I'm looking forward to the post though! I wonder how kids do who have floor mattresses from the time they're around 10 months old? Most blogs I read said they started their kid on one before a year old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-type-of-mattress-did-you-use-for-los-floor-bed#post-171866 Tue, 29 May 2012 10:13:45 +0000 Mrs. Bee 171866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: it has been truly, truly horrible. i need to write a post on it once i have my plan of action in place! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-type-of-mattress-did-you-use-for-los-floor-bed#post-171858 Tue, 29 May 2012 10:11:47 +0000 Mrs. Pen 171858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: oh I didn't know you guys actually made the transition! How has it been?</p> <p>If we transition LO to a floor bed, this is the mattress I want: <a href="http://www.nooksleep.com/products-13-pebble-twin-mattress.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.nooksleep.com/products-13-pebble-twin-mattress.html</a><br /> It's spendy but looks comfortable and I love that it's completely natural and toxic-free. Not as expensive as organic, but similar health benefits. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-type-of-mattress-did-you-use-for-los-floor-bed#post-171847 Tue, 29 May 2012 10:06:03 +0000 Zuzu2and11 171847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: Thank you for the link! I'm bummed we got rid of my thin futon mattress pre-baby. The one we have now is way too thick.</p> <p>@Mrs. Bee: Thanks! I wish we had room for a full right now so I would have room to side nurse on it. </p> <p>@Mrs. Jacks: We might go with this one or the regular Ikea crib mattress...it's just a matter of space both in the room and storage. I am excited to set up a Montessori environment. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-type-of-mattress-did-you-use-for-los-floor-bed#post-171778 Tue, 29 May 2012 09:25:22 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 171778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got an Ikea mattress that we can transition to a bunk bed later. It's pretty cool because it's extendable!<br /> <a href="http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/50155117/" rel="nofollow">http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/50155117/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-type-of-mattress-did-you-use-for-los-floor-bed#post-171763 Tue, 29 May 2012 09:15:44 +0000 Mrs. Bee 171763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we used a futon mattress as well. charlie would definitely have rolled off a crib mattress, and even a twin mattress, and mattresses are higher off the ground than futon mattresses. we have a full sized one (but we wish he were still in his crib!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-type-of-mattress-did-you-use-for-los-floor-bed#post-171748 Tue, 29 May 2012 08:59:52 +0000 chopsuey 171748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We ended up using our futon mattress as LO's bed. It was thinner, firm and comfy. Got it from Ikea!<br /> <a href="http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/90103584/" rel="nofollow">http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/90103584/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-type-of-mattress-did-you-use-for-los-floor-bed#post-171687 Tue, 29 May 2012 08:17:22 +0000 Zuzu2and11 171687@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are planning to transition LO to a floor bed within the next couple of months. Since we are in an apartment right now with little spare room, I was thinking I would just purchase a crib mattress and then upgrade to a twin mattress when we move in the fall. But I would love to hear what type of mattress you use so I can expand my research!</p> <p>What kind/brand of mattress did you use?<br /> Where did you buy your mattress?<br /> How old was LO when you transitioned him/her to the floor bed? </p>
