I don't know about buy it second hand. I had one with my 4th DD but she was a bad sleeper not the snugglebeds fault. I think it worked fine. I do prefer a bassinet to the snugglebed so have got a bassinet so I can have bub in my room beside the bed.
I had a tetra mattress in DS's bassinet (I didn't know about the snugglebeds 15 years ago!) and also bought him the pillow for when he was older in a cot. I bought it on recommendation from one of my cousins. We were in QLD at the time and it was hot, but the mattress seemed to stay cool, and the air can flow through it - it's breathable (if that makes sense?!).
We used the First Years Safe and Secure sleeper when DS was nb in our bed co-sleeping. It didn't last long though, he grew so quickly and he was falling off the scales! But it is definitely a good start.
We had a safe and secure sleeper, and it was good to go in the cot when she was little, kept her "enclosed" like a bassinette but we didn't have to worry about it. Useless for co-sleeping unless you have a king bed or just you and bub sleep in a double as it takes up so much room!!!!
She only fit in it for about 6 weeks though.
We wanted a snuggle bed but like you we wanted to buy it for the security, I thought it looked to squishy.
We have a snuggle bed and DD loves it and sleeps in it for her night sleeps. Yes they are squishy but not like a soft doona iykwim it kind of moulds to her shape in a way, the stuffing is bark so totally breathable.
TBH DD will be out of it before she can roll over she is almost touching both ends. I have the snuggle bed lying in her cot and she has slept peacefully for up to 10 hrs straight. I don't know te other one your talking about but believe me when i say there is no way i would put dd in something that i believed to be unsafe - we have been through far too much to have her.
