My son sleeps on a floor mattress and he loves it. We put a playpen gate around it so that he can't get out. hehe. We're going to put the mattress on the bedframe in a few months once we install the baby gates on our stairs. Since he's already so used to sleeping on his mattress, we're "hoping" that the transition wont' be too hard! ACK!

We have a floor bed! We finally bought the gate banana's talking about! Should have gotten it months ago

Oh to answer your other question. We put him on the floor bed I think at around 10 months. We co-slept for the first 2-3 months, transitioned to crib from 3-10 months, and then he was on the floor bed starting from 10 months (he still sleeps on it). We've always had that playpen gate surrounding the mattress so he couldn't crawl/walk off of it.

The floor bed was always in his room from the get-go. From 10-20 months, either me or my husband slept with him on his bed. Actually, we put him down and waited til he fell asleep. Then we would sneak out and watch TV, etc. We'd then go to bed (on our own beds) and if he woke up in the middle of the night, we'd climb into his bed with him and sleep with him til morning. At 20 months, we would still lay with him til he fell asleep, but then go sleep on our own beds. If he woke up in the middle of the night, we would go in and soothe him but then go back to our own beds. Now, he's 25 months and sleeps through the night on his own (on the floor bed).

Hope that made sense!
