Comfort Pad
Can anyone recommend a crib mattress pad that will add comfort or has enough padding?
I want to add some padding for my 2 year old as she isn't ready for a bed yet but has a hard mattress. I want to find a mattress pad that adds some cushion for her, but am hesitant to buy online without getting to touch it myself.
While Tempur-Pedic does make some good stuff and some people like them, I find them just too "tacky" not in a fashion sense, but in a stick-to-it sense. You'll find that it comforms to the body all right, by making a sort of nest or bowl that's hard to roll out out of. I think they're too confining, but you may hear other opinions.
Instead, I'd go with a good old Sealy mattress pad. At the bottom of this, I'll give you a URL with some comparisons so you can see a lot more details than I have room to give you.
Our little one is not so little anymore (five now) so my knowledge is about three to four years out of date, but we went with a Sealy crib pad. They make a quilted one that's available in most baby departments. They also offer others with different features like ten year stain resistance and other nonsense. Who needs a crib pad for ten years?
Even their regular stuff is hypoallergenic and easy to clean. Just make sure it fits well, which it will if you have a standard sized crib mattress.
One thing I'll mention, though you didn't ask about it. Your question says the mattress your two-year-old has is too hard. Why do you believe that it is? If she sleeps fine on it, I wouldn't worry about it. Babies are remarkably resilient, and while you might think the mattress is too hard, she probably doesn't really care. I can well remember shopping for cribs and being dismayed by what I thought were rock-hard mattresses. However, our pediatrician said (and it's apparently true) that a good firm mattress is better for babies. I don't know if that's a SIDS thing or not, and with a two-year-old, you're well past any concerns about that.
Not that I'm trying to talk you out of a mattress pad, just mentioning that your little girl would probably be fine no matter what you got. Anyway, we were happy with the Sealy brand. Here's a link to a comparison of several. Good luck:
