The mattress is beautiful! It fits snuggly in the bassinet, there are no gaps or loose areas which was extremely important for me.

I don’t think this is a safe product, and wouldn’t recommend it.
The wool compresses, and the instructions state that you should vary the sleeping area so that the compression is even across the pad, and this is totally impractical with a bassinet – potentially dangerous, even.
Because you really can’t alternate where your infant is going to sleep, you end up with a baby-shaped depression in the center, effectively creating something like a moses pod or bumper, both of which are advised against for safe sleep due to the increased incidence of SIDS associated with anything but a completely flat sleep surface.
If this product is going to continue to be sold, I would urge Home of Wool to pre-compress the pads so that this divet doesn’t occur and babies can sleep safely.
We only bought the Halo because we thought this was an option for the mattress, so now I’m out not only the cost of the mattress, sheets and puddle pad, but also the Halo bassinet itself since I’m not comfortable using the polyurethane mattress it came with.
We’re going to scrap it all and get a mini-crib with a non-toxic mattress that won’t compress.
One extra star for the puddle pad, which does appear to be a good protector against accidents. I would love one for our king size bed, and wish I’d spent the money on that instead.

I have no doubt this is the best mattress for newborns. Me and my husband purchased the HALO and we were not satisfied with the original mattress that came with it. It had a horrible smell and it was too soft. This is why I started researching organic clean mattresses and I found Home of Wool. We purchased their baby HALO mattress a few months before our son was born. Once I gave birth and came home I was impressed to see my baby being so calm in the bassinet. He was sleeping so well and I feel like the wool stuffing was like a warm hug for him. The Home of Wool mattress is firm and thin, which was super important for me having read all the guidelines from pediatricians and experts in child safety. It is very supportive and fits perfectly, there are no gaps between the mattress and the bassinet. The feeling of knowing that my baby is sleeping on a mattress that minimizes any hazards is what keeps me calm and confident I made the best choice.
As per the instructions, we flipped and rotated the mattress regularly and the wool stuffing compressed in about 2 weeks. I also purchased a protector and fitted sheets and I totally recommend them!
