I ordered this product for my daughter's bed - she is 13 months. She did indeed sleep better (although not through the night, and any parent who has a night-waking child will laugh when they see the description that says, "they'll surely sleep through the night now." Ha. Generally I like it - I think it made her hard-as-a-rock baby mattress more comfortable, and she seems to genuinely enjoy the bed. I think it was a good investment for her toddler years, until she graduates to a standard bed. A few thoughts on it:
1) it's a little large for our "standard" crib mattress - not large enough that we had to cut it, and as another reviewer suggested, it fits with the mattress pad and crib sheet over it. But between its bulk, and the crib design (there isn't much space between the crib rails and the mattress for safety reasons), we actually have to lift the mattress all the way out to change the sheet. A slight inconvenience, but worth it for the extra comfort.
2) It is THICK. Really thick. I would say it adds a good 2" to the thickness of the mattress (good to know if you have a climber).
3) It does indeed have a funky smell, as several other reviewers suggested. I unwrapped it and left it sit out overnight, and that helped a lot, but it took WEEKS for the smell to clear completely. I no longer smell it now, but the first few weeks it was evident.
4) It discolored where it touches the bars of the crib on the side. I am not sure what this means, but I thought it was odd.

This mattress topper definitely needs a clean/recently-washed mattress pad. It looks and feels very comfortable.... and it fits the crib perfectly.... BUT...

I was very concerned when I unwrapped the mattress topper from the plastic. I immediately felt lightheaded and the smell was pretty intense - like a gas station but more intense because our toddler's room is small. I immediately opened the window to air out the room and threw the plastic wrap in the basement. Is this normal for it to smell so toxic? I am nervous about him sleeping on this.

If you do purchase this, I would recommend planning to "air out" this mattress before using it.

Ok... so my husband, a chemical engineer, just came home... I am not crazy... he said the room is fine now (because the window is open), but that the mattress has a strong hydrocarbon (aka gas-like) smell. The mattress is now in the basement... we will air it outside on nice days for a couple of weeks. If it still smells, we are sending it back and may do so sooner... that smell can't be good, can it??? We will try to research the contents of this mattress... most likely, we might just stuff our fluffy duvet under the mattress pad to make the crib softer and return this one.

We have a similar product, same thickness and size.

When you put a sheet over this topper and your crib mattress, it becomes VERY snug and compact.

Our daughter, now 19 months, has spent her entire life on our memory foam bed and is still breathing and alive.

When we transitioned to a toddler bed just recently her crib mattress is hard enough to bounce quarters off of and she was tossing and turning all night long.

The topper made a huge difference for her.

Would I put a newborn on this? Not sure. But our newborns sleep with us in our bed, not alone in a crib.

Any baby that can roll themselves completely over will be able to avoid suffocating themselves.
