I love this mattress! It's the best baby mattress I have ever seen. I initially bought this mattress to put in a crib at my in-laws' house for occasional use. I wanted something inexpensive, very comfortable, and not covered in plastic or vinyl. We loved it so much, we ended up getting another one for the crib at home too.
There are several features that I really love about this mattress. Most importantly, it's the perfect combination of comfort and firmness for a baby. I don't know how Graco managed to do it. It must be magic. But it feels so soft and cradling when you touch it or press on it, and yet it's somehow firm enough not to let the baby sink into it at all. Even my 38 lb preschooler doesn't sink in when she lays on it. I want a safe mattress, but not one that feels hard. I want my baby to be comfortable. This mattress is perfect.
Another awesome feature is the fact that it fits exactly right in the crib. No gaps. Our old crib mattress fit pretty well in the sense that there were no large gaps around the edges, but this mattress you have to press just a little to get it in place and it's snug all the way around. And not only that, but the edges and corners are square so there's no empty space in the corners either and it doesn't round over on the edges. Maybe I'm just weird, but there's something satisfying about a proper fit like that and a very flat surface that doesn't make the baby roll to the edge or toward the middle. It's also safer for babies not to have any way to get stuck between the mattress and the side of the crib.
I love the fact that there's no plastic cover. It does mean it's not waterproof, only water resistant. But I will take that trade in a heartbeat because I hate the noise and feel of those vinyl-covered mattresses. This one is so inviting.
The mattress is made of a single block of foam. Because it's only water-resistant, I used a waterproof mattress cover on it, but I don't think you would have to. The water resistant feature comes from a liner over the foam that feels something like the material you might find on the outside of a windbreaker jacket or a pair of snow pants. It's very thin and flexible and fabric-like, but kind of shiny and wouldn't let water through very well. There's another cover over that which is stretchy and has a textured feel and it makes it so you can't really tell there's a slicker, water resistant layer underneath. And on top of that, there's a third cover that is very soft fabric. All 3 covers have zippers and completely cover the mattress all the way around. They're easy to remove if you need to. The innermost cover would probably need to be handwashed as I don't think it would hold up in the washer, but it might just wipe off unless there was a lot of liquid. The other covers seem durable enough to go in the washer. The overall effect with all the covers on is much like the surface of an adult's mattress - soft fabric feel over foam.
The mattress ships tightly compressed and rolled in a box. You just remove the box and plastic packaging, unroll it, and let the foam expand. I recommend taking all the covers off to let the foam expand properly, without binding up inside the covers, and so it gets plenty of air. It only took about 4-5 hours to take its normal shape, but we left it for about 24 hours before we put the covers back on and used it. I didn't notice any chemical smell at all.
My baby girl sleeps great on this mattress and I'm very happy with it. The only thing I don't know yet is how well it will last. It has a 6 year warranty and it seems plenty durable, but time will tell. Even if it only lasts a couple of years, I would buy it again at this price.

I didn't have any of the problems others have stated. Mine fluffed up all on it's own in about 10 minutes. I also had it out of the cover and the sides were not melted. It was perfectly cut and has rows of air holes all the way through it, just a few inches apart. It also has an encasement under the cover that appears to be woven material like fiberglass. I don't know what it's made of, but I am sure that it's what gives the mattress it's flame retardant protection. The mattress cover itself is a nice enough fabric with an inner plastic like backing, but it isn't crackly. And the zipper is good quality and works smoothly. All in all it's a good mattress for the price. Moving on...
I needed something to use for a cover for it, and didn't want the standard cotton crib sheets in colors and prints for babies. So I searched crib sheets looking for something better suited to dogs and found the perfect sheets. It says they are flannel but they are not. They're a thick, plush velour fabric.
So for a cover I ordered the BlueSnail Super Soft Stretchy Fitted Flannel Crib Bed Sheet for Standard Crib and Toddler Mattress (Brown)
I also ordered the Biloban waterproof crib mattress encasement (full enclosure with zipper), to protect the mattress from accidents, like vomit. With that and the sheets I can keep the mattress clean and fresh with a simple sheet/encasement change. My 2 dogs love the bed, so I planned to order another one, now that I know what I'm getting.
The second mattress is on the way now, since one dog got injured and has to be kept crated for healing. I have an extra large Pet Lodge crate, but it needed a cushion in it. So I took some measurements and found the crib mattress is the perfect width, just 5 1/2 inches too long. So I took the cover off, and cut the end of the flame retardant fabric open at the end, since it was a little longer than the mattress and stretches. Underneath that is a thin fabric that covers the foam. I cut it across the top of one end, 6 inches from the end of the foam, so it's like a cap over the end (like a flip top cigarette box). I peeled it back about a foot, and and used a straight edge on it to cut almost all the way through the foam with a very sharp knife, about 1/8 inch from being cut all the way through. I then folded that piece back on top of the mattress for a bolster pillow. I taped it in place with duct tape, then pulled the thin fabric back over it and taped it shut on the bottom. Then I did the same with the flame retardant fabric, taping it across the end, and put the cover back on. I did the bolster so the covers wouldn't be too big and hang 5 inches off the end of the foam. Since I left that extra foam folded back on top of it, it filled the covers with no excess hanging off. I just didn't put the encasement back on, because of the orientation of the zipper on it, I wouldn't have been able to get it on. So instead I cut a piece of an old 1 inch thick memory foam mattress topper to fit over the mattress, from the top of the foot end, all the way over the bolster end and to the bottom of it. Then I put the sheet on and put it in the crate. It fits end to end and side to side. So I had to take the back end off the crate to slide it in, since the door isn't that wide. But it's all done and nearly perfect. Poor Jilly Bean has a long recovery ahead for a ruptured Achilles tendon.
When the new one comes, I will put the encasement on it, along with the other sheet. I'll also be ordering a couple more sheets now so I have a spare for each mattress.
