Crib Mattress

Yesterday I was in BBB and ordered my nursery furniture. They showed me some crib mattresses that were extremely expensive. Does anyone have a recommendation of the best mattress to get or what you spent on yours?? Thanks

i need to know this info as well, i have been putting this off because i don't know what to get!

i was initially leaning towards a colgate mattress in the $100 range, but can't decide between a coil or foam. the foam we saw in belini was just way too hard for my taste. also, the mattresses they were selling there were way over $100. Chat Icon

Re: Crib Mattress

We got the Serta Perfect Sleeper Mattress at BRU. It was $129.99. It has a fire blocker thing on it and one side is a infant mattress and you flip it over and the other side is a toddler mattress. We felt is was worth the extra $$.
We would have bought a tempurpedic if they made them for infants. We sleep on a tempurpedic and love it.

That's what I have as well. Having the foam is great since its so light -- makes changing the sheets much easier!!

Be aware when buying the mattress that while coils are sturdier, in addition to being more Chat Icon, they are also heavier. As long as it's a firm mattress, it'll be fine.

Picture changing sheets at 3am because they've exploded out of their diaper, gotten sick, etc. You'll wish you had the lighter weight mattress.

What I would do is trhow the mattress in the crib, then try lifting it up. The easiest to lift but firmest mattress is the one you buy.

eta. I thought mine was about $260 but that was 4 years ago.

Re: Crib Mattress

I am opting for the cheaper one. Not too cheap, but in between. imo, I would rather spend the money when she is in a "big girl bed".

I didn't really compare, I went by the Baby Bargains recommendation. It is very, very firm, which is healthy for baby. My daughter is sleeping well. Chat Icon
