Memory foam and cosleeping

[seaduck]

We are buying a new mattress and have a 3 month old, we'd quite like a memory foam hybrid but can't really find any info if this is suitable or not if we have her in bed with us? She spends most of the night in her own bed but inevitably joins us for the last couple of hours. She's going to be doing this for a little while yet if my older two are anything to go by.

It feels like it wouldn't be great if she sinks in. Any experiences?

We have one and I'm finding cosleeping really hard - it's far too soft

We have one and co sleep now but DD only started co sleeping after six months. Also, I find she pushes us right to the edge of the bed and then the foam sort of remembers that shape so it makes it easier to fall out. We've had to prop up the edge by putting a pillow underneath it which isn't ideal but hopefully will sort itself out when she eventually goes to her own bed

We have a memory foam Emma mattress and it is one of the reasons (besides the fact I can’t sleep!) that we can’t co-sleep. It’s not that the baby sinks in especially, it’s that you and your partner create dips that make it easy for them to roll into and very hard for them to get out of (in our experience anyway). On the odd occasion when he needs to lie next to me to fall asleep, I’m awake the whole time and then put him back in his cot.

He comes into our bed in the morning when he’s awake just for a cuddle, and it’s like crawling through sand for him. Very difficult to move!

Yes, I think it confirms it for me, I think we'll look at some other options. I guess in a year or so if we want some we could get a memory foam topper or something, once we have definitely stopped co sleeping. Thanks all.
