Hi Tootsie, we got this crib and the Naturepedic organic 150 mattress. Fits well!The Kalani's metal support is one solid piece & therefore cannot sag in the center.

I totally had trouble finding sheets to fit!! Since it's so much thicker than cheapo mattresses, it was a challenge. What I found worked GREAT were the Circo brand jersey knit sheets from Target. They are so stretchy (and soft!) and fit great. I also have one Pottery Barn sheet that was given to us that happens to work well, and a Dr. Seuss flannel sheet found on Amazon.com that was labeled "deep pockets." These all work well - Id recommend the Circo jersey knit or any that say they are deep pocket - these tend to be more expensive higher quality sheets. They will all say they fit "standard" crib mattresses, so the dimensions won't do much good - stretchier sheets fit much better than standard woven sheets. Good luck! It was worth the search in order to have the mattress!

honestly, I have not found any sheets that fit. I've been using regular size crib sheets, they are big but I just try to tuck most of it under. I got a waterproof mattress cover that is from made from the same company and it fits well. I found it on overstock, searching the company's name. They have sheets for it as well but I haven't tried them.

Check out http://www.davincibaby.com/willow-natural-coconut-palm-crib-mattress and hover your mouse over the 'Meets Federal Flammability Standard CFR-1633'. They explain that the mattress does not contain any flame retardant materials, but use a thin layer of cotton-like material (possibly with Dupont chemicals) that do not contact the user and they use Kevlar thread to make the mattress, which is flame resistant. I did notice a slight odor when I removed it from the plastic wrapper, but aired it for several months before baby arrived and the slight smell was long gone. Good luck with your purchase- we have just flipped this one to the toddler side and I am still very happy with the purchase.

Any typical size crib mattress. We have this crib and LOVE it! I would do the set, you can order the mattress, the crib, and a changing pad together. Email me if you have any more questions about the crib! Caseyspeaker@gmail.com It did take a long time to put together but totally worth it!

Sounds like a standard (or very close to standard) size crib mattress. Should fit fine. There is a lot of elastic in the bottom portion. I'd go for it. We LOVE ours!!

We have the naturepedic crib mattress in the cradle. It is not custom made. Left it in there for a couple of weeks before the birth of our baby and it settled into the shape of the cradle. Sure it is not a perfect fit but it is fine and works. No complaints from our baby yet.

Zarett, what did you end up doing about the mattress? I went ahead and purchased this mattress and really don't feel safe about how it fits the bassinet. I'm thinking on ordering a custom made mattress from Naturepedic instead. Thanks!

I used my crib mattress from my old.crib and it fits just fine. So I would say standard crib mattress is fine.

I have the Westwood Stratton Convertible Crib. This mattress fits very snugly in it. I do feel like I have to "squeeze" the mattress in just a little bit, but it fits well and you won't find any gap (except just a little at the corners, after all, who makes exactly square corner mattress!) between the mattress and the crib, which is a good thing.

A standard crib mattress works great we bought the Sealy Cotton Bliss 2-Stage Organic Crib Mattress and like it.

I'm glad this was brought up. I haven't bought one yet either however I would imagine it would be wise to buy one now and not wait until its needed in case the crib is discontinued over the years...

off topic a bit, but we were looking at a sleep number bed because our mattress was sagging somewhat and they claim they don't sag. Yet, I've read other reviews besides yours that after some time, they lose pressure in the hip area and then the user has to raise the sleep number setting and eventually it's at 100 and still not supporting. We liked the beds in the showroom, but this was a concern. Also that it seemed a bit high maintenance- the pumps and adjustments and their sliding scale warranty policy. thanks!

We used a thicker mattress for comfort, but once the baby got more active the thicker mattress allowed her to stand a little taller in the crib. We simply dropped the mattress frame down further. We've not experienced any further issues, still love this crib. I hope that helps you!
