I held off on buying a bumper because of the SIDS risk. I eventually bought a breathable bumper to keep my son from putting his arms and legs through the crib bars. However, he still constantly banged into the sides of the crib with his head all night. Since he is now nine months old, I decided he could have a real bumper in his crib and purchased this one. This bumper is wonderfully soft and plush. We have a sleigh crib and I was worried it would not fit, but it fit perfectly! The best thing of all is that our son no longer is banging his head into the crib and waking himself up at night. He is getting much better sleep now and I think he actually feels more secure now that he feels more "enclosed." This bumper is great and was a great price (much less than buying a bedding set.) It goes great with my Carter's jersey sheets. I highly recommend it!

My daughter loves to pet this ridiculously soft bumper when she lays in her bed. The ties are sewed securely along the top and bottom. This fabric does not shed little fuzz balls and stays soft and fuzzy. I would highly recommend this high quality product.

I did not originally order bumpers with the crib bedding because of warnings. However, when our little guy started rolling over in his sleep, we started having issues with him getting his arms stuck between the slats (we still swaddle, so luckily no legs were trapped). I asked our pediatrician what to do and he said that since our baby was able to roll and raise/move his head with ease, bumpers (not too poofy!) would be OK. I was still nervous about suffication possibilities, but I didn't want him to hurt his arms or interrupt his great sleep habits either. So I ordered this bumper because we already had the matching changing pad cover and loved the color and fabric on that (the brown is a great, rich chocolate shade). I'm very pleased with how this is made: extremely soft fabric, but not too poofy and plenty of ties to keep things snuggly in place. My only complaint is that the bumper is just thick enough that I cannot get the mattress past the bumper for changing the sheets. This means I have to untie the entire thing every time! It is a real pain...to the point that I removed the bumper one night, which resulted in our little one waking when his arm went between the slats. So I put it back in and am hoping that perhaps the problem will improve when the lower the mattress (will do this when he starts sitting up and then again when he stands) and there is more space between the bottom of the bumper and the top of the mattress. In the end, it is worth the pain since it allows him to sleep comfortably.

I'm so glad I bought this bumper! Easy to clean, stays put, safe and very soft. It doesn't collapse or fold down on itself and the ties are secure. I bought an expensive bumper from Pottery Barn kids for my son last year. I wish I hadn't! This is a much better product, and it looks better too!

This crib bumper is super soft, no doubt about it. It doesn't work with every crib, though. We have the DiVinci Kalani crib--pretty popular, standard crib. The bumper sort of works, but the four corners are too thick to tie the bumper around. If the ties were a little longer it wouldn't be a problem. As it stands I have the ties double knotted with little tie to spare rather than in a quick-release bow. Not a huge deal, but annoying.
Also, after a few washes this bumper gets really soft. By that I mean that it loses any structure. So, instead of being able to sort of stand upright, it flops forward between each tie. Again, this doesn't prevent it from being usable, it just makes it less than great to me. I just don't think that it's worth the retail price.

I didn't put a bumper in my son's crib because of the recommendation regarding SIDS. But at 7 months he started rolling around so much in his sleep and would jam his head up against the sides of the crib and sometimes wake himself up. Since SIDS is less of a risk at this point I decided to give this a try. He loves it. He seems to like feeling enclosed more--judging by the fact that he now curls up in a corner of the crib no matter where I set him down. I know I won't get a ton of use out of this as he'll be standing on his own soon--so the recommendation at that point is to remove the bumper so they don't stand on it. But I'm still glad I purchased it. I have actually seen him on his crib camera running his hands over the super soft bumps on the inside of the bumper. So cute! Sizing was fine for me. I do wish the ties were longer. Since they are on the outside of the crib it just doesn't hurt to make them longer, so they are easier to tie.

The bumper is great as the other reviewers have stated. Soft, attractive, doesn't shed, etc... However, when I pulled it tight into all 4 corners of my standard size crib, it is about 6 inches too small to go all the way around. It's not really a problem, I end up having the bumper not laying flat against the head of the crib, but it seems silly to make a bumper that is not quite long enough. So I've knocked off two stars from my review of an otherwise excellent bumper.

My son is almost 8 months old, and when he started pushing his arms and legs out the crib slats every night and waking himself up, it was time for a bumper. This one is by far the best bumper we have owned (Child #3, with multiple bedding sets, we have seen a bunch of bumpers) It fits the crib perfectly, with no slack or spaces. Its very soft, so it won't bother the baby at all. It stays put as well, doesn't slide up and down on the rails.

I love this!! It is so soft and it is very cushioned. I needed this for our second little girl and I refused to pay 80+ dollars just for ONE fitted sheet, a "blanket" that is too stiff to use as a cover, and a stiff bumper that is thin and matches only one theme. So I decided to purchase everything separate and I am glad I did! The color is just as shown and matches with any decor. It is perfect!!! :)

It is such a wonderful bumper. Clean, soft and still breathable. Plus, with it's texture, babies will enjoy touching the fabric.
Our baby used to scoot into the corner, bang her head against the crib and wake herself up; now when she does that, she doesn't wake herself up!
So glad we got it!
