Comments from testers
Katarzyna, Alexander's mother (1 month old)
Comfortable for the child, perfect firmness. The wedge is the perfect height. The cover is easy to remove, which makes washing easier. Very good quality of the mattress and cover.
Klaudia, Amelia's mother (1 month old)
I like the thickness of the material and the hardness. It does not collapse under a small child. It looks decent and so thick and tough that it will be suitable for an older child. The wedge fits under the mattress and does its job perfectly.
Karolina, I have Alicja (one year and 3 months old)
The mattress maintains its dimensions, is of appropriate hardness, along with the wedge, it takes care of the child's position in the bed. During use, there were no deformations, no smell, it has washable covers. In my opinion, it adequately protects the child during sleep.
