We got it gently used at other mothers for a steal! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crib-mattress#post-111874 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 07:49:10 +0000 SugarplumsMom 111874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We plan on getting something cheap since it'll be a gamble if we get the baby to actually use the crib. When she graduates into a toddler bed, I'll buy a nice memory foam topper, similar to what DH and I use now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crib-mattress#post-111833 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 07:01:51 +0000 winniebee 111833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks to everyone for your suggestions! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crib-mattress#post-110532 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 16:58:35 +0000 MsMini 110532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought an Ikea crib, so I got their memory foam crib mattress. I personally prefer foam over spring mattresses, so we bought the same for out LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crib-mattress#post-110530 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 16:55:28 +0000 cvbee 110530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just went for one from the same store as the crib. It wasn't too expensive. Not even really sure why I picked it....from what I read, a crib mattress is a crib mattress is a crib mattress. </p> <p><a href="http://www.sears.ca/product/bily-ecosleeper-pur-tranquil-mattress/632-000582601-BE522440" rel="nofollow">http://www.sears.ca/product/bily-ecosleeper-pur-tranquil-mattress/632-000582601-BE522440</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crib-mattress#post-110524 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 16:45:02 +0000 Boogs 110524@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: Yes, I love shopping with coupons, especially for big ticket items. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crib-mattress#post-110522 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 16:43:22 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 110522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the mattress you registered for.... it is so nice! Obviously baby is not sleeping in it yet, but it is super good quality and it seems so thick. I love that it's dual sided! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crib-mattress#post-110505 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 16:20:11 +0000 winniebee 110505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Boogs: That's a VERY good point - definitely will use that 20% coupon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crib-mattress#post-110136 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 10:38:59 +0000 Boogs 110136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We also have a dual sided soy one. LO has no complaints about it, so I would recommend one like that. We got it at Babies R Us and it was one of the average priced ones. Whatever you decide to get, don't forget to try to take one of their 20% off coupons with you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crib-mattress#post-110109 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 10:24:31 +0000 stiffaknee 110109@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought the colgate classica I. I did a ton of research before buying it and this particular mattress had lots of positive reviews online and came recommended by the baby bargains book.. LO isn't here yet, so I can't say how she'll like it, but its nice and firm and fits tightly in the crib! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crib-mattress#post-110072 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 09:52:46 +0000 Mrsbells 110072@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought the sealy ultra rest from walmart and it comes with two free gerber crib sheets {although the gerber crib sheets are a really tight fit on the mattress}</p> <p><a href="http://www.walmart.com/ip/Sealy-Baby-Ultra-Rest-Crib-Toddler-Bed-Mattress-w-Bonus-2-Pack-Crib-Sheets-Bundle/15137206" rel="nofollow">http://www.walmart.com/ip/Sealy-Baby-Ultra-Rest-Crib-Toddler-Bed-Mattress-w-Bonus-2-Pack-Crib-Sheets-Bundle/15137206</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crib-mattress#post-110011 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 09:03:17 +0000 Goldilocks1107 110011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: I debated soy for awhile, but there's still so much that's unregulated with "organic" or "certified green" items that makes me wonder if I can make a truly informed decision on which mattress is actually "better". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crib-mattress#post-110003 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 08:55:24 +0000 LivsMama 110003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we had a Serta (and aired it out for a few weeks,) but then exchanged it for some soybean one. Liv H-A-T-E-D her crib mattress with springs. HATED it. I know infant crib mattresses should be hard, but this was like concrete. The soy one is all foam and now she actually likes it. When shes a bit older we'll get a memory foam topper (she loves our bed and the guest bed, both memory foam).</p> <p>Truthfully, the soy part might be gimmicky, but it is less chemicals and worth the extra $40 IMO. All crib mattresses sold in the US are required to be treated with a chemical to make it inflammable, so you dont lose that unless you buy an organic one in Canada. I have friends who went to Canada to get them, but I didnt go that far. We aired them out for a few weeks, put a mattress cover over it, and called it a day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crib-mattress#post-109939 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 07:56:30 +0000 winniebee 109939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Goldilocks1107: Cool, thx! I feel like the whole soybean thing is kind of gimmicky, but what do I know? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crib-mattress#post-109934 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 07:43:13 +0000 Goldilocks1107 109934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went with a Serta from Babies R Us - one of the dual side ones so we can flip it over to be slightly softer when LO transitions to a toddler bed.<br /> I know some people are concerned about chemicals in the non-organic mattresses, but I'd read that if you air it out for a few weeks, it shouldn't be an issue (not that it really was an issue for any of us when we were growing up!). So that's what we've been doing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crib-mattress#post-109920 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 06:53:39 +0000 winniebee 109920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I registered for the Sealy Soybean Everedge mattress - <a href="http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=11306119" rel="nofollow">http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=11306119</a></p> <p>We didn't receive it at our shower, so I am just going to purchase a mattress now. </p> <p>But I'm thinking of getting another less expensive one instead like the Sealy Firm Rest - <a href="http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=11459691" rel="nofollow">http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=11459691</a>. It's $40 bucks cheaper and seems fine. </p> <p>What crib mattress did you/do you have and do you like it? </p>
