hiccapop Pack and Play Mattress Pad for (38x26x1) Portable Crib Playpen | Playard Mattress for Pack and Play | Pack N Play Mattress Topper with Travel Carry Bag & Soft Washable Cover

Baby is sleeping so much better when we travel now. I wish we had bought this sooner!! I would recommend paying the extra for the carry case, makes it so much easier to travel with.

We just upgraded our pack n play to a model suited for older babies but I was concerned about it not being comfortable enough at bedtime compared to his crib. I was also worried about all the warnings they give you about adding extra mattresses and such. To be safe, we decided to slide it underneath the pack and play to fill the small gap between the bottom and the floor. (I added a sheet to keep it clean.). It supports him well and he slept great! We did try it inside the pack n play and it did fit great. Very snug. So, I don’t think there would be problems with it on ours. We just decided to err on the side of caution since we had that option on our style. We used ours for when we had guests. We have not traveled with it yet but it compresses down really well and isn’t very heavy. I think you could easily put it in a full size suitcase. The pad was soft textured with a firm side for infants and a softer side for toddlers.

Okay, so let me preface this by saying that I am one of the last people to spend a bunch of money trying to get a baby to sleep. If baby wakes in the night then so be it.. BUT. I noticed when we switched baby to his pack and play for overnight sleep that HIS sleep quality started to decrease. He tossed and turned practically all night and had between 3-5 wakings (when he was only waking once when sleeping in his bassinet). The only time he would sleep well would be when sleeping on my mattress. We as parents obviously cant lay in the pack and play to test out its comfort (or can we?), but just pressing my hand into it I could tell it was much stiffer and harder than I remember them being with my first son 4 years ago. So I caved and bought the mattress. The mattress came quick, within 24 hours of ordering and arrived in a small box, a tad taller than a wine box. The mattress was vacuum packed and rolled up. I took the mattress out of the vacuum packaging right away and laid it out for an hour or so on a flat surface to puff up. Youll notice in the description that this mattress has two sides hard and soft with the hard being meant for infant and the soft for older babies. The hard side is still really nice and supple but the soft side has a true memory foam feel. We are using this mattress with a 6 month old baby who is a belly sleeper and opted to use the soft side. The mattress also features a zip off cover/sheet that is really soft and has an almost fleece feel to it. We are having baby sleep directly on the cover until we buy a sheet. *I will say, while sleeping on the cover I have noticed the tiniest amount of piling* Babys sleep quality has greatly improved since buying this mattress. He is taking a great morning nap, about 3 hours and is sleeping from 7 pm - 1 am, eating, and then going back to sleep until 7 am. I am so glad I made the decision to buy this mattress and would HIGHLY recommend it!

Baby isn’t here yet so I can’t speak on sleep quality (and who knows if a newborn isn’t sleeping due to a mattress or something else anyway). However, the mattress feels SUPER nice and comfortable. My 4-year-old tested it out and said it felt great. It *didn’t* smell strongly when I opened it like most things do that come packaged in plastic. It was vacuum sealed and rolled into a small box to save on space/shipping costs. Once I cut it open, it expanded to its full size and shape in about 20 minutes. The mattress protector is amazing. I did remove and wash it upon receiving the mattress just to wash off anything it came in contact with in the manufacturing process, which I advise everyone to do. I purchased a fitted sheet from another company on Amazon that fits it snugly. There is no gapping on the sides or corners, which is perfect since the main concern for SIDS is baby’s face getting in a gap. There is also a really firm side, comparable to a regular crib mattress, which is also great to help prevent SIDS. The play pen I’m using in the picture is a “Graco Pack N Play Playard On The Go.” I purchased it at Walmart. I’ll include a picture of the box so you know which one fits well with the hiccapop mattress.

Great little mattress, my son hasnt slept in his pack n play since he was about 3mos. We had planned to take it on vacation with us for him to sleep in so I was worried he wouldnt sleep well being used to his crib mattress over the hard pack n play mattress. I did a few test naps in the pack n play with this little mattress and he slept without issues for 12hrs. Its just thick enough to provide additional comfort but also super easy to fold up and pack into a duffle bag with his pack n play for travel. highly recommend!

Why would a grown, plus-size, exhausted mommy sleep on a pack and play mattress? Reasons. Did I buy this mattress for my 8 month old? You betcha. It fit in his pack and play perfectly, it was way more comfy than the warped chip board bed that is the average pack and play, and I had no safety concerns. Fast forward a few months and my just 1 yr old has learned to get his leg over his pack and play and over his crib… so somehow in a haze of screaming (mostly his) crying (mostly mine) and post-baby GERD (definitely mine) I now sleep on the floor next to the baby surrounded by a giant playpen: him on his crib mattress and me half on this mattress half on a GERD wedge. And yes, I realize this sounds ridiculous. Moving on. This mattress is so comfy I probably won’t hold this over head for than a few years. Honestly, I’ve been sleeping on it for a few months now- obviously it’s not designed for someone my weight and size- but there is no sign of the the foam breaking down. It’s soft enough to to be comfortable, but firm enough to be supportive. The material is good quality and the cover washes really well. I would recommend this mattress to anyone looking for a comfy place to sleep for their little one.

I was disappointed when we first opened the pack-n-play and discovered the very thin, hard, trifold mattress it came with. While that would be fine to set the baby down on as a sitting surface when he got older, I couldn’t imagine him comfortably sleeping on it. So I started searching for replacement mattresses or mattress toppers. I went with Hiccapop because I had already been very happily using their wedge pillow throughout my pregnancy, so it made sense that I would probably like their mattresses as well. It did not disappoint. It has a firmer side for newborns and a softer side for older babies, and the cover is waterproof and easy to take off, wash, and put back. I had zero problem fitting pack-n-play sized mattress sheets on it, and we put it in on top of the thin, hard mattress that came with ours. Our baby normally sleeps in a crib in his own room, and we typically use our pack-n-play as a first floor changing station. However, the furnace went out when he was seven weeks old and we brought it into our room to conserve heat. He slept great on the Hiccapop mattress; I doubt he even noticed he wasn’t in his regular crib. Would highly recommend to those who use a pack-n-play for full-time sleep or want a more comfortable option for their little one. Would buy again!
