You've picked out a crib, but where do you even start to select a baby crib mattress? Mattress shopping may not be as fun as selecting the crib itself, but it's an important purchase. Just think: It's normal for newborns and infants to spend 15 to 17 hours per day sleeping, according to the National Sleep Foundation. You don't want your baby spending that much time on any old thing. A standard crib mattress is typically sold separately, so here's what to look for when you're crib mattress shopping.Mattress MattersThere are certain characteristics you should be looking for when mattress shopping -- and other factors that don't matter as much.Keep an eye out for these qualities: FirmnessA firm baby crib mattress is part of the American Academy of Pediatrics' guidelines for safe sleeping, as it reduces the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) and suffocation.
A mushy mattress can conform to your baby's shape, which increases the potential for your baby to rebreathe carbon dioxide, a leading risk factor for SIDS. Crib mattress firmness can vary, so trek to the baby superstore or boutique and put mattresses to the test."When your hand is pressed firmly into the mattress, it should spring back immediately when you lift your hand," says Laura Reno, the program director of family support for SIDS organization First Candle. This test applies to both foam and innerspring mattresses, both of which can do the job. Don't skip this important step. In general, think brick. A mattress that seems too hard for you isn't too hard for your baby. Snug FitThe mattress you select should fit tightly in the crib, according to the AAP and the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). "You shouldn't be able to fit two fingers between the mattress and the crib on any of the crib's four sides," says Nikki Fleming, a CPSC spokesperson. To prevent head entrapment and suffocation, a standard crib mattress size is about 27 inches by 51 inches.
Thickness can't exceed 6 inches. A snug-fitting crib mattress can prevent your baby from getting wedged between the mattress and the crib. If possible, pair the mattress with the crib you're buying and purchase them together so you know they're a good fit. No Dual FirmnessA dual firmness or convertible innerspring mattress has an extra firm side for infants and a cushier standard or memory foam side for toddlers. "Don't buy in to the memory foam craze," Reno says. "Soft or padded is never good for a baby on any product, but especially a mattress." The potential to rebreathe carbon dioxide and raise the risk of SIDS is there, even for toddlers.Nice But Not NecessaryWhen it comes to selecting a safe crib mattress, firmness and fit are the two most important factors to consider, say both Reno and Fleming. For your baby's safety, skip the bumpers, blankets, pillows, stuffed animals and sleep positioners. There should be nothing in the crib except your baby and a tight-fitted sheet. "Bare is best," Fleming says.
Beyond firmness and fit, there are two more major crib mattress features you may consider: All-Natural Products And Eco-FriendlinessEco-friendly or organic mattresses are made from plant-based components, such as certified cotton covers, shredded coconut shell, natural latex and plant oil. These elements are pricey to produce. Be prepared to pay up to three times as much for an organic crib mattress as a conventional one. If you decide to go this route, the same rules apply. The mattress should be firm and fit snugly in your baby's crib. Greenguard CertificationA crib mattress that has been Greenguard certified means it has been screened for over 10,000 chemicals and has passed Greenguard's rigorous standards for indoor air quality. It won't emit volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the air your baby breathes. VOCs have been linked to asthma, allergies and lung infections in infants, according to the American Chemical Society.
