foam. I said, "Wow, you can see how this mattress will work with our crib to be a toddler bed when the baby is older!" I felt so pleased, because we got this at such an affordable price, and it will do double duty with our convertible crib, so we can use it for the next few years to come. I can easily see our tiny baby, growing into a toddler and still sleeping on this mattress at 4 years old. The reviews said it stood up to years of use, and it certainly looks solid. So I was very happy with my purchase. Also, it feels like it would be comfortable to sleep on, yet it's safely firm (a baby mattress must be firm, not too soft, to reduce risk of SIDS). I also like the waterproof covering which saved me more money (I was going to purchase a separate mattress cover as you usually have to, to protect the mattress from stains due to the likelihood of spills). So, so far so good, but I'll update my review after our baby arrives and sleeps in it!PS - update, we put our crib together (it was a Stork craft model) and the mattress is a perfect, snug fit, just like the other reviewers said it was, so we feel very good about this mattress, no worries about gaps.

FINAL UPDATE: 3/21/2015Hey everybody! I just wanted to provide another (and likely the last) update to the ongoing mattress review. We upgraded to a big girl bed months ago, however, the mattress was still in great shape, so I donated it to a friends who were expecting a "surprise" baby. Well, said baby caught a viral bug and got sick in the crib. Today, I got a call from the mom RAVING about how resilient the mattress was. She cleaned with clorox spray and that was it. No stains, no odor, no nothing. I still love this mattress and think it will be one of your wises baby investments. I want to thank everyone for all of the comments, funny emails and questions! I welcome anymore anytime. Good luck with the kids! Six year olds are totally cray-cray, BTW ;)UPDATE: 2/3/2014Hi everyone! We just converted the crib to a toddler bed last week for a very sneaky and clever 27 month old. We still use this same mattress and we still adore it. Sheets are the same, blankets are the same, only now she can come and go out of bed as she pleases. No worries...her room has been "sweeped" for dangers and there is an additional baby gate at the door to keep Houdini safely inside. If anyone wants to check out my blog, it's loaded with this kind of thing plus a ton of other helpful (and humorous!) stories, how tos, reviews and how not tos! If you like it, please share with your friends as well as your internet friends...Thanks so much!! [...]UPDATE: 5/30/13This mattress is still AHHH-MAZING!! I say this because it has retained it's shape and form beautifully and if baby's diaper leaks overnight (and they will as they get bigger!) you can easily clean the mess. We use a waterproof mattress pad, but still, when everything is in the wash, I still give it a good wipe down. Baby loves it and she's 20 months now. One thing i really appreciate about it and you may not care about this, but since there are no springs, she has never had the urge to try and jump up and down on it and escape the crib.Also, some of you have asked about the size of the mattress and it is at least average crib mattress size, if not longer. I am paranoid by design and I never had one unsafe thought or experience with this mattress. I suppose if you are using an older crib or a HUGE one, you may have minor issues, but we use a solid wood crib to full size bed convertible type ($$!...don't even get me started on the cost of a good heirloom crib!), and nada...no problems.Feel free to contact me here with any questions. I was happy to see that so many people enjoyed my original review and I am more than happy to answer any questions- big or small- that you may have. I love this mattress more now then I did nearly two years ago and I am super finicky. For the price, you simply can't lose.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________I ordered this mattress 2 days ago and it was on my doorstep this afternoon. I have to say that I am floored by the quality. This is for our second daughter (on her way) and our oldest used a mattress 2x this price and when I compared them side by side, I was blown away.Here's why:1. It's a dense, high quality memory foam with a waterproof cover on it (removable)2. Contrary to what other reviewers say, it's big; as a matter of fact, it's a good 1.5" longer than our brand name more expensive mattress that pales in comparison. The old one is like sitting on a series of crunchy springs and the new one is like sitting on a tempur-pedic with a non-crunchy waterproof cover.I did a lot of anal retentive research in this purchase and am shocked that this is the real price for this mattress. Don't hesitate on this one. It feels and looks very high end. You'll be glad I did all the psychotic research for you in advance.

A lot of crib mattresses are water-proof or come with a water-resistant cover, and based on the fact that our son hated the waterproof bassinet mattress we originally tried to use, I was afraid he wouldn't like this one. Thank goodness, he sleeps like a dream on it! The mattress does not make a lot of noise when setting him down on it (the bassinet mattress made a crinkling sound because of the waterproof lining), it is nice and firm, super light-weight, and easy to put fitted sheets on.We purchased this with a DaVinci Kalani 4-in-1 convertible crib, and I would note that it is just a little bit too long for the crib, maybe a half an inch, or even just a quarter of an inch. Nothing that would put the baby at risk - the top of the mattress stays perfectly flat. However, the mattress is so snug with this particular crib that it bunches up in the bottom corners where the metal mattress supports are. I don't know yet, but I could see this potentially leading to some tearing in these areas in the future, since there is additional stress on the lining. However, this is not the mattress's fault, and I actually love the fact that the mattress fits so snugly in the crib that there is absolutely no room between the mattress and the crib for our son to get caught in. And since this mattress is one of the least expensive out there, if we end up having to buy a new one in the future, I can live with that.Overall, seems like a really good mattress for the price. Will update in the future on how well it lasts.

I like lists. I shall review in a list format to keep things simple.1. This mattress is very firm, which is exactly what I was looking for.2. It fits perfectly in the crib. Its such a perfect fit, I will probably have to take the mattress out of the crib to put sheets on it, there's no room on any of the sides.3. My cat jumped in the crib the other day and drooled on the mattress. It really is waterproof.4. Its not that loud, obnoxious kind of waterproof. I'm thinking that once I put sheets on it, there will be little to no noise.5. The day that my cat jumped in there, I decided the mattress was fairly durable. My cat has all her claws and was startled as she jumped out. No punctures or scratches were left behind.6. My 4 star rating is not the mattresses fault. It's sort of mine and sort of Amazon's. When I bought this mattress, it was $85. It was sold by someone other than Amazon. I kept trying to find the same mattress but sold by Amazon and couldn't. So now I'm disgruntled because I paid $30 more than I needed to and spent time stressing about whether it would get here in time because I also didn't get a tracking number. So yeah, my fault for ordering anyway, Amazon's for not letting me see that they sold the same thing for cheaper.

The Safety 1st Heavenly Dreams mattress is an incredible value for the money, and we couldn't be more thrilled with it. It's not just worth it as a value purchase; I know not everyone is on the same budget as everyone else, but you don't want to go into buying a product like this solely because the cost is low. It's a product that involves the health, safety, and comfort of your child which is something that is worth the consideration at any price. We have two cribs; one at our own house, on which we have a Moonlight Slumber foam mattress that cost us in the neighborhood of $180 (purchased from Amazon as well). The Moonlight Slumber mattress is incredible and we have had no problems whatsoever with it. This Safety 1st mattress was purchased by us to keep at a relatives house for when they watched our child on occasion.Our thoughts were, because this mattress would be used very infrequently, we would just buy a cheaper one and hope for the best. We were incredibly surprised by the quality we received in this product for less than 1/3rd of the cost of the one we used ourselves at home. I would have absolutely no problem recommending this mattress to anyone with a child of any age, from the week they were born on forward. It is firm enough that a newborn can safely use it without undue fear of SIDS risk, but yet just slightly giving enough that it seems like it would be comfortable for the baby. We've been using it for almost a year now as our secondary home for our child and it has performed and held up wonderfully, and my son sleeps great on it.If you're looking for good value in a mattress, this is the one for you. If you're looking for something that appears and feels like it will be safe and comfortable for your child, this is the mattress for you. Highly recommended, and we will be purchasing one of these without hesitation when we have our second child in the future.

I love this mattress I have had it since summer of 2015, my toddler son used it and now my daughter using it in her crib. It has been slept in every night for almost 3 years now. Want to take in the shower? No problem it's water proof!! Here's a photo for y'all! I have scrubbed the whole thing down in the shower numerous of times..Accidents happen.. whether it be due to throw up being all over in the bed, exploded diapers from letting little ones eat or drink too much before bed or whatever.. you name it! Their kids and accidents happen and that means messes for us! This mattress has been through a lot piss, doodoo, puke hell and this thing survived it all! However sometimes it starts to sink from laying in same spot all the time and I just keep flipping it over haha good as new.. it fits perfect on a toddler bed and regular sized cribs. I usually just get a wet wash cloth with soap on it or use lysol and wash cloth. only for big messes have I put it in shower.. not bath ..The shower. No water did not seem to get in at seems.. no I've never used bleach on it I'm not tryna take any chances of messing it up. But yep I'm satisfied. It gets the job done swell haha.. this is what a true baby mattress is made of..why? Because it's water proof as -+&_(, it's cheap and kids gonna mess it up anyways. Forget memory foam! Good luck getting crap out of memory foam and normal non waterproof material unless you doing 2 diaper changes through the night! Or starving and thirsting your kids before bed so their diaper don't leak or burst! Let's say that's not an issue for u. Take heed lest ye fall buddy. Accidents happen! How much effort are willing to put in to keep it clean. Even my husband will clean this mattress it's so easy!! Trust me this might not be your favorite mattress but it's the mattress for you! Just buy it and stop looking for the unicorn mattress.

We purchased this mattress based on the other reviews that said it was slightly longer, and that it seemed great for the money.Our little one has not arrived yet, but I'm glad we bought it.Things I like:- Liquid proof zip-off cover- Fit our Babi Italia Eastside Lifestyle crib PERFECTLY. No gap on the front or back, and I could squeeze one finger between the mattress and crib on either end.- Very light weight. Easy to lift out, take off sheet, replace sheet, and put back in. We felt steel spring mattresses at the baby stores and they were all pretty heavy in comparison.- Nice and firm. Has a decent amount of give, as you would expect from foam, but is definitely still firm enough to make me comfortable with it. We felt steel spring mattresses at baby stores, and while the amount of overall give is similar, the spring mattresses had harder and softer spots, correlating to where the springs were under the pressure. To me this means pressure points on baby.- Our Lambs & Ivy Raspberry Swirl crib set sheets fit perfectly.Things I don't like:Wasn't free. :)Overall I can't imagine what you'd get by spending 2-4x more than this for a mattress. I really can't. Just buy this one and move on to the next baby item on your list.***UPDATE 9/14/2013***Our daughter has been sleeping on this mattress for over a year now. There are no low spots and it seems to be holding up really well. Changing sheets is a BREEZE since it is so light, and the plastic is super easy to clean. Super happy with it.

[[ UPDATED REVIEW - 08-07-2016 ]]So almost 2 years later from my last update, the mattress is STILL going strong. My daughter is now 2.5 years old and she is still using this mattress. We've dropped the mattress down and converted her crib to a toddler bed. We've had no issues with it losing it's support/sagging/having a dip. Structurally, there are still no rips or tears either. I couldn't be happier. I honestly believe this mattress is going to last until we convert her bed to a "big girl" bed.We're so happy with the product, we just purchased a 2nd one for our new addition coming up in November! If the quality is the same as it was 2 years ago, then I shouldn't have any problems![[ UPDATED REVIEW - 08-19-2014 ]]As promised, I am updating the review of this item. My daughter is now 3 days shy of being 6 months old. She was born prematurely in late February & since the day we brought her home, she has been sleeping exclusively in her crib, using this mattress.Based on my past research, I was confident that this mattress was the right choice and I stand behind it 100%. We've been laying our daughter in the same position and it still holds it's shape (no impressions/sagging). I like that it is easy to clean and during each crib sheet change, I wipe it down with either Lysol wipes or a damp cloth & follow it up with some Lysol. Of course, I let it dry before putting my baby back onto it.Another tidbit to add is that I'm using the Angelcare Movement and Sound Monitor, Auqa/White with the mattress and have absolutely zero issues. Movement is detected very well.There's really not much more to add other than I'm 100% satisfied with this product. I still can't believe how much it costs in comparison to the $100+ alternatives. This mattress is well worth the price you pay.[[ ORIGINAL REVIEW ]]My wife and I are expecting next spring, but as most parents do, they go ahead and get their furniture prior to the baby arriving. I've been reading baby books and various parenting forums on how to prepare for your child and my choices/opinions are based on my research. While I can't say whether or not my research is the "best way", it met every guideline I could find on baby mattresses.For references, the crib we purchased was the Delta Bentley S Series 4-in-1 Crib chocolate. Without further ado, here are the reasons why I chose this mattress...PASSES FOAM RESILIENCY:For babies, there are two types of mattresses out there: foam & inner spring. Since the Safety 1st mattress is all foam, there are a few guidelines I read about in regards to baby mattresses. First and foremost is the risk of SIDS. To reduce your chances, the mattress must be FIRM. The softer the mattress, the greater the suffocation/SIDS risk. Mattresses aimed for older children/adults are typically much softer than those of baby mattresses. That's why baby mattresses tend to be on the firmer side. Regardless of thickness, the FIRMER the better. An easy test for resiliency of a foam mattress is to just use your hand. Press on the center of the mattress with your hand and then remove it. Take note of how soft it is and secondly, how quickly it regains the shape. The faster the "impression" recovers, the better. Sleeping babies will make impressions while laying on the mattress and if it's not firm enough, they can't change position and hence will get "stuck" sleeping in that position... which leads to suffocation & SIDS. Perform the same test at the edges as well (babies will start to move around as they get older and may end up on the sides/corners while moving around while sleeping).EASY TO CLEAN/STURDY COVER:The cover (vinyl) is made of hypoallergenic and free of phthalates and lead. It is easy to clean (stain/odor resistant) and tear resistant. Babies will have accidents (leaky diapers) and you want to be able to properly clean the cover to get rid of any bacteria or harmful organisms.FITMENT:Having purchased the crib mentioned prior, I was worried about fitment issues. Based on Babycenter.com, a baby's mattress needs to be snug with no more than 2 fingers of space between the sides and the mattress. Too much space can lead to entrapment hazards and even worse, suffocation of your baby. By my web research on our crib, another owner mentioned that this mattress was a *PERFECT* fit. And so, I bought it knowing that it is the right size for my crib.AMAZON RANK:Of all the mattresses out there, this one is ranked #1 on Amazon. Originally I was going to get Simmons Kids Beautyrest Beginnings Sleepy Whispers Ultra Deluxe 2 n 1 Crib and Toddler Mattress, Neutral just because of the name but after reading both, I decided I could get the Safety first. Currently the average rank for this mattress is 4.5 stars with 649 reviews at the time of this writing. Compare this to 84 reviewers of the Simmons mattress... personally I'd trust the opinions of 500+ more random people.Hope my review helps!

Estoy muy contenta el colchón que compré es de excelente calidad y buen precio.

Firme y de buen tamaño.
