Colgate mattresses (a popular brand) are approximately 27½" wide x 52" long. Add a few inches on each side for the crib itself -- more if you'd like a sleigh design or something else that is elaborate.

I may be wrong, but aren't all crib mattresses the same size? A crib could appear larger because of the detail to it, but when it comes down to it, a startdard crib (I'm not talking porta crib) are all the same size.

Re: Average size of a crib

The standard mattress is 52" now you have to add a few inches on each side depedning on the style. If the crib turns into a full size bed then I believe the outside dimensions are 58"
