Can I put a regular crib mattress in my daughter's play pen?
I want it to be a little more comfortable for her, but would a regular crib mattress fit her play pen?

No the dimensions are not the same and a mattress should be form-fitting so that an infant can’t suffocate through the cracks
No, I don’t think they are the same dimensions (not safe if the baby rolls off of mattress and gets stuck which may cause suffocation). They might sell a specialty item like this, though.
We put a couple of thick blankets at the bottom. My daughter seems fine like that.
NO, it won’t fit!
no, a pack and play is smaller. I bought a padded mattress pad and a velour sheet for my son’s pack and play and it’s pretty comfy, though he rarely sleeps in it. You can also have a piece of foam cut to fit if you feel it’s necessary.
