Different types of crib mattress
If you are looking for a crib mattress you will come across three general types; foam mattresses, innerspring mattresses and organic mattresses. Let’s take a brief look at what you can expect from each type of mattress.
Foam crib mattresses
This type of mattress is a very popular option with many new parents. There are two main positives of a foam mattress; one is pricing which is generally the cheapest of the different types of crib mattress on the market, the other is the weight of the mattress. A foam crib mattress generally weighs around seven pounds which makes it very easy to clean and to handle in general. An example of a good foam crib mattress is the Moonlight Slumber Little Dreamer which is available to purchase on Amazon for around $197.
Innerspring crib mattresses
This type of mattress is generally slightly more expensive than a foam crib mattress. They tend to be firmer as they have coils which are there to provide support. Those that provide the best performance tend to have more than 150 coils with a gauge of 15.5 or lower. This gauge number means that the wire used is thicker.
Organic crib mattresses
If you buy an organic crib mattress then you have the extra security that it is made from completely safe products. This is important if a young baby is sleeping on it. Your child will definitely not be exposed to potentially harmful chemicals or allergens due to the organic material these mattresses are manufactured from. One of the best organic crib mattresses you can buy is the Colgate Eco Classica III Dual firmness Eco-Friendlier Crib mattress which is available on Amazon for around $198.
You can see that there is a lot to consider when you are buying a crib mattress. It may not be as much fun as choosing baby clothes but it’s just as important.
