I just thought about how I wouldn't want to sleep on a cheapo one! </p> <p>With that said, we didn't really go with a high quality one and regret it, BUT it's worked out for us so far because we cosleep so the crib gets zero use! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-crib-mattress-do-you-have-and-how-did-you-choose#post-2334808 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 22:25:19 +0000 lauren0817 2334808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone! Of course I said I was just going to decide and then I still haven't :) At least now I have a few awesome options - thank you!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-crib-mattress-do-you-have-and-how-did-you-choose#post-2332711 Sat, 24 Oct 2015 21:42:21 +0000 BabyTsMom 2332711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We also have the Amazon one; I figured over 1800 reviews and still getting 4.5 stars was good enough for me. That said, I don't LOVE it but it does a fine job and I can't complain! And LO seems as fine with this mattress as he is with a much more $$$ one that is a hand-me-down at his grandma's.<br /> When it's time to move to a regular bed, though, I think I'll do much more research. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-crib-mattress-do-you-have-and-how-did-you-choose#post-2332707 Sat, 24 Oct 2015 21:27:21 +0000 Rocker2014 2332707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A 3rd vote for the $50 Amazon one! 1 year in, we're thrilled with it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-crib-mattress-do-you-have-and-how-did-you-choose#post-2332621 Sat, 24 Oct 2015 18:09:26 +0000 Greentea 2332621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the naturpedic. It is lightweight, very firm, and waterproof. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-crib-mattress-do-you-have-and-how-did-you-choose#post-2332602 Sat, 24 Oct 2015 16:12:27 +0000 SweetCaroline 2332602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same as @blackbird: Lots of good reviews. LO is 8 months old and I like it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-crib-mattress-do-you-have-and-how-did-you-choose#post-2332595 Sat, 24 Oct 2015 15:39:33 +0000 PawPrints 2332595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We stuck with the mattress that came with our crib, but it's worth noting you can avoid the need for a lightweight mattress if you go with zip-off sheets. Totally easy to change without lifting the mattress: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/QuickZip/b/ref=bl_dp_s_web_2599273011?ie=UTF8&#038;node=2599273011&#038;field-lbr_brands_browse-bin=QuickZip" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/QuickZip/b/ref=bl_dp_s_web_2599273011?ie=UTF8&#038;node=2599273011&#038;field-lbr_brands_browse-bin=QuickZip</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-crib-mattress-do-you-have-and-how-did-you-choose#post-2332568 Sat, 24 Oct 2015 14:29:43 +0000 catomd00 2332568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got a baby cache one because that's what brand crib we bought. They had 3 options at 3 price points - we went for the middle option. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-crib-mattress-do-you-have-and-how-did-you-choose#post-2332508 Sat, 24 Oct 2015 11:55:06 +0000 lauren0817 2332508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thank you so much for all of the recommendations!!! I am going to look these up today and then just pick one. I'm sure baby will love it (mom is the one who is crazy and needs to look at every mattress :) haha) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-crib-mattress-do-you-have-and-how-did-you-choose#post-2332507 Sat, 24 Oct 2015 11:46:02 +0000 sapphire 2332507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely get one of the lightweight ones. It truly does make changing the sheets so much less of a struggle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-crib-mattress-do-you-have-and-how-did-you-choose#post-2332499 Sat, 24 Oct 2015 11:27:32 +0000 Keybee 2332499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We bought the top on from our local Walmart. It had good reviews. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-crib-mattress-do-you-have-and-how-did-you-choose#post-2332493 Sat, 24 Oct 2015 10:56:15 +0000 BananaPancakes 2332493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We bought the organic naturepedic one, as well. I really wanted an organic mattress and there were very few to choose from at the time (4 years ago), so that slimmed down the options dramatically. It had good reviews and it's been a great mattress. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-crib-mattress-do-you-have-and-how-did-you-choose#post-2332492 Sat, 24 Oct 2015 10:52:28 +0000 ldh112 2332492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh - I remember being SO overwhelmed about mattresses! We wanted something non-toxic that had good reviews and no smelly de-gassing. We went with the Moonlight Slumber Little Dreamer all-foam. I got it from BBB with one of their 20% off coupons. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-crib-mattress-do-you-have-and-how-did-you-choose#post-2332461 Sat, 24 Oct 2015 09:35:56 +0000 rosegold 2332461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lauren0817: target has the Simmons kids slumber time natural I think it's called. had two safety certifications I was looking for and the price was good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-crib-mattress-do-you-have-and-how-did-you-choose#post-2332433 Sat, 24 Oct 2015 08:36:34 +0000 hilsy85 2332433@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got an organic naturepedic mattress (one of the lightweight ones). They spend so much time on the mattress that the price was worth it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-crib-mattress-do-you-have-and-how-did-you-choose#post-2332421 Sat, 24 Oct 2015 08:21:12 +0000 ms.line 2332421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought the most expensive mattress at IKEA (where I got my crib). I went with pocket springs - it felt sturdy and I like that springs run cooler than foam. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-crib-mattress-do-you-have-and-how-did-you-choose#post-2332412 Sat, 24 Oct 2015 07:58:54 +0000 Golden 2332412@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Sealy-Baby-Posturepedic-Crib-Mattress/dp/B001FOGIZQ" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Sealy-Baby-Posturepedic-Crib-Mattress/dp/B001FOGIZQ</a></p> <p>I wanted it waterproof and sturdy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-crib-mattress-do-you-have-and-how-did-you-choose#post-2332405 Sat, 24 Oct 2015 07:41:02 +0000 Foodnerd81 2332405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ha- I registered for the same one as my friend. I was overwhelmed too. But I was recommended took with lightweight foam to make changing the sheets easier, which I did and am glad I did. It was about $100 at BBB. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-crib-mattress-do-you-have-and-how-did-you-choose#post-2332403 Sat, 24 Oct 2015 07:32:36 +0000 blackbird 2332403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The most popular one on Amazon for $50! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-crib-mattress-do-you-have-and-how-did-you-choose#post-2332375 Sat, 24 Oct 2015 06:35:19 +0000 lauren0817 2332375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For some reason I am having so much trouble choosing a crib mattress so I thought I would ask for recommendations and advice. There are so many options - and such a wide price range! The crib will be here soon (baby is due the first week in January), so I think I need to just pick something :) </p> <p>What crib mattress do you have? How did you pick and do you and LO like it? Originally I was leaning towards innerspring instead of foam just because it feels sturdier to me, but then again the foam mattresses are so much lighter and it will be much easier to change sheets. Thanks for your help!! I'm so indecisive sometimes :) </p>
