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 and innerspring or coil mattresses. If you are considering
purchasing a foam mattress look for a heavy weight, high density
crib mattress as this will result in a firmer mattress. Also check
the resilience; this is the ability of the mattress to spring back
into shape.
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. Our online merchants are able to
