5.0 out of 5 stars Better Sleep for Everyone June 27, 2011

UPDATE: It is now March of 2013 and we are still using this product. I liked it so much that I actually ordered another one as we have had another child. The one that I purchased this time around is NOT the same quality as the previous one. In fact, I am very disappointed with it. The zipper was replaced with cheap plastic snaps and the pad is not nearly as long. I was expecting to get the same product that I had ordered before. Compared to the previous version, this one gets only 2 stars in my book. I am going to try to contact customer service.
ORIGINAL REVIEW:
This co-sleeping pad has been a lifesaver (or more likely marriage saver!) for my family.
I have a very restless 8 month old. He starts off in his crib in a deep sleep and about 5 hours later starts rolling around. He gets his legs and arms through the bars and cries and then scoots up and hits his head. My husband was working away from home for awhile so I would just bring the baby in bed with me at this point. When the hubby came back home, I was worried that he would roll or otherwise hurt the baby because he is also a restless sleeper who tends to throw his arms out to the side. However, I did not want to put baby on my other side for fear that he would roll off of the bed. So some totally sleepless nights ensued during which I tried to settle baby in his crib with no success. Hubby was upset with no sleep for work, and I was upset because no sleep for me and baby kept hurting himself on the bars of the crib.
Something had to give. I had looked at this co-sleeper pad a long time ago and thought it was way too expensive. However, what is the cost of having no sleep? Hubby drives long distances to work and was having trouble staying alert. The cheaper "anti-roll" bed devices were just bed rails or foam that slipped under your sheet. Neither seemed like a good option for us. A bedrail would be the crib all over again and the foam just looked like it would not fit nicely under my already snug sheets. So we talked it over and decided to order it.
First night after we got it, we all slept better. When baby wakes, he comes into bed and I don't have to worry about hubby hurting him or baby rolling off of the bed. It makes night time nursing a breeze and the cotton absorbs spills wonderfully so there is no need to change the whole bed. I find it very soft and comfortable, it is however, slightly hotter than a regular sheet for summer use, but not to the point where I would stop using it. There is plenty of room for me, hubby and baby, however, we do have a king size bed.
Overall, it was definitely worth the price and I would definitely recommend it to other parents. I am so thankful that this worked for us!!

UPDATE: It is now the end of October 2011 and we are still using this co-sleeper. The fabric is still as soft as it was when I purchased it despite many washings. The padding in the roll is still fluffy, I just move it whenever I wash the pad so that it is not always getting flattened out. This product has been well worth the cost and the quality is wonderful. I honesty don't know what we would have done without it! 2 thumbs still way up for this co-sleeper.

2.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't stay put August 15, 2009

By Amber Jeing

The concept is great but needs to be improved upon. The part that you lay on constantly wrinkles, bunches up, and shifts around b/c there's nothing keeping it laying flat while your bodies are naturally moving on top of it. It gets realy uncomfortable having the material bunch up under you and you need to keep fixing and adjusting it. I'm disappointed since there are very few of these types of items available for bedsharing with our infant. I wish the sheet part was longer so that it could be tucked under the other side of the mattress or something - that way, maybe it would stay put.

5.0 out of 5 stars Co Sleeping dream! November 10, 2008

This was exactly what our family was looking for. This ensures our baby is safe while giving my husband and I the opportunity to cuddle. The three of us sleep so much better now. We like it much better then the seperate cosleeping nest (the type you set in the middle of the bed) that we were using before. It is easy to wash and will make holiday traveling so much easier. It is well worth the expense.
