Mattress area 52" × 28"(standard full-size crib mattress)53.75" outside length29.75"
The Hudson's footprint is only about 1.75" longer and wider than the mattress inside it, because the frame is slim. That's on the compact end for full-size cribs.

It takes a standard full-size crib mattress (52" × 28" inside). Because the frame adds under 2" in each direction, the Hudson is a little smaller than many convertible cribs, which often run 55–58" long once you count chunkier posts or a fixed headboard.

Will it fit? The quick math

Example: Hudson in a 10x10 nursery

windowdoor swing36" drawerspaceHudson 53¾" × 29¾"Dresser 60" × 20"Gliderrecline33" walkway10 ft × 10 ft (120" × 120"), drawn to scale
Hudson on the left wall, a typical 60" × 20" 6-drawer dresser on the right wall, glider in the corner. The green zone is the 36" you need to open drawers and stand. Scale: 1 ft = 48 px.

On a 120" wall, the 53.75" crib leaves about 66" free, so you could even fit a 3-drawer dresser beside it instead. With a dresser opposite, the floor between the crib and the dresser's drawer zone is about 33", so you can walk between them even with drawers open. The crib wall has no window, and the glider is clear of the door swing.

Smaller room? In a 9x10 (108" × 120"), the same layout gives about 58" between the crib and a 20"-deep dresser, which still covers the 36" drawer zone. See crib and dresser layouts for a 9x10.

Add a 53.75" × 29.75" crib to your own room and see exactly where it fits next to your dresser, door and window.

After the crib years: toddler bed and daybed

The Hudson converts to a toddler bed (the conversion kit comes in the box) and a daybed. The frame stays the same size, so you don't need to change the layout when it converts. It moves to the toddler bed stage with a guardrail on one side; plan that open side away from the door, so it isn't the first thing your toddler walks into.

Placement tips

Follow Babyletto's assembly instructions and lower the mattress platform as your baby starts to sit and pull up. The AAP's safe-sleep guidance is a firm, flat mattress and fitted sheet with nothing else in the crib.

Common questions

What are the dimensions of the Babyletto Hudson crib?

53.75" long, 29.75" wide and 35" tall assembled, with a 52" × 28" inside area for a standard crib mattress (Babyletto's listed specs).

Will the Babyletto Hudson fit in a small nursery?

Usually, yes. It needs about 54" of wall and 30" out from the wall, plus a walkway. It fits comfortably in 9x10 and 10x10 rooms, and in many 8x9 rooms with a smaller dresser.

Does the Hudson crib need a special mattress?

No. It takes a standard full-size crib mattress, which fits the 52" × 28" interior.

Does the Hudson get bigger when it converts to a toddler bed?

No. The frame keeps the same footprint as a toddler bed and daybed, so your layout can stay the same.

How much space should be around a crib?

Plan on 24–30" of clear floor along the open side to walk and lift your baby, keep it away from windows and cords, and keep 36" in front of any dresser so drawers can open.
