Side by Side Comparison of: Sealy vs Dream On Me

Someone just commented on how soft my daughter's mattress is...definitely a comfortable sleep for the baby. I have one in my toddler's bed too!

Purchased for son & daughter in law to use for our grand children.

My son seems happy with it. He's 7 months and seems to sleep well. He's had for a couple of months. Seems to have a good firmness and the sheet that he has is snug with the mattress. The mattress seems to be quiet and not the crinkly kind that makes noises every time you move. I know my wife is happy with our purchase. Worth the extra money.He can't talk so he can't review it himself unfortunately.

Awesome mattress. Durable and perfect weight (heavy for baby but light enough for mom to pick up)

We've been using this mattress for over a year now, and it is still holding up great. Our son moves around a lot at night, so we haven't had the issue some reviewers talk about where the mattress develops a low spot. We've never had an issue with leaks, all wetness wipes right off and dries quickly. We will be purchasing another for our second baby who is coming soon.

I bought this to replace our old Sealy crib mattress because I never saved the receipt for the warranty. Make sure if you will ever need the warranty to save the receipt. This is a much firmer mattress. The first mattress bought in 2007 went through both of my boys plus my girls for a little while. It couldn't withstand the weight of both girls anymore. They are 1 year old and 20+ pounds each. My twins sleep together on this mattress in their crib. It doesn't sag at all and in fact they seem to really like it. I'm happy if they're happy!

Works great. I needed something waterproof for potty training. I scrub it down regularly. It seems to be pretty durable. It fits a little tightly in the toddler bed that I have so it can be slightly a nuisance when changing sheets. But nothing to worry about.

Our first purchase lasted only just over a year....BUT, we use this with our 160 lb Irish Wolfhound puppy! Much less expensive than a XxL dog bed, and we just add a fitted sheet, and we can easily change, wash and add another. The springs did break down over time, but this is with every day use! A tough mattress that will hold up to any baby - even our's!! <3 We just bought another and Finnegan loves it for bedtime!

Great mattress for cribs and toddler beds. Easy to wipe down and she seems very comfortable on it. Soft but not so soft that the fear of her not being to roll over is a factor. the material on the outside make it easy to clean and the design is adorable. Fits perfectly in to her standard size crib and onto her toddler frame too.

This is better than I expected. I purchased this as a dog bed. Much cheaper and much better for my bigger dogs than traditional beds. What I didn't expect is that this is a great quality for the price! I will be ordering again!

Our Golden Retriever/Lab mix loves his new bed. So much, we have a hard time getting him out of it at times.

This is a very nice crib mattress which we purchased for our soon to arrive grandbaby. It has a nice feel and is of a good quality in comparison to those that we looked at in the big box stores in our area. It was great that we could have it shipped to our home. A much easier shopping experience when also ordering a new crib. It fits the crib very well and should last for more than one child over the years ahead.

It was good quality and fit great. Only think I would change is for it to have a thicker padding. It was rather thin.

Fits perfectly into the crib, no gaps. Very firm, easy clean. So far very durable. Good value for the price. Used daily, and so far no indentations or low spots in it.

We are expecting twins in just a couple of months, so when preparing for our little ones, we are not only trying to get great quality but also trying to save a little as well with having to buy 2 of most things. I researched mattresses for several weeks, going back in forth trying to make up my mind. When I read the reviews on this mattress on Amazon and also on store websites, I was very impressed and the price was very resonable. I had read other reviews that there was a smell on the mattress when received, however this was not the case for us and we bought 2. Even though our little ones arent here yet, we are very pleased so far. The mattress fits as snug as bug in the cribs and is very light for changing mattress pad and sheets. If you want a good quality mattress at a fair price, this is the route to go!

I choose this based on reviews and price. When I first received the item, I intended to ship it back right away. It seemed soft and airy and not likely to withstand anything heavy over time. I was livid! But, I was too busy putting together baby crib and other accessories to make time for a return.I then decided to try it out in the crib. I even put baby on it & bounced her around a bit while observing her comfort. She like it, mattress took her bounce ver well. I decided to keep the thing. Weeks later baby fell asleep in her carseat, yes I put the big carseat on the mattress. She usually co-sleep with me, but this was the first time she slept anywhere besides next to me! Anyhow, the darn mattress held up so well! Took the weight of the baby & carseat like a champ...lol.Hope this helps. It does feel a bit "airy", but it's firm & strong enough. Get it on sale.

This mattress is a good buy. It meets the needs of a newborn/toddler. I don't know that it will last a lifetime, but you are not paying that much. Newborns especially don't need anything too fancy and this does the job. My product was true to size and fits snuggly against the crib edges. It is fairly firm as a crib mattress should be. The mattress I had with my first child had the "advertised benefit" of two sides - one for newborn and one for toddler and supposedly slightly different feels to those sides. I don't remember that really being necessary or worth the extra money. I would recommend this basic mattress even if you got a super fancy crib!

Having twins on the way, I was in the market for 2 mattresses, so budget was limited. Lots of research and store visits to find the best mattress, sub $100. Very happy with the firmness and support of this mattress. As other posters have mentioned, it's firm, but not rock hard like some firm mattresses. It is interesting to note, and maybe this happened to some reviewers who said it was too soft, but if you feel the mattresses standing up it feels softer than when it is lying on the ground. Lying on the ground gives the mattresses the full support and there is a noticeable difference in the perception of firmness.My only concern, and the reason for 4 stars instead of 5, the mild vinyl smell coming from the mattress once removed from it's plastic bag. I'm having twins, so I get the pleasure of comparing 2 of everything, and both mattresses have this smell. If this dissipates over the next week, I'll update with an additional star because it seems like a great mattress. However, as a product designer, it boggles my mind how you market green certifications and a baby mattress, but select materials that smell when 1st pulled from the package and therefore needlessly cause me to question if I'm harming my newborns. Even if this is harmless and does dissipate over time, it seems counter-intuitive to the perception you're trying to give parents of a super-safe product for a new baby.Note on construction spring vs. foam. I opted for spring because my 2 year-old has a spring and it has held up very well over the years. While never trying foam, I was worried about the potential indentations over time and their ability to hold up, especially at the cheaper price points, but have no basis for that belief except for the varying reviews I've found online...

Good enough quality for the price. Seems a bit light but should be fine. The babies, as my husband pointed out, look like they're laying on poop clouds though. Maybe brown wasn't the best color choice. I thought it was funny and a sheet covers it so who really cares though.

Comfy enough. Fits our toddler bed well. Not as loud as others are letting on. Love it can be wiped down easily. Has an odd smell. Not bad just odd. It's the plastic to it. Open the plastic it comes in and let it air out, outdoors before putting it in the bed or dressing it. It makes a huge difference.

I like these mattresses for their price and they're comfortable for both of my boys to sleep on but they are kind of noisy. If you just have one child in the room or your kids are heavy sleepers it shouldn't be a problem. Overall they're probably not much louder than any other mattress but I do still wish they were quieter. We bought new toddler beds when we got these and these mattresses fit in the beds perfectly. I would definitely recommend.

Recently got our little one a toddler bed and the Sealy matress I had for his crib that we loved, was doubled in price?! I wasn't wanting to really spend over $80 on a matress so I purchased this one. It came super quick and fits the toddler bed perfectly. Seems pretty comfy, not as good as our other but it'll do for sure, my little one seems to like it. It is a tad noisy but not bad, for what I paid in satisfied.

Not bad for the price but quality is lacking. Cover had a small tear when it arrived and the stitching at one seem is questionable. We actually use this as a dog bed (it became too expensive to constantly replace his traditional dog beds after he shredded them!) and this has worked out perfectly. He actually sleeps on it every night and if he has an accident it's super easy to clean

Good quality mattress. I was concerned it may be a little too soft after reading some other reviews, but I think it's perfect. I have never worried about it. AND I WORRY ABOUT EVERYTHING.

It is not that firm as I expected. Little bit disappointed.

We like the mattress but it does show already where baby lies after 3-4 months.We thought that was kind of weird??It is not that he is sinking into the mattress, but you just see where the mattress already gives in.Dont know if this mattress will hold out until he moves into the big bed.So not sure if I should recommend this mattress.

Was looking for a softer mattress for my toddler. The plastic waterproof cover didn't bother me as much in terms of making too much noise. The problem is when baby lays Down, the air displaces but has nowhere to go as there are no vents. So the other side balloons up. Not comfy. Going to return. Will be better off getting a mattress with a breathable shell and get a waterproof cover.

I bought this mattress for a second crib because my toddler wasn't ready to give his crib up when the baby #2 came along. So I didn't invest in this mattress like I did my first baby's mattress, and you can really tell. I wouldn't want to sleep on something so mushy and plastic-y feeling, but my baby doesn't seem to mind it too much. It definitely needs a mattress pad. If I had planned on my baby sleeping on this mattress through his crib/toddler bed years, then I would be looking to replace it with something better. It's fine for a little while until I transition my older child to a big bed and my baby can use his crib.

This doesn't feel as firm as I would have liked, but it is firm enough to be safe and our son has no complaints with it. And at least I don't feel the springs poking through when I lay on it. It fits the standard crib well. It is pretty light weight for lifting to change the sheets. However, the first time we put it in our crib, the plastic lining caught on the chain support in our crib and ripped. Of course my husband was pulling on it to get it uncaught, but this was disappointing. We have continued to use it even with the rip and it works just fine.

It looks like its a comfy matress for the baby. It is water/stain proof. I do like the fact that the pattern/color is whiteish so that I can use my white and other light colored crib sheets without having a matress pattern show through (which is the case with the 2nd baby matress that I got as a gift). I have been using this mattress for a year now and it does not show any wear or tear and think that it could last for several more years. That being said I am replacing it with one that is made of organic cotton cause some of the concerns that have resurfaced over time with the chemicals used for the vinyl cover in this one, I rather be safe than sorry.

Crib mattress is OK for price point. If I was able I would have if invested in a better quality one. It is vinyl like material on the outside to assist with any messes. Standard crib sheets fit and baby sleeps on it well.Overall an average mattress. Not sure if it will last the years I would need and want it to last.

You get what you pay for. It will get you by. It's not amazing by any standard. It's super loud but it gets the job done. It's a cheap kid mattress. I bought in Jan and am replacing with a better quality one because I can't handle listening to my child's every wiggle all night

The mattress itself is very flimsy. Works fine for a toddler bed, but doesn't have the backbone like a more expensive crib mattress. It's a tad bit shorter than the Dream On Me Toddler day bed, so I have a gap between the bedframe and the mattress. Great spot to lose a binky or a small stuffed animal. Was hoping for higher quality.

This mattress is VERY soft, and my toddler tends to roll to the edges of the bed on either side of it. I guess I should've expected mediocore quality at this price. Would be fine for occasional sleep (eg at grandparents house) so I might switch it out for the crib mattress at my mom's house.

It's an ok mattress I bought it for a spare. One side is waterproof the other side has a cotton type material on it, that I wouldn't trust as waterproof. When I partially lay on it I can feel the springs but the kids sleep ok on it.

Good value for money. Water proof cover makes rustling noise when the child turns, this could take some getting used to initially. Would be good if that cover was removable.

Light weight and not firm at all. Edge is especially soft. Did not bother to try it out and returned it.

Mattress does not hold it's shape. My (average size) baby leaves a dent where his head is that does not allow him to rollover, which in turn wakes him up. I have used Seally in the past and they have been great, but this model is not working for us. Baby wakes up every two hours and is obviously uncomfortable.

Its quite hard... but somehow there is a dent in the place where the baby sleeps... and the LO is less than 10pounds and barely sleeps on it (because its very hard).... im now hunting for a mattress pad for this... and seriously considering returning it... except that the effort involved in returning is just too much!!!the cover feels like plastic like the other reviewers mentioned... and given the possibility of wetting the crib mattress being so low, the waterproof mattress is not really an attraction...wish I had known that before...

The baby will be 2 next month and we've loved this mattress for him. However I have noticed the plastic cover has become a little brittle and sharp on the rolled edges. Suddenly, I see a crack in the mattress plastic. I'm guessing we won't be able to use it as a daybed mattress when the crib is not needed. :(

Has a plastic smell that lingers that baby should not inhale each night. Fits Graco Lauren Crib ok. A little too much space in the corners since the corners of the mattress are slightly rounded. It is firm but as another rater stated, it feels almost like a blowup air mattress! Also, as others have stated, even after just a couple of weeks use, the mattress is getting permanent divots where baby sleeps. I am looking for a better mattress for my crib and will return if I find another mattress that fits the crib.

After several months of use I noticed that there was a baby-sized divot in the mattress. My child is petite but even if she were a chunker I'd want the mattress to keep it's shape. It fits the crib well (Graco Lauren) and I haven't had any other complaints but this mattress certainly won't be used for a second child.

You can feel the springs through the mattress. It's not comfortable and my toddler complains about it.

We should have went with the foam version,the spring mattress is very uncomfortable for our son,he actually wakes up at night and continues his sleep on the carpet to avoid staying on it..I will be sending it back.

Was too small for my standard crib! Was able to fit a whole fist in between the mattress and the side rails on my delta standard crib. If the box wasn't torn I would return. Giving to my grandparents for their crib since the twins won't spend much time in that crib that way I don't feel like I was screwed over!! Or use it as a dog bed...

Came ripped. Don't want to ship back. Material that it is made of will rip really easy. Packaging and wrap were fine. Probably ripped pre. Bummed. But just going to tape it.

Very bad mattress. I bought it for my younger daughter and had to return it asap because I couldn't let her sleep on it a day longer. It's covered in a cheap plastic. If you press on one side of the mattress, the other side lifts, so bad. We have another mattress that we bough for our older daughter, and this one cannot compare. That's why it's going back and we're ordering the same one that we already have.

After two months of normal use on a toddler bed, the cover on this mattress cracked. I contacted customer service, and they were helpful and responsive - which is why this product is getting two stars instead of one.It turns out the warranty only covers manufacturers' defects. This means if you open the package and find something wrong, they'll replace the mattress for you. If it begins to fall apart because it's a flimsy product, you're on your own. In other words, there's not really a 10-year warranty, because what manufacturers' defects could you suddenly notice after 9 1/2 years?The company did offer to replace my mattress for free, as long as I pay $27 for shipping.My girl is average-sized, and she isn't allowed to jump on the bed, which means it only happens once a month or so. I suspect this just isn't strong enough for a toddler. It'd probably be fine for occasional use or for a small baby.To recap:- The cover is flimsy, and broke after two months.- The "warranty" doesn't actually cover anything except an immediately defective product.- It's not sturdy enough for a toddler.- Unless you only need this for occasional use, I strongly recommend a different brand.

Way too soft for a newborn. When you place your hand down on it, it balloons out around your hand. Too dangerous. Not as firm as comparable mattresses. It had all the best reviews and tests listed, but in person it just was not firm enough or have enough air flow.

I cannot believe it had good reviews. I received it today my husband was putting in on the crib when i heard the plastic. Is hard plastic on top, loud, it would crnkle and wake baby everytime. I will return immediately and buy memory foam one. I am dissapointed for the waste of time and also i used my baby registry discount.

I really liked that this was highly-rated and had a Greenguard certification. I had to return the first one I purchased because after two months of an infant lying on it, it had formed a deep ridge in the center on both sides. You can see it in my picture, even without any weight on it. It was much worse with the weight of a baby on it. When my son started rolling, he often couldn't roll out of the middle. Not safe at all. I called Sealy to see how they could address my concerns and I was informed that this product is not manufactured by Sealy at all. This is made by Kolcraft. After calling to speak with them, they agreed to send a replacement. The replacement mattress, unfortunately, has the same issues as the first. After calling Kolcraft again and persistently explaining the safety concerns of a sagging crib mattress, they will only send another of the same mattress. They refused to refund me, said they had "done me a favor" by sending me the first replacement, and that the ridge in the center "isn't really that bad" and that this sort of thing is normal for any crib mattress. When I'm looking for a firm, safe surface for my baby to sleep on, something that "isn't really that bad" is not acceptable. I finally called Amazon and their customer service department was amazing. They agreed to a refund and I will be returning this mattress and finding something else.

Terrible quality. After only two month of use there is an indentation on it! My baby is only 11 lbs!! Besides, it feels very plasticy... Don't buy!

I rarely write negative reviews but I felt this one was necessary because it pertains to a mattress for babies. I appreciate any and all reviews when considering an item for my baby. This is just my experience and I know it's helpful to me to get as much feedback as possible when purchasing something as important as your infant's mattress. I did lots of research and it seemed that this is a firm mattress, which is what infants need. That was one of my top priorities when buying our baby's mattress. I finally decided on this one after reading many good reviews and reading the specs of the mattress. It seemed that it surpassed the minimum coils recommended and I thought that meant this mattress would hold up well. Unfortunately, within two days of my 4 month (15 pound) baby using it, it already had a dent right where we lay her down. I decided to keep using it and now after about 3 weeks the dent in the middle makes the mattress unusable. It's very disappointing and frustrating because now we need to rush to find a new one since I would not trust letting my child sleep on this one any longer. It's just not safe for a baby that turns and can get stuck in the crevice this (supposed-to-be) "firm" mattress now has.

My husband and I did a ton of research before buying a mattress for our first baby. We ended up buying the Sealy Firm Rest because it had great reviews and was reasonably priced. Our son weighed about 9 lbs when he started sleeping in his crib at night. After only 1 week of use there was a very noticeable indention where he laid. We were very disappointed in the quality of this mattress and frustrated that now we had to go out and buy a new one.

So incredibly cheap. It's more like an air mattress. There is air that can't escape the vinyl material that the outer shell is made of. If a child lays on it, air is displaced and it becomes like an air mattress- that can't be comfortable.

My kids like to jump on their beds. Eventually the plastic cover breaks and we have to buy new ones. Not worth it.

Although the product summary and photos looked promising, the mattress lasted only 3 months ! My toddler poked a hole and peeled back the flimsy covering down to the springs!

I cannot believe why this has such good ratings. It's the worst mattress ever. No support at all. You sink right in. Feels like sleeping on air like a balloon. Would not recommend for any age.

We just received this mattress. And upon unwrapping it we found three sets of holes in the mattress. Very annoying to buy a brand new mattress and get it with holes in it already.

It does the job for us as a second be at grandma and grandpas but i would not recommend it as a everyday use. The quality is not as expected.
