Is there a size between a crib mattress and a twin mattress? When transitioning from a crib to a big girl/boy bed - is that a twin mattress? For some reason I thought there would be a kids size mattress but all I'm finding is twin sizes. Thanks for your help!
We just put the crib mattress on the floor. When she stayed on that and stopped rolling off, we put her in a twin bed.
Toddler beds use the crib mattress. I say save your money and get a twin neither of my boys stayed in a toddler bed very long.
Yes, toddler beds use the crib mattress and twin beds are longer than the crib mattress. Some people call the toddler bed a big boy bed because it doesn't have the 4 sides like a crib. I put both my kids from crib to twin and called them big girl/boy beds.
S.
nope. twin is it. Amazing how much bigger a twin bed is!
There is something that used to be called a Hollywood bed. We have two
window seats that use this. Also I easily got a frame for one as an extra bed in a small bed room. Ask at a big store like Sit and Sleep. It is smalled than a
twin, but OK for adults if they are not too fat. They ;make a nice day bed or
substitute for a sofa that can be used by guests.
I slept on such a bed for years as a young adult and to this day I sleep to the very edge of the bed. My husbands teases me about this.
Probably because of this, I can't stand sleeping in a king sized bed.
There are cribs, toddler beds that use the crib mattress and twins.
Check IKEA. They have these extendable beds. As wide as a twin but shorter, then you can add the extension pieces in as you need the length. Comes in 3 pieces and I think that there are two styles and a few different colored frames to choose from.
Here's a link. They don't depict the mattress well, online.

I've seen them on craigslist from time to time as well, if you're looking to save a buck.
