Sealy crib mattresses offer a wide variety of features and benefits. Understanding each of these prior to making a purchase maximizes satisfaction with the product that is ultimately purchased. There are many trade-offs to consider when buying a crib mattress. Ultimately, the goal is to find the mattress that provides comfort and, most important of all, allows one's child to sleep through the night. As with most commercial items, the trade-off of quality and price exists with crib mattresses, but even the least expensive Sealy crib mattress remains a quality product worthy of consideration.
On the other end of the spectrum, the features and benefits are impressive. It is important to understand the different ways in which Sealy enhances its products when one is evaluating crib mattresses for purchase. Different types of inner coils, various materials, even sleep aids incorporated into the mattress are included in Sealy's list of features and enhancements. Safety is a parent's ultimate concern, and there are many things to consider in this important category. All mattresses manufactured in the United States must meet federal regulations regarding flammability. There is more than one way to meet this standard, and understanding how Sealy lives up to this responsibility is an important consideration when buying a mattress that one's child spends nearly half of his or her early years sleeping on. Sealy, and the mattress manufacturing community in general, ascribes different names to the various levels of comfort associated with its products. Sealy uses the following terms to describe the comfort levels of its mattresses:
provides soft and fluffy surface Baby mattresses limited to plush for safety reasons Not as plush as Ultra but still quite soft and fluffy Not as firm as Firm comfort level Comfort level firm but not hard Firmest mattress Sealy offers It is easy to see that whether a person prefers a very firm mattress or enjoys the soft plushness of the more luxurious varieties, Sealy has a mattress that is sure to please. When initially reviewing mattresses, the first thing that many notice is the material covering the mattress. Although this is an important factor, to really judge the total quality of a mattress, one must consider what is on the inside as well as the outside. Consider the following attributes when comparing choices. When evaluating a mattress for purchase, consider the material that stuffs the mattress. High-quality, hypoallergenic stuffing is available. If hypoallergenic material is not a concern, make sure that the stuffing is of a high-quality material.
By the time one's baby needs a crib mattress, parents normally have a good feel for what type of sleeper he or she is. Consider the aspects of the mattress that make a baby comfortable. Of course, comfort is important, but crib mattresses are not excessively plush as this could cause a suffocation hazard if the baby rolls over onto his or her belly. Not all Sealy crib mattresses offer the same firmness and material; one should be sure to choose a mattress appropriate for their baby. Innerspring mattresses made by Sealy contain coils within the mattresses; the shape and size of these springs contribute to the overall feel of the mattress when lying on it. Sealy incorporates other shapes to enhance performance Size of wire used to make coil matters Smaller gauge wire makes weaker spring Coil quantity dictates uniformity Uniformity affects feel of mattress Single-tempered springs eventually sag Double-tempered springs are better Obviously, there is much to consider when choosing a mattress for a baby's crib.
Proper support is as important to a baby in his or her formative years as it is to adults. Understanding the inner construction of crib mattresses ensures a well-informed decision. This is one of the most important considerations when evaluating a crib mattress. All mattresses must meet federal regulations that ascribe flammability standards. There are a couple ways of doing this. Chemicals can be added to the mattress to retard flammability. Flammable materials is not something most parents want their child lying on. Another method is to use materials that are flame resistant, either naturally or by design, without the addition of chemicals. It is for the consumer to decide which method is right for him or her. There are many varieties of Sealy crib mattresses of different composition and feel. A few of the most popular are as follows: Sealy's 125 years of experience is made obvious in the quality and craftsmanship of the Nature Couture Soybean Serenity mattress.

The ticking on the mattress is made of totally organic cotton and is tear resistant for many years of reliable quality. Parents that buy this mattress for their first baby no doubt have the pleasure of using it with any additional children that they may have.

Additionally, the Tender Vibes model is non-allergenic and treated with non-toxic fire retardant chemicals to hinder flammability while keeping one's baby safe from toxic chemicals.
