Crib mattress

I've never really looked at them but I have seen that their is a whole aisle in BRU. How do you know which one to choose

We need to transition Logan from the cradle into his crib since its getting cramped in their.

Please tell me which one you got and why.

Or perhaps their is a website that explains what type of mattress is better for babies.

Thanks

We got a baby beautyrest. I let dh pick it...he's the mattress expert.

Re: Crib mattress

I measured the actual crib inside dimensions, then picked the mattress that fit it closest. Yes, there is a "standard" crib mattress size, but they vary by an inch or so. I wanted the smallest gap possible. I figured that by the time DC really care about the comfort of the mattress, and are heavy enough to compress the springs, etc., we'll have to buy a twin mattress anyway, and we'll look at other factors then.

I got a Colgate Classica which is one of a few recommended in the "Baby Bargains" book based on parent reviews.
