Introduction to Crib Mattress

Babies spend over 60% of their first years sleeping, making a crib mattress the most utilized baby product ever! A good crib mattress is of utmost importance for the health and safety of babies. A baby crib mattress provides optimal comfort for the little ones during their sleep. A comfortable sleep environment contributes to their overall well-being and development.

Types of Crib Mattress
 

Foam
While foam mattresses are typically made of polyurethane, which is light, flame retardant, and amongst the cheapest mattresses, many parents opt for foam crib mattresses made of organic materials. These materials may include soy, organic cotton, bamboo, and natural latex, among others. The choice is yours.

Spring
Innerspring mattresses consist of steel coils and any of the previously mentioned materials. These highly structured mattresses are typically more expensive and heavier, something to consider when changing those sheets! And remember that crib mattresses often come double-sided with a firm infant side and a softer toddler side. While the price may be slightly higher for a double-sided mattress, it will save you money in the long run.

Advantages of Crib Mattress

 
 
01
 

Reduced Risk of Overheating

One of the primary advantages of using a breathable crib mattress is its ability to regulate temperature effectively. By allowing air to flow freely through the mattress, it helps prevent your baby from getting too hot while sleeping. This reduces the risk of discomfort and potential overheating-related issues.

 
02
 

Prevention of Carbon Dioxide Buildup

Another crucial benefit is that breathable crib mattresses help prevent the buildup of carbon dioxide around your baby's face. The design allows for proper ventilation, ensuring that fresh air circulates within the mattress and prevents any potentially harmful gas accumulation.

 
03
 

Improved Air Circulation

Traditional mattresses may restrict airflow, leading to stagnant pockets where allergens and mold can thrive. In contrast, breathable crib mattresses promote better air circulation throughout their structure. This reduces the likelihood of allergen accumulation, such as dust mites or pet dander, which can trigger allergies or respiratory issues in sensitive infants.

How to Check if the Baby's Crib Mattress Fits Correctly?

Another important safety feature to look for is the fit and size of the mattress. Make sure the mattress fits snugly within the crib without any gaps or spaces. To check that the crib mattress fits correctly in the crib, follow these steps:  

 

Measure the Crib
Start by measuring the interior dimensions of the crib. Measure the length, width, and height to determine the exact size of the mattress that will fit snugly.

 

Choose the Right Size
Select a crib mattress that matches the measurements of your crib. The mattress should fit tightly with no gaps or spaces between the mattress and the crib sides. It's important to follow the manufacturer's recommendations for the appropriate mattress size for your specific crib model.

 

Test the Fit
Once you have the mattress, carefully place it inside the crib. Push it to the corners and edges to ensure a proper fit. There should be no space between the mattress and the crib frame. Check for any gaps or areas where the mattress may be too small or too large.

 

Check for Snugness
Press down gently on the mattress around the edges to see if it fits securely. A properly fitting mattress should not move easily or shift around within the crib. It should be snug and stable.

 

Follow Crib Guidelines
Refer to the crib's manufacturer guidelines and assembly instructions to ensure that you're placing the mattress correctly within the crib. Some cribs have adjustable mattress heights, so make sure you position the mattress at the recommended level according to your baby's age and development.

 

Regularly Inspect and Adjust
Regularly check the mattress fit to ensure it remains snug and secure over time. As your baby grows, you may need to adjust the mattress height to maintain a safe sleep environment.
Other safety features the crib mattress should have are good ventilation and breathability, reducing the risk of overheating and promoting safe sleep. And choose a firm mattress for your baby's crib. A firm surface helps reduce the risk of suffocation and provides optimal support for the baby's spine.

Reasons Why You Should Clean Your Crib Mattress

Dirt, dust, drool, and other substances are likely to end up on a baby's mattress, so it should be cleaned regularly. That way, it will stay fresh and bacteria-free. Let's take a look at some of the reasons why you should clean your baby mattress.
Dust Mites
Dust mites are microscopic creatures that you can't even see. They live in your mattress and are drawn to the dust, sweat, and drool that your baby leaves behind. If you want to keep your baby healthy, it's important to clean your mattress regularly.


Bacteria
Bacteria are microbes that live in your baby's mattress. Babies are more likely to develop respiratory issues if their mattress is covered in bacteria. If you don't clean your baby's mattress, they could end up with serious health issues.

Odours

While a dirty baby mattress can cause bacterial infections, it can also leave a strong odour. This is because bacteria love warm, moist environments, and they thrive on your baby's mattress. Washing your baby's mattress regularly can help to prevent it from becoming too smelly.

Mould & Mildew

Mould and mildew are two of the biggest problems that can result from a filthy baby mattress. Mould feeds off of the moisture that is trapped in your baby's mattress. If your mattress is left to go unclean for long enough, it can become covered in mould and mildew. This can cause some serious health issues for your child, such as respiratory infections and skin irritations.

Cleaning Prolongs Mattress Lifespan

If you want your baby's mattress to last as long as possible, you should clean it regularly. When you clean your baby's mattress, you are removing the bacteria and other substances that can collect on it. This helps to prolong the lifespan of your baby's mattress, allowing it to stay in good condition for longer.

Factors to Consider Before Choosing a Crib Mattress
 
1

Firmness
First of all, crib mattresses should be firm. While your older child might appreciate a soft and cozy bed, when it comes to your infant, the firmer the mattress the better. Soft mattresses can increase the safety risks for young babies. It’s important to note, however, that “firm” does not necessarily mean hard. Traditional crib mattresses are rock-hard because, in order to prevent a baby's head from sinking in and to avoid suffocation risk, they are encased in non-breathable plastic. By making the mattress completely breathable, we were able to make it much more comfortable as well — without any risk of suffocation. To be sure you have a firm crib mattress, push down on it and see if it immediately springs back into place when you take your hand away.

2

Breathability
Secondly, consider going with a breathable crib mattress. This is important because non-breathable mattresses may increase the risk of suffocation for young babies. However, you can put yourself at ease with a breathable mattress, like Newton Baby’s Crib Mattress, which allows air to flow freely for optimal breathability and temperature regulation while your little one sleeps.

3

Non-Toxic and Allergen-Free Materials
As your baby spends lots of time on a crib mattress, the materials used must be as safe as possible.

4

Fire Retardants
All mattresses have to abide by strict flammability regulations, which often involve the use of chemicals. However, some mattresses meet those standards with natural materials rather than chemicals. We’re also mindful of common allergens and make sure we don’t include irritants like foam, latex, springs, or glue in our mattresses. Instead, Newton Baby Crib Mattresses are made of safe, food-grade polymer.

5

The Truth About Organic Mattresses
Although, at first blush, you may think that an organic mattress is the safest, you should know there can be hidden dangers. Organic mattresses are often sealed in airtight plastic covers, making them not breathable. This can be a real safety hazard for your baby. In addition, organic mattresses are not washable, meaning it’s easy for dust mites, mold, and bacteria to gather.

6

Cleaning
Now we get to practical matters: cleaning. When choosing a mattress, you want to find one that’s easy to clean and maintain.

7

Weight
You don’t want to have to go to the gym just to lift your mattress. When your baby grows, you’re going to have to lower the mattress, which means it’s a little more tricky (and requires a little more muscle) to pull out the mattress and remove the crib sheet when it’s laundry day.

 

Ultimate FAQ Guide to Crib Mattress
 
 

Q: What kind of mattress do I need for a crib?

A: A crib mattress should be firm enough that it doesn't sink beneath your baby's weight. That also means no memory foam mattresses, which are designed to soften and conform to your weight. Remember: Keep it simple! One thing you'll discover when you have your baby is that they tend to be messy.

Q: Why is a crib mattress important?

A: A good crib mattress is of utmost importance for the health and safety of babies. A baby crib mattress provides optimal comfort for the little ones during their sleep. A comfortable sleep environment contributes to their overall well-being and development.

Q: Is a crib mattress a full size mattress?

A: A standard crib can be ⅝ of an inch larger or smaller than the regulated 28 by 52 ⅜ rectangle. A standard mattress will typically fit a standard crib, but because of this small variation, you will still need to check to make sure your mattress fits properly — not too big and not too small.

Q: Do all crib mattresses fit all cribs?

A: Crib dimensions are dictated by ASTM and Federal Law. The dimensions in the crib standard require cribs to have interior dimensions of 28″ wide and 52 3/8″ long; these 'standard' crib dimensions can vary by plus or minus 5/8″. Mattresses are designed to be slightly smaller to allow them to fit within these dimensions.

Q: How long can a child use a crib mattress?

A: Generally, a regular mattress may need to be updated after about 10 years. However, a crib mattress is typically past its point of good use after five years.

Q: Should I splurge on a crib mattress?

A: Since you don't have to spend a lot for a safe and attractive crib, use those savings to splurge on a good crib mattress. In most cases, it will be used for about three years, so you want to invest in something that's great for a small baby and an active toddler.

Q: How far down should a crib mattress be?

A: Once your baby can sit up between 5 to 8 months of age, you should lower the crib mattress down one notch or halfway – depending on what type of crib you own. During this stage, your baby's motor skills will start developing and hence, they will try hard to put themselves up or even stand with the support of the rails.

Q: Why do crib mattresses have two sides?

A: Two-stage crib mattresses feature different surfaces on each side. The infant side is usually firmer to provide optimal support for newborns, while the toddler side offers slightly more cushioning.

Q: Why are crib mattresses so low?

A: Your new crib will likely be equipped with a mattress you can raise or lower to 2 or 3 different height settings. For the newborn phase, the highest setting makes it much easier to move baby safely in and out of the crib, and as baby grows, lower settings prevent them from climbing or falling out of the crib.

Q: How often do you wash a baby mattress?

A: It's a good idea to wash the sheets and covers regularly on a hot wash to kill any bacteria or dust mites that may be living on them. Your baby's bedding should be washed at least once a week, while the mattress can be washed once a month.

Q: How to choose the right crib mattress size?

A: Once you have picked out the best crib for your baby, all that’s left to do is to choose the right mattress. While this may seem easy, there are a few things to consider as you shop. The first thing to know is the difference between mattress sizes. When it comes to crib mattress sizes and the safety of your baby, you want to be sure that the mattress fits inside the crib snugly with as little space as possible between the two. A large gap can pose a safety risk for your baby. As a rule, when the mattress is inside the crib, you should not be able to fit more than two fingers between it and the crib frame.

Q: What are the advantages of crib mattresses?

A: A high-quality crib mattress offers the necessary support for a baby's growing body. Infants' bodies are still in the early stages of development, including their skeletal structure. A good mattress provides firm support, ensuring proper alignment of their spine and bones. This helps in the healthy growth and development of their musculoskeletal system.

Q: How to ensure your crib mattress meets safety standards?

A: When crib mattress shopping (or making sure your current crib mattress meets safety standards), it is important to look that the crib mattress has been certified by safety organizations, such as the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association (JPMA) or the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). These certifications indicate that the mattress meets specific safety guidelines and standards. Another certification to check for is that the baby crib mattress is certified as GreenGuard Gold. This means that both the item and and its manufacturing process were strictly tested and reviewed for over 10,000 chemicals and VOC emissions.

Q: What is the structure of crib mattress?

A: The construction of the crib mattress is also an important piece. Look for mattresses made from high-quality materials. The core or support layer of the mattress should be sturdy and durable. If it's an innerspring mattress, ensure the coils are strong and evenly distributed. For foam mattresses, check for dense and resilient foam that provides adequate support.

Q: What to look for in a crib mattress?

A: Not all crib mattresses are dangerous for babies and toddlers, and a little extra time for research into the product you intend to choose can help steer you toward safer options.
Parents and caregivers looking for a crib mattress can:
● Seek safer replacements for fiberglass and other toxic chemicals that can be used to meet fire safety standards, including wool, rayon, and polylactic acid batting.
● Choose a crib from a manufacturer that’s transparent about the materials they use.
● Steer clear of mattresses made with PVC or vinyl.
● If possible, choose a mattress made without polyurethane foam.
● Find out what kind of mattress your child is sleeping and playing on during the work day if they’re at daycare.
● Clean the crib mattress regularly with a high-quality vacuum to remove the buildup of dust and particles from toxic chemicals.
● Consider an EWG VERIFIED crib mattress. A mattress bearing the mark which is based on standards and criteria developed by our scientists and are based on the latest research.
Finally, unless you choose a mattress made without toxic chemicals, make sure to air it out before your baby uses it, as this can help reduce VOC emissions. With some simple steps, your baby can sleep not just soundly but safely.

Q: How to make a crib mattress more breathable?

A: Choose a Firm Mattress
● Opt for a firm mattress that allows proper airflow.
● A firm mattress helps prevent suffocation and reduces the risk of SIDS.
● Look for mattresses with breathable materials that promote air circulation.
Use Breathable Covers or Inserts
● Consider using crib mattresses with breathable covers or inserts.
● These covers are designed to allow air to pass through easily, reducing the risk of overheating.
● Breathable inserts provide additional ventilation and help regulate temperature.
Keep Bedding Minimal
● Avoid using thick blankets or pillows in your baby's crib.
● Instead, opt for lightweight bedding made from breathable fabrics like cotton.
● Using minimal bedding reduces the chances of suffocation and promotes better airflow around your baby.

Q: What is a baby crib mattress?

A: A crib mattress is a special type of mattress that is designed to fit a baby crib. Crib mattresses are usually smaller than twin-size mattresses and often have a waterproof or water-resistant cover. The cover helps to protect the mattress from spills and accidents, and it also helps to keep the mattress clean.

Q: Why should you buy a crib mattress for your baby?

A: A crib mattress is perhaps your most important purchase for your baby. After all, your newborn will spend a great deal of time sleeping -up to 16 hours a day! - and a comfortable, supportive mattress is essential for maximizing those precious ZZZs.

Q: Is a used mattress safe?

A: If possible, you should buy a new crib mattress. An improperly stored mattress can grow mold or become a breeding ground for bacteria. Some older crib mattresses used PBDEs (polybrominated diphenyl ethers) — flame retardants that can interfere with thyroid function, now banned in Europe and some U.S. states. If you buy a new crib mattress, you can use it again for future children so long as you store it properly in a clean, dry location and it stays firm.

Q: Should you choose an organic crib mattress?

A: Some expectant parents are worried about the chemicals used in mattress manufacturing or are looking to reduce their environmental impact by choosing an organic mattress. While there's not a lot of comparative research available on the safety of organic mattresses versus conventional mattresses, there are a few things to consider:
Phthalates
Phthalates — industrial chemicals that make plastics softer and more durable — are commonly used in conventional mattresses and vinyl mattress covers, and the heat of a sleeping baby's body increases emissions of phthalates from the mattress. While phthalates are restricted in toys, they're not regulated in mattresses. More research is needed on the potential toxicity of phthalates, but they've been associated with health problems like infertility and asthma.
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)
VOCs have been found in some crib mattresses and can "off-gas" and be breathed in by a baby. Polyurethane foam releases more VOCs than polyester foam. Unfortunately, there's no regulation for organic mattresses, so anyone can claim that their mattress is "organic" or "natural" without having to meet specific requirements. While there is no legal standard, there are some independent organizations that may help eco-conscious parents find a mattress that works for their family.
