This mattress is just what we were looking for - very firm but doesn't seem too uncomfortable. Additionally, it runs a little larger than the average mattress (we had a different mattress that we got for free with the crib that was a few inches smaller on the side), so it fits VERY snugly in a standard crib. In fact, we have to lift the mattress out a little just to get the sheet on, which can be a pain if you have a crib bumper but is comforting to know that the baby can't get his hands stuck between the mattress and crib. Have already recommended this mattress to a few other parents.

We have twin 2 yr old boys both with similar mattresses. We knew we wanted this mattress for our baby girl, having been very satisfied with our previous two. However, upon reading the reviews, I expected to receive the mattress ripped, torn, unfinished or lumpy. Since the price was so good and the site offered free shipping and returns, I figured the worst that would happen would be that I would send it back.
Upon arrival, I was on my hands and knees, scouring for defects. None found. I then laid on it, rolled around and felt every inch with my hands. I found nothing but a firm,comfortable mattress. It fit our crib perfectly. We kept it.
If you want a nice firm mattress for a great price, this is it.

As a first time mom, I did A LOT of research on the type of mattress to purchase for our crib. Don't be fooled by the price. This mattress meets all the requirements prescribed by the American Academy of Pediatrics and that made me very happy. It's also slightly larger than a standard mattress, which is excellent because it fits very firmly in my daughter's crib with no gaps between the mattress and sides. I do advise that you actually measure your crib before ordering this as some other reviewers noted it was just a tad too large for their cribs and would not fit. Overall, and excellent value.

We bought this mattress to avoid any chance of sids, and it certainly is extra firm. Unfortunately the perimiter wires that keep it so firm won't flex inwards in the corners.
The Delta Eclipse crib our parents bought us(Stunning!) has metal hangers suspending the mattress bed(support). They're bent in such that they won't let the mattress lay fully flat because it jabs the mattress corners up. Although the width and length were exact, with no gaps.
We'll be returning it via ups(Kudos to Amazon for their easy print return shipping labels).
Probably buy a foam core mattress for 3 times this price...
If no part of your crib structure extends into the mattress footprint I would definitely use this mattress.

I originally ordered this product at the beginning of August or end of July and received my mattress in record time. Once it was out of the package I noticed that the back of the mattress had raw edges around the binding where the binding was fraying and looked like someone had actually cut into the binding while finishing off. I reported the issue to Amazon and they quickly sent me a replacement and covered the return costs. I got the second mattress again in record time and discovered the same issue on the back. To save Amazon the expense of the return I contacted LaJobi to resolve the issue. They sent me a second replacement and to my dismay same issue. At this point I'd seen three of the same mattress with frayed or raw binding edges on the back side. While both Amazon and LaJobi were accommodating I'm disappointed that I couldn't get the mattress that I wanted in the condition I was expecting. Will never buy this brand again unless I get it at a store where I can check for defects before purchase.

The company gets five stars, the product gets 0.

I purchased this mattress after reading many reviews - I didn't want to spend too much on a mattress, but I wanted it to be a good one. This is it! It's not too expensive but is a great mattress. Fits perfectly in our crib (DaVinci Kalani Convertible Crib in Espresso) and works great!

We have a Graco Lauren crib and this mattress fit perfectly and is just the right amount of firm for a baby to be safe and comfortable. It came packaged well and on time and we were completely satisfied.

This is a great mattress. Cleans well, plenty firm, no chemical smell, not too heavy, and fits great in my crib. (Delta Children's Products style Tyson Convertible Crib). One note - Don't try to take off the giant sheep sticker, there is some sort of industrial adhesive on it and it is impossible to remove.

Wonderful product. Fits tightly in the crib, no gaps. Nice and firm for baby to have a nice sleep.

I foresee us having to purchase another mattress for our son before transforming our crib into his toddler bed. We got one of those really big cribs that turn into a toddler bed, and later a full sized bed frame, so we needed a big mattress like this. My mom and I went and felt them in the store and decided on this one: not too firm, but firm enough to be a SIDS preventative. Well my son is just over 3 months now, and my husband and I have noticed that where he ends up in the crib at night after he does all of his scootin' around, (which is pretty much in the middle) there is a dip/soft spot. It's not really bad, but considering he is only 3 months and has only been sleeping in the crib for 2 months, I'm a little disappointed. We will probably make it work until we make his bed a toddler bed, and I'm sure with him weighing a lot more by this point, we will just go ahead and buy a different mattress for him. I've read a lot of great reviews on this mattress, so perhaps ours just wasn't stuffed all the way with the padding, but I just thought I would throw our experience out there!
