Was skeptical in buying a new mattress to go along with the toddler bed because my grandson absolutely loved the crib mattress he had. He would never want to sleep on anything else.  But being a Grandma and buying him a new toddler bed meant that he also needed a new mattress. That's how grandparents work. LOL. We buy regardless whether we need to or not.  Glad I did.  It was of good quality.  As for the doubts we had about him wanting to sleep on it instead of his original mattress he showed us.  He loved it and drifted right off to sleep.  I have no regrets about buying the toddler bed or the mattress.  Thank You!
