A Quality Crib Mattress Means a More Restful Baby
Did you know that a crib mattress is one of major purchases that parents make for their comfort and well being of their baby? So you need to purchase the best quality mattress that you can afford from the range of crib mattresses that are available.
The comfort and well-being of your baby is paramount so it is important that the crib mattress that they will spend the majority of their time on is both comfortable and durable. If your baby feels comfortable on their crib mattress they will sleep sounder, be less restless and you will have a happier baby.
Funnily enough parents may spend weeks agonizing over what color or pattern bedding to choose but tend to disregard the importance in choosing the right crib mattress.
There are two main types of crib mattresses that you can choose from – foam
Although a coil crib mattress with a high coil count of 150 coils or more is the better option, it is the amount of steel in the border rods which circle the top and bottom of the mattress and along the edges of the mattress which provide the extra support needed for active toddlers. Border rods in crib mattresses not only provide support but also allow for better weight distribution over the mattresses surface. This reduces mattress sagging. Crib mattresses with border rods are far better quality but not necessarily more expensive.
Just remember to spend as much time with choosing your crib mattress as you do with all your other baby purchases

The major problem with a foam crib mattress is they’re made with polyurethane – which the National Association of State Fire Marshals calls solid gasoline. There are tons of chemicals added to it to help prevent fire, but the chemicals can also cause problems by emitting toxic fumes. Not a safe or healthy environment for a baby who’s going to spend 12 to 14 hours a day in his crib, breathing that air. I notice you have a photo of a Naturepedic crib mattress with this blog. They’re made with an innerspring, and use cotton instead of foam. Much healhtier for the baby.
