Does it have a smooth side? We tried a round "wiggly pillow" and my son hates the spikes.

Yes there is a smooth side! The other side has round bumps that aren't very big.

If does have a smooth side. I don't think it is meant to be sat on though. I do not think it works that well.

I don't remember if it had a smooth side or not, my son would not sit on it even for a minute, so we sent it back.

If u put some slip resistant mats underneath, it doesn't move much side to side. The spikes are barely needed IMO. We have 2" wrestling mats placed at the bottom of the slide and around the perimeter to the side entrance to add extra cushion for falls and to help keep their socks from getting filthy. I have a very large foyer with 20" ceilings and have allowed the kids to set it up inside with the mats a few times on very cold or rainy days when they needed to get rid of their wiggles thru physical play. I place a few mats underneath and surround the perimeter and it barely moves on slippery hardwood floors. If u put some slip resistant mats underneath, it doesn't move much side to side.

The sides are not entirely soft or rigid... For me are a little bit rigid but flexible too. I have it for my 1 year old and havent had any problems, but kids can fall on it, just have to be carefull...

I have 2 of these and have not had that problem at all. One is now being used in a toddler bed and rolling to the edge is still not a problem. And to respond to the other persons comment about comfort- my son is now 3 and able to tell me whether he's comfortable and he still sleeps well on this bed. At this point, he's slept on adult mattresses at grandparents' houses and we've had no problem with this mattress when he comes home. An infant mattress is supposed to be firm and this is but I don't find it to be uncomfortable or excessively hard.

It's firm but not stiff, my son isnt heavy enough to give it the "sinking" effect when laying on it, he is 24lbs 15 months and sleeps well on it, soft and cushy isn't good for their spines at this age so I opted to wait for the super "comfy" you can cover it with a nice fleece baby blanket & get a similar effect (I did this) hope I answered your concern.

My husband sleeps on his right side all the time with his pillow on top of the wedge and it does not bother him. It is not that drastic of a elevation and the wedge is actually really comfortable, not like a hard support. Hope that helps...:)

The mattress is not neatly as firm as my pack n' play. There is no fold in it and it does lay flat. I haven't used it yet though as my 2 month old exclusively sleeps in the incline sleeper attachment right now due to reflux. However her head always falls off the little pillow into the same position and she is developing mild torticollus and a flat spot even though she is only in it about 6 hours through the night. Now that I've noticed I removed the pillow and turn her head the opposite way constantly. I still love this bassinet and recommend it, just make sure your little one changes his position.

I have to say, I often find their heads tilted to the side. I usually roll a blanket and put it on the side of their heads that they tend to sleep on (have twins). For my 3 year old it seems to work better.

Yes it is very smooth. It is also a very handsome kitchen accessory. I used it for fennel seeds. As they turned to powder, the powder did not have anything to cling to and just sank to the bottom.

My foam pillow is firm, not rock hard, but holds up my legs. It is kind of square with a point on one end. I use the flat side up agenst the back of my thighs with my leg from knee down on top of the pillow in order to do leg exercises. I will use it when I get my artificial ankle joint to help circulation. I like mine. No complaints.

We used this bed for the first time last night. We used crib sheets on it, and I never once "heard" the bed when she moved. The material is kinda "peachy" or soft on the side that faces toward your child, so there wasn't any squeakiness to the material.

I've used the old version and it can definitely tip over if kids are playing inside. When we used them for the first time, my kids were so excited that they kept tipping them over, but they quickly accepted they were for sleeping and didn't have any problems while sleeping. I thinking it depends on your kids' temperaments whether or not this is a good purchase for you. I think they're much more convenient than pack n plays.

I would say no. This pillow isn't much different than a regular pillow. Definitely softer and a bit more plush but I don't think it would prevent your head from fling to one side or the other.

No it's not too steep. My grandson was two last summer and had no problem. Just be sure to get the straight slide. Not the one with bumps.

The head does wobble; in spite of that my son sleeps on the chair soundly. Maybe of those neck pillows will help? Buy yes, the chair is much more upright than the britax boulevard, for example.

Yes. We r using a pillow for our 3 yr old. A piece foam would be recommended to avoid sliding

I bought this so long ago. I remember it being very nice and helping with hair tangles. If you mean the inside of the pillow case, it's not as smooth. But yes both sides are the same.
