Naturepedic Organic Baby Crib Mattress - Classic 150 Coil 2-Stage Infant & Toddler Mattress - Waterproof Baby Bed Mattress for Crib - Non-Toxic Standard Baby Crib Mattress

Before my daughter was born, I had no idea what I should be looking for in a crib mattress. I had initially registered for an organic mattress, but my family pressured me to get a different mattress because the one I had registered for had "bad reviews" on another website. I ended up with the Safety First brand mattress, which cost about 50 dollars and had many ratings of 5 stars on Amazon.When my daughter was born, she slept in an Arms Reach co-sleeper, where she remained until 4 months old. Once she was able to roll around, we decided to move her to the crib.Before becoming a mom, I never realized how terrified I would be about SIDS. Maybe it was postpartum depression or postpartum OCD, but whatever it was, it was interfering with my ability to care for my daughter. I would wake up in the middle of the night to check on her every 30-45 minutes, even though she was right next to me in her crib. When she would fall asleep, I would stare at her for hours. I was afraid to fall asleep and I was afraid to look the other way. When I wasn't staring at her, I was reading studies about SIDS. I couldn't sleep. It was horrible. I knew the old mattress had to go -- my gut was telling me to do something. I bought one of those impermeable plastic shields to wrap the mattress in case the mattress off-gassing theory was true, but once I did that, my daughter refused to sleep on it altogether. I sat there asking myself whether these theories were just marketing ploys to get distressed first-time moms to buy expensive "anti SIDS" products.One night, I ordered this mattress. I was tired of being up all night with a baby who wouldn't sleep on her mattress. With Prime shipping, it came in 2 days. It has two sides to it: infant and toddler. The toddler side is slightly softer, but not noticeably so. My daughter is 9 months old and still sleeps on the infant side, but at this point, when she wakes up for that 4 AM feed, she comes into bed with me. On day one with this mattress, she slept happily. We have had it for several months now. Maybe it's the placebo effect... maybe it's because my daughter is older now... but I haven't worried a single night since switching to this mattress. I even feel comfortable letting my daughter nap in her crib while I'm in the other room, and that's something I was afraid to do before.The mattress is extremely comfortable, but heavy. I'm glad it's heavy, though, because it's made of cotton and it should be heavy. It is seamless, so it has a sleek look. It is easy to clean and standard sheets fit on it very well. I'm not the kind of person who makes big purchases like this, but I'm really glad I got this mattress. My daughter likes it just as much as I do.

After doing all of the research we decided to go well above and beyond on the mattress for our baby in order to gain some peace of mind. At first I thought it was maybe a little ridiculous to buy an "organic" cotton mattress, but this is the world we live in now. It seems everything around is processed and chemical laden. Thankfully, I did have the means to purchase new bedding, but also provide bedding that would help minimize exposure to my child's tiny body. My baby is 2 1/2 now and we transferred the mattress to her toddler bed. This mattress is tough and easily withstood any beating my daughter could hand out. There were lots of times she used the crib as a trampoline.We are expecting another child in a few months and we just received our second Naturepedic No Compromise Organic Cotton Classic 150 Seamless Dual Firmness Crib Mattress. When you unbox this mattress, everything exudes quality. The packaging is top notch and the mattress is sealed in thick, fitted, plastic cover. The weight and feel of the mattress let you know this is a high quality product. Absolutely no hint of a chemical smell. Made in the USA by a company and workers who care.This mattress is slightly over-sized. I do recommend you buy the Naturepedic brand fitted sheets to ensure the best fit and reduce your headaches. This mattress fit very snugly into both our older crib and newer toddler bed. I prefer the snug fit, but you may have to work at it a little to get it to seat fully onto the rails.Absolutely worth the price over top of other brands. I do not regret buying this for one second

This mattress is a perfect fit for the Pottery Barn Larkin 4 in 1 crib! It's a snug fit, and that is a good thing. Initially, we thought the mattress was too big. But, place it in the crib by standing in front of the long side - the front of the crib. Slide it to the back at a 45 degree angle and just drop it in. Perfect. It's also easy to change the sheet, but again, lift the mattress up on its side, or just pull it out to put the sheet on it. I don't know if a mattress pad will affect the fit of the mattress, but I really don't see a need for one. If we need one, we will opt for a flat, non fitted pad which won't add bulk to the mattress sides. I had read a lot of contradictory information online about the Naturpedic products not fitting Pottery Barn cribs, but this mattress is perfect for the Larkin 4 in 1. I was completely sold on the quality and features of Naturpedic crib mattresses. Naturpedic quality, as well as their Customer Service, is well documented in numerous reviews on Amazon, as well as other sites. This mattress is wonderful, and it is perfectly flat. We haven't used it yet, but I expect no issues. I will update my review once we have used it for a while.

I am so frustrated and disappointed in this company and it's mattress. I splurged and purchased this for all the same reasons you're considering. I thought I was buying a quality product. My now 7 month old co-sleeps, but we hoped to begin transitioning to her crib about 2.5 months ago. After laying her in the crib, I noticed the mattress resembled a hammock and had a large dip in the middle. This was definitely not acceptable as this was expensive, never used, always cared for properly. (I even purchased their expensive waterproof cover for this mattress.) I called the company that same day and left a voicemail. Since then, I have left 4 other messages and never once received a call back! My cousin was considering this mattress for her baby due next month, but after seeing ours and hearing the trouble I've had, decided to buy something else... Which is exactly what I wish I would've done! I'm a nurse and try to find the safest products for our baby. I'm sorry to say, this was a poor investment and that this is an overpriced piece of junk we can't even use.
