RE: Re: nighttime seems to be getting worse...

[Guest guest]

We were able to get a twin-size piece of memory foam at Target for around

$40 (I think that was the sale price and it seems to be on sale quite

often). You might want to try them before Costco.

Re: nighttime seems to be getting worse...

Hi ,

We are due for a Costco trip, so I'll check out their mattresses this

weekend for sure. We've been wanting to move Ava out of our bed for

at least a month now...so maybe a nice comfy mattress in her crib will

help with the transition :-)

Take care!
