The Federal government regulates the size for all standard crib mattresses via the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA). The minimum size is 27 1/4” x 51 5/8” with a thickness not exceeding 6 inches. The goal is to have the crib mattress fit either very snug or moderately snug in the crib. A good rule of thumb is that no more than two fingers of space should exist between the side of the mattress and the crib frame. Any more than that, the crib mattress is too small and could be a suffocation and entrapment hazard.

The reason: There's no real "standard," even though the size and thickness of all crib mattress are regulated by the Federal government. The law states that the minimum size must be 27 1/4” x 51 5/8” and not thicker than 6 inches. Still, there can be a slight variation in width, length, and depth among crib mattress. So before heading to the store, make sure to have the exact measurements of your crib.Width and length:In both the U.S. and Canada, crib mattress size may range between 27 5/8" to 28 5/8" wide and 51 3/4" to 53" in length.Depth: The depth of the crib mattress can vary even more—a fact that can be quite frustrating for new parents trying to find the best option for their new bundle of joy. Coil crib mattresses tend to be on the thicker side—between 5 to 6"—whereas foam crib mattresses are more on the order of 4 to 6".Firmness: Keep in mind that a firm mattress is preferred over soft mattresses. In fact, the firmer the better. Soft sleeping surfaces create a suffocation hazard for infants and increase the risk of SIDS—the leading cause of death in infants in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Put it to the test: Press on the mattress in the center and at the edges. Does it snap back readily? You don't want it to conform to the shape of your baby's head. Fit: It's also important to focus on whether the crib mattress is centered on the platform and fits snugly in the crib frame. A good rule of thumb: If you can squeeze more than two fingers between the side of the mattress and the crib frame, the mattress is too small and could lead to suffocation or entrapment. While you don't want to cut corners when it comes to buying a crib mattress, you also don't have to blow your entire nursery budget. According to Consumer Reports, a good quality mattress can cost anywhere from $90 to $200. .As a new parent, there are so many questions and so much to learn!
