Better mattress for pack n play?

Question

Have any of you purchased a “better” mattress for your pack and and play? We have some travel coming up (and hopefully a date night away if I can bring myself to leave baby overnight) but our 5 month old doesn’t sleep great on the thin pack n’play mattress and I’m hoping to get something a little more comfortable for it. If you have any recommendations, I’d appreciate it!

Answer

I guess I am a rebel, I got a pack n play mattress and it has helped her sleep so much better. It is still firm like a crib mattress and I don't see in any way shape or form how it can be dangerous. We just lowered the original pad and it fits right in.

Answer

We have a memory foam mattress topper in our pack n play and our LO sleeps like a dream on it. She doesn't roll over or anything while sleeping. Now it's winter and she wears a sleep slack blanket and she sleeps amazing with it. I think the added cuddle feeling helps also.

Answer

Nope nope nope. Babies need to sleep on firm, flat surfaces. They don’t need “comfy” right now. And like the other user said, it says right on the warning label not to use another mattress.

Answer

Nope. If you read that annoyingly ugly warning sign on the insert, it says "Use ONLY mattress/pad provided by Graco. NEVER add a pillow, comforter or another mattress for padding."
