Potty-training accidents are easier to manage when the mattress already has a removable waterproof cover. These two standard crib-size mattresses flip from a firm infant surface to a softer toddler surface, so they can move from a convertible crib into many toddler beds.

Our Waterproof Toddler Mattress Picks
| Pick | Toddler surface | Listed dimensions | Waterproof part |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hiccapop | Softer memory foam | Conflicting values: 52 x 27 x 5.4 and 52 x 27.5 x 6 inches | Removable jacquard cover |
| Sleepah | Softer memory foam | 52 x 28 x 6 inches | Removable cotton cover |
Both are crib-size mattresses. They are not twin mattresses, and Hiccapop expressly excludes mini cribs and playards. Check the toddler mattress size guide before assuming a toddler-bed label proves fit.

Hiccapop's toddler surface uses softer memory foam, while the reverse is the firm infant side. The waterproof jacquard cover unzips for machine washing and drying.
The dimension conflict is the key concern. Structured data says 52 by 27.5 by 6 inches, while other listing copy says 52 by 27 by 5.4 inches. Verify the current product label and your bed frame before ordering. Owners also reported stuck or faulty cover zippers. One severe arrival report described bugs and illness; inspect all packaging and mattress surfaces and reject any contaminated or damaged delivery.
Why It Works
- A designated softer side is available for the approved toddler stage.
- The waterproof cover removes for accident cleanup.
- Rounded corners target standard crib and toddler-bed frames.
- The foam is listed as CertiPUR-US certified.
What To Keep In Mind
- Conflicting dimensions make fit verification essential.
- A zipper failure limits washability.
- Arrival contamination requires immediate rejection.
- Do not use it in a mini crib or playard.

Construction
Made in USA with imported cover
Sleepah pairs a softer toddler side with a firm infant side. Its removable cotton outer cover is listed as waterproof and washable, and its stated 52-by-28-by-6-inch size fits the usual crib-size toddler-bed category.
CertiPUR-US is tied to the foam. Other certification wording should be checked against a current certificate rather than extended to every component. The product-specific feedback set is thin. One isolated buyer said a mattress bought for a four-year-old “broke” within an hour but did not identify the part or failure, so inspect the shape, seams, cover, and zipper before use.
Why It Works
- The stated dimensions are consistent.
- The cotton cover can be removed after an accident.
- A separate toddler surface avoids guessing which side to use.
- The foam certification scope is identifiable.
What To Keep In Mind
- A waterproof cover cannot guarantee the core stays dry forever.
- The breakage report is serious but too vague to generalize.
- Confirm the bed's mattress-size requirement before buying.
- Wash only the removable cover, not the foam.
How to Choose
First, confirm whether the toddler bed uses a standard crib mattress or a twin. Measure the frame and compare the current official dimensions. Hiccapop needs extra verification because two dimension sets conflict. Sleepah's listed size is clearer, but installation still must be snug and flat.
Next, check stage orientation. Use the side identified for toddlers only when the crib, bed, and mattress instructions allow it. Softer does not mean that extra padding should be added. The toddler firmness guide and toddler mattress thickness guide explain what those labels change.
For cleanup, remove the cover promptly, follow its care label, spot-clean the core as directed, and let every part dry before reassembly. Read how to clean a toddler mattress and how to protect a toddler mattress for a practical rotation plan.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are these twin-size toddler mattresses?
No. Both are standard crib-size mattresses intended for compatible convertible cribs and toddler beds.
Which mattress has consistent dimensions?
Sleepah lists 52 by 28 by 6 inches. Hiccapop has conflicting width and thickness values that need verification.
Can I machine-wash the mattress core?
No. The removable cover is washable; the foam core is not.
Which side should a toddler use?
Use the side labeled for toddlers once the product and bed instructions say the child is ready to switch.
Do I still need a mattress protector?
That depends on the mattress instructions and your laundry routine. Any extra protector must fit smoothly without changing the surface.
What if a new mattress is damaged or contaminated?
Do not use it. Keep the packaging, document the condition, and request a replacement or return.
Does waterproof mean every accident stays out of the core?
No. Check the cover and seams regularly and replace damaged protection.
