[blParent] Mattress for crib

[Robert Munro]

Pair the mattress and crib you plan to buy to make sure they're a good fit. (Mattresses are typically sold separately.) By law, a mattress used in a full-sized crib must be at least 27 1/4 inches wide by 51 5/8 inches long and no more than 6 inches thick. Still, do a quick check. If you can place more than two fingers between the mattress and the crib frame, the fit isn't snug enough.

I used foam mattresses for both of my kids, like this one: https://www.amazon.com/Dream-Me-Orthopedic-Standard-Mattress/dp/B0030V4Z02/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=Crib+Mattress&qid=1601494859&s=baby-products&sr=1-4

That is a foam mattress. It’s not the model I bought, but it ticks all the boxes.

If you prefer a spring coil mattress, this one is highly rated: https://www.amazon.com/Kolcraft-Therapeutic-Mattress-Hypoallergenic-Waterproof/dp/B004HKK5TK/ref=sr_1_10?dchild=1&keywords=Crib+Mattress&qid=1601494859&s=baby-products&sr=1-10

Memory foam mattresses are not safe for babies because it is dangerous to have a baby sleep face-down on a mattress that will fit to closely to the shape of their face.

Good luck, and God bless.


Onward!
