Sherie, I'd never thought about doing that with the pillow under the matress! Although with Blake's ferrari bed I won't have to bother as it's made 'car' shaped so it's high up about 25cm above the matress around the head.
Kellee, we actually put the cot mattress at the side of the bed so when DD fell out of bed she had a soft landing. I think she only fell out twice though and that was months after and we'd already moved the mattress. Gotta say, it was funny when she fell cause we'd hear a bang, go running into her room and she'd be fast asleep on the floor! It wouldn't have disturbed her at all!
Kellee - we did similar to wardy girl - we put the cot mattress on the floor as I was concerned if we put up the rail he wouldn't learn to not fall out as he had the tendancy in the cot to sleep tight up against the side and I thought he may do the same with the rail. He only fell out twice (and they were actually weeks after he started sleeping in the bed) which I was quite suprised at. We now don't have the cot mattress cause he's in a high bed so back to having sides again but he's still fine if sleeping in a normal bed - can even turn himself all the way round to be the wrong way up and not manage to fall out.
