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.

P.S. The product description says "crib mattress is not included". Product descriptions really are a great help if you will scroll down and read all the info. They have helped me many times to decide on which one, out of several of the same type products, to buy and I always go for the 4 star and above ratings.

Any standard crib mattress should fit. The mattress I got is: 52.5 x 27.5 x 5.5 inches and it fits very well. Based on that the measurement you posted sounds a bit smaller...

This kit includes the DaVinci Twin/Full Size Bed Rails for Kalani, Emily, and Annabelle Cribs. It gives no information about other model conversion cribs.

I'm not sure why, but ours does not fit snuggly at at all. It's very frustrating. I have about a 2 inch gap on both sides of the crib! I rolled up blankets to fill in the gaps, not ideal or really safe at all.

It fits pretty well with our DaVinci Kalani 4-in-1 crib. I don't think there is any sizing problem. Maybe good to also check your crib.

Go around to some mattress shops in your town and try them out. Especially the memory foam and latex ones, and make notes of the ones you like. If you have the names of the models of national brands that you like, you'll be able to give Chuck a better idea of what you like. I personally said pretty much the same as you and probably would have picked an 8 going in cold. I went to a Tempurpedic shop and tried out the mattresses and realized I wanted one just a little bit firmer, so when I corresponded with Chuck I picked a 7, and I'm very happy with it. But you're the only who can decide.

Standard size crib mattress works fine. We have the "moonlight slumber little dreamer dual firmness all foam crib mattress" (from amazon as well). Fits great.

Yes, I think it is a bit too firm for my baby, too. Agreed--firm is necessary for safety--but we have found she seems to sleep more soundly on the (toxic chemical-infused, not-at-all-green) crib mattresses at each of our parents' houses, and those are both much softer. Any ideas for softening it up?

I purchased this for my daughter who is using it on a mini crib. However, I do not think it is DaVinci Kalani, but it fits the one she has very well.

I first looked at this: http://www.amazon.com/SnuggleWool-Lambs-Wool-Crib-28x52/dp/B000H4C6QU/ref=pd_sim_sbs_hg_10?ie=UTF8&refRID=1BYXW7SZ4R4STXAG9323 but decided against it because of the polyester backing. In the end I used an oversized 100% cotton thick plush beach towel over the plastic encasement to cut down on the crinkle and give a little comfort. I laid an organic wool piddle pad over top like this one: http://www.greenmountaindiapers.com/wool-mattress-pads.html Then I put an Ikea 100% cotton fitted crib sheet over top. It has worked out well, very little crinkling, comfy and breathable. Good luck! :)

Hi Minnie, I wonder if you find out (or purchased) the bed frame to convert this crib to a full size bed?... I have the same situation right now, my daughter is excited about getting a bigger bed and I would like to use this crib since I like the design a lot! I searched on Graco's website to find a compatible part that fits the crib (don't take any chance), and found it but haven't ordered it yet. Could you please, tell me if you were able to find the part, and provide more details about it? I wish the specif. would include this as well :( Many thanks in advanced! Yiliam.

Krithika (also my best friend's name :)) we have a StorkCraft Tuscany crib (L x W x H = 54.25 x 33.0 x 43.0) and the mattress fits it well (we have a mattress topper). Considering that mattress dimensions are L x W x H = 51.7 x 27.2 x 6 inches (Graco Lauren dimensions L x W x H = 55.5 x 29.75 x 43.5) it seems that it might fit well, but could be a little snug along the length. Hope this helps.All the best.

I have had 2 other mattresses that were a little smaller than the one recommended for this bed, but the previous mattresses fit the same in both of my cribs. So this crib will support other mattresses other than the one recommended for it. But the recommended mattress fits better in this crib and in my other crib as well. I do think it is a little bigger than most, but it also has less of a gap between mattress and crib sides.

You will need a crib mattress for that one, and this is a mattress for a pack n play. They are much different in size. On a side note... I have the same crib for my baby who just turned one and the crib is missing an excessive amount of finish on the inside of the crib. The finish is not durable at all. But I do love the crib and would buy it again.

We tried two different mattresses, standard crib size. After the second one sagged immediately we looked at the support under the mattress, and it had bent so any mattress is going to sag.I wouldn't recommend you buy this crib! We are going to return it.
