Choosing a Crib Mattress There are a lot of choices in the crib mattress category, so choosing the right one can be intimidating. Here are a few quick tips to keep in mind as you begin your search: Don’t compare the attributes of your adult mattress to your child’s crib mattress. Firmer is better when it comes to babies. Your baby’s soft bones and muscles need more support than an adult’s. When choosing a foam mattress, the firmer and heavier the foam - and the faster it returns to its original flat shape when weight is removed - the better. The innerspring design is the most classic. The more layers and the higher quality those layers are, the better the mattress. Look for quality materials in the innerspring mattress comfort layers that won’t compress over time. All materials that come in contact with your baby’s skin should be safe. Look for Greenguard and CertiPUR-US seals of approval. The firmer the foam - and the faster the foam returns to its original flat shape when weight is removed - the better the mattress view larger FAQ What is the difference between a foam mattress and an innerspring mattress? Innerspring mattresses are a tried-and-true industry standard and a great option. One of the biggest advantages of foam mattresses is that they usually weigh between eight and 14 pounds, as compared to an innerspring mattress which can weigh 20+ pounds. This does make a difference when changing the sheets. In the end it comes down to personal preference, and there is no wrong decision. Do all crib mattresses come in the same size? How should the mattress fit in the crib? The size range for all standard crib mattresses is regulated by the Federal government. The minimum crib mattress size is is 27 1/4 inches x 51 5/8 inches, and not thicker than six inches. Cribs are also regulated, but their interior dimensions have a "plus or minus" tolerance from the standard 28 inch x 52 inch rectangle. Therefore, depending on the specific crib and mattress combination, the mattress may be either very snug or moderately snug in the crib. The Consumer Product Safety Commission sets the standards for crib and crib mattress sizes and how the combination should fit. Why are crib mattresses so hard? Will it be uncomfortable for my baby? For infants, the crib mattress is much more than just a sleeping surface; it’s their growth and developmental center. In fact, infants will spend up to 70% of their day on a crib mattress. They need a firm, flat, even surface to maximize their development. The firm surface is particularly important both during periods of sleep and when the infant begins to become more active in the crib. They need the firm surface as they begin to push up, turn, and eventually stand in the crib. A solid base provides the resistance necessary for developing and strengthening muscles. Firmer is better.
