Crib Mattress And Their Varieties

By Adam Torres


Crib mattresses designed for babies are a lot differently manufactured than the ones designed for toddlers and kids. Since babies have delicate features and spend almost two-third of their day by sleeping, it is extremely important to recognize their needs properly and invest in accessories and products which will support them and help them rest comfortably.

Crib mattresses designed for adults and kids are also not ideal for babies, as they fail to provide the support that the delicate features of babies demand. Other than that, it is also vital to choose a firm mattress that will be able to support the growing bones of your baby.

Failing to choose a proper and safe crib mattress may create havoc for your child. Therefore, never consider the cost when it comes to your baby, as his or her future is completely dependent on your decisions. Below mentioned are some of the most common varieties of crib mattresses available in the market that you can consider for your baby.

Foam crib mattress Foam crib mattresses are the cheapest varieties of crib mattresses available in the market. Although it is better to avoid foam crib mattresses, you should follow extreme precautions while buying a crib mattress made of foam. The higher the density of foam crib mattresses, the safer it is for your child to sleep on. This is because, denser foam crib mattresses have longer life span and they do not collapse as fast as less dense crib mattresses. However, if it becomes a problem for you to guess the density of the foam, you can try to assume its weight to get an idea about its density. This is because the heavier the mattress, the higher will be its density. Hence, try to opt for crib mattresses which are heavier.

Even doctors prescribe organic crib mattresses as it has been noticed that various children suffered from skin allergies and various other health disorders due to coming in contact and inhaling the fumes of toxic substances used in synthetic crib mattress.

Foam crib mattresses The only benefit of using a foam crib mattress is that this variety is the cheapest of all crib mattress varieties. Foam crib mattresses should be avoided as they are mostly manufactured with toxic materials and they tend to get collapsed at the point where you baby sleeps regularly. This in turn may prevent your baby from turning while sleeping.

However; if at all you are considering to invest in a foam crib mattress, ensure that it has a higher density and better resilient nature. To check for resilience, push the middle portion of the mattress with your palm and check how much time it takes for the mattress to regain its original shape.

Foam crib mattress Although crib mattresses made of foam are the cheapest varieties available, they should be avoided as and when possible. Nor do foam crib mattresses have the structure needed to support the growing features of a baby, neither do they retain their shape and quality for long. One of the major problems with foam crib mattresses is that the spot where the baby regularly sleeps collapses and prevents the baby from turning easily. This can also lead to suffocation.
