How durable is this mattress? Is it breathable? Also, does it get hot while you sleep? (I am thinking of buying it to co-sleep with my 8 month old baby for the next 2-3 years. The baby's head would be directly on the mattress, without a pillow).

I bought this for a camp bed and it is satisfactory for that. I bought a 3 inch memory foam topper for it which improved the comfort. For myself, I don't think that it would be satisfactory for sleeping on every night year round. I needed a mattress that I could fold up to store, so this fit the bill. I have a friend who bought a LUCID by LinenSpa 10" Firm Memory Foam Mattress 25-Year Warranty ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00478U768/ref=twister_dp_update?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and he loves it. He says that it doesn't heat up and he has been sleeping on it for 3 years now (2 people). I didn't get this because of the storage issue and that it would spend the winter in an unheated space...hope that this helps.

We live in AZ and I haven't noticed any issues with my 2 year old sweating while sleeping. In my opinion, this mattress cover provides extra cushiness and comfort. We also have the naturepedic mattress you mentioned. I would recommend this mattress cover. We have been very satisfied.

A family members baby has been sleeping on it since she first came home and she is just fine. My 9 mo old sleeps on it every night since she was 7 mo old, I highly recommend it. Her head doesn't sink into the mattress but it's definitely not as firm as regular baby mattresses

I've had mine for a couple months now. Sharing my bed are myself, my husband, and our toddler. (Don't judge me.) We all roll around quite a bit in our sleep, and I wash it about once a week, and have not yet noticed any tears, rips, loose threads, or pulled places. For as cheap as it is, it's holding up remarkably well.

This mattress does not get hot or warm I think it has nice feel to it.One thing I have to say I bought it in fall used it throughout winter so I can not say how does it feel in the summer but it feels cool to the touch. Very breathable and comfortable and I dont even have a box spring.

The mattress pad for the bassinet is very thin, which is fine for a newborn. We never used the bassinet attached to the bed, instead we kept all four sides up and used it as a traditional bassinet just right next to the bed. I was always afraid I would toss some covers on my baby while I slept ( I get really hot and restless in the southern summer nigths down here). We also liked keeping it unattached from our bed so we could roll it around the house and use it for naps when he was a newborn. That way I could do laundry and he could be napping nearby.

I have had it for several months. I love it. I got the 8 inch mattresses for my kids over a year ago and they love it. No issues. Yes I thought it was too good to be true too, but so far they have been wonderful. It is not a soft mattress. I was a little surprised how firm it was. I prefer it that way. It takes a minute or two to conform. It does get a bit softer over time, but no lumps or dents.

I'm afraid I have to disagree with the others. A 115 lbs person used the twin version of this mattress for about 3 years though she should have trashed it long before due to poor sleep. It developed a permanent depression in the middle. Curious, I pulled the thing apart before disposing it. The "cool" temperature of the mattress is achieved by fluted foam rows in the non memory foam section, which weaken over time - flattening. The memory foam layer lost it's bounce and flattened in the middle even worse. Maybe we just got a faulty unit, but I'd only consider this mattress for a child or guest room.

Yes, I've been using it with my daughter and I just had her. And my son started using his at 7 months. But both my children have this mattress and I love it.

I had this mattress for 2yrs & it worked great until I became pregnant. Then the mattress felt too soft & not enough support. My body changed permanently after birth so I had to buy the tempurpedic (the firmest model) which is much more comfortable & therefore worth the price. Guess it just depends on how much support you need.

I saw no reason to get a dual firmness mattress. I figured if the only thing your baby has ever slept on is a firm mattress, they won't suddenly decide they want a softer mattress when they're a toddler, so why bother. My daughter has slept completely comfortably on this for the past 5 months (she's now 11 months) and don't forsee any need to switch to something softer in the future.

no, this is a great mattress. We first put our baby on it a 6 months (now 8) he loved it from the start, has a nice "spring" to it, really happy with the quality and price also. We rotate it every couple of weeks, over all couldn't be happier!

We still really love it. Very comfortable, affordable and has provided us with many wonderful nights of sleep. The only small detail is that the side my husband (who is 250 plus pounds) sleeps on dips quite a bit while my side dips much less leaving us with one huge lump running right down the middle. We slept on it the first night that it unfolded and I think that may have something to do with it. I think I read somewhere that we slept on it too soon. In any case it is still a great buy and I would highly recommend this amazing bed-in-a-box!

We have had this mattress for about 7 months. It has definitely became a bit softer. I think walking around on it helps, and we have done that a few times. Overall we are really happy with it, and we like how it's on the firm side.

my 18 month old slept more than comfortably in it. he just turned 2 and is now forward facing, still just as comfortable as ever. this seat is huge, but awesome.

I have been sleeping on an air mattress for years (I will never go back to a regular mattress). Some of them get holes (I have a cat), some have lasted only a month or two, I even got one that leaked when I got it. On average I have to replace a good mattress about once a year. This is one of the best I've seen, but I've only had it a couple of months, we'll see.
