I registered for the Sealy Soybean Everedge mattress - http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=11306119
We didn't receive it at our shower, so I am just going to purchase a mattress now.
But I'm thinking of getting another less expensive one instead like the Sealy Firm Rest - http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=11459691. It's $40 bucks cheaper and seems fine.
What crib mattress did you/do you have and do you like it?

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.
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!

@Goldilocks1107: Cool, thx! I feel like the whole soybean thing is kind of gimmicky, but what do I know?

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).
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.

@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".

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}

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!

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!

@Boogs: That's a VERY good point - definitely will use that 20% coupon!

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!

@winniebee: Yes, I love shopping with coupons, especially for big ticket items.

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.

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.

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.
