How are you all choosing your crib mattress?

OMG the amount of decisions that need to be made for registering and deciding what you want for your baby - it's crazy!

How did you all decide which crib mattress you would buy for your baby's crib?

The salesman at Behrs did a great demo for us and helped us with our decision.

We also got ours at Behrs - the guy Sean I think his name was, jumped up and down on it telling us that the harder and firmer the mattress the better because it has been show to prevent SIDS. It was like 100 bucks but was discounted because we bought other stuff.

I got the Colgate Classica because it was recommended in the Baby Bargains book, and all their other advice seemed right on. I'm glad I got foam -- its so light which matters a lot for changing the sheet.

We are currently looking for a crib mattress even though she will be in the cradle for awhile, we want her room all set up Chat Icon

We've seen them range from $40 - $200 + and heard it's better with just foam, then we hear to get springs (coils) so much to decide...

I just found this on Consumer Reports...

May 2004
How to buy a crib mattress

A mattress is as important as the crib itself. If it’s too small, it could leave gaps in the crib that could trap your baby. If it’s too soft, it might conform to your baby’s shape, causing a suffocation risk. If you’re working within a tight budget, spend a little less money on the crib so you can put it toward a better mattress.

Mattresses made of innersprings or dense foam are acceptable choices. Expect to pay $50 to $150. (At the lower end of that range, expect a foam mattress; at the higher end, a firm innerspring mattress with a high-quality covering.)

What to look for:

Check for firmness. Buy the firmest mattress you can find. Press on the mattress both in the center and at the edges. It should snap back and should not conform to your hand.

Test the fit. A typical crib mattress fits most full-size cribs and is 28x52 inches. Still, check the fit in the store before you buy. If you can squeeze more than two fingers between the mattress and the crib, the mattress is too small.

Consider the mattress cover. Either fabric or vinyl is acceptable. Fabric breathes more than vinyl, but ventilation holes in a vinyl covering help air circulate. The more vents the better. A thicker or layered vinyl covering better resists stains, punctures, and tears.
