The bumper density of our Grand size is lower so an older child can use the sides as a comfy pillow. We also wanted to create the correct density to make for a good tummy time aide. When designing our Deluxe cover, we wanted to make sure the bumpers were firm enough to prevent children from rolling out, as well as preventing adults from rolling onto the child when co-sleeping.

To make closing the zipper easier, you'll need to gather the two sides of the fabric (along the zipper) before attempting to zipper it closed.
