What to look for in a Baby Crib Mattress:
The crib mattress should fit snugly next to the crib so that there is
no gap. If two adult fingers can be placed between the mattress and the
crib, the mattress should be immediately replaced.
Do not use plastic packaging materials, such as dry cleaning bags, as
mattress covers. Plastic film can cling to children's faces and should
never be in or near the crib.
Put your baby to sleep on his or her back or side in a crib with a
firm, flat crib mattress and no soft bedding underneath. Talk to your
pediatrician about which sleeping position is best for you child.
The crib mattress is one of the most
important purchases you will make for the nursery since a good mattress is
thought to reduce the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). For this
reason, consumers with a finite budget for a crib and mattress should
consider a less expensive crib and purchase one of the better crib
mattresses. The difference in cost between a low cost/ low quality mattress
and one of the top mattresses is only thirty or forty dollars. The crib
mattress rated #1 by a leading consumer magazine for the past 10 years, and
top pick by the Baby Bargain Book - the
Colgate Classica 1 foam
crib mattress (a high density foam mattress) should cost about $110 while a
low density foam crib mattress with a thin vinyl cover should retail from
$49 to $60. For the safety of your newborn child, the price difference is
negligible.
Great Beginnings best selling baby mattress
is the
Colgate Classica 3 foam crib mattress. The
Colgate Classice 3 crib mattress differs in degrees of firmness on each
side. This type of crib mattress is often called a dual zone crib mattress.
A super firm side for newborns and infants and a less firm side for more
comfort for toddlers, the Classica III mattress uses the same foam as
the top rated Classica crib mattress series for its firmer side. Made with
non-allergenic, orthopedic foam with ventilated border and a waterproof,
nylon reinforced triple laminate cover. The Classica III by Colgate is
lightweight for easy handling weighing just 6 lbs.
