Memory Foam Crib Mattress

A memory foam crib mattress is a good idea for toddlers but not a good idea for infants. Infants require a very firm mattress and the memory foam is just much to soft. You can purchase two sided memory foam crib mattresses that feature a firm inner-spring coil mattress for infants and the other side features a soft memory foam layer for toddlers.

Searching For The Right Memory Foam Crib Mattress Pad And Topper

When searching for a memory foam crib mattress there are a few things you should be aware of. These are very important factors that you must consider before purchasing any memory foam crib topper for a baby.

The Size

To prevent your baby from becoming trapped under the mattress you need to make sure it fits precisely into the crib. It should fit so perfectly that you should not be able to fit two fingers in between the side of the memory foam mattress for babies. You can go with a mattress that is a standard baby crib size mattress. The measurement for that would be fifty one and five-eights inches by twenty seven and one-fourth inches.

Any baby mattress should also not be more than six inches in thickness. If you buy the memory foam crib mattress with the firm side and the soft side it should be around six inches thick. Make sure you take the extra step yourself and measure the mattress. The labels the manufacturers put on the mattress may be incorrect (as demonstrated by the twenty thousand mattresses that Simmons recalled in 2008).

It Must Be A Quality Memory Foam Crib Mattress Topper

Don’t go for a cheap crib mattress. Try finding one that’s made from organic materials. These are usually high quality and made without harmful chemicals (they are also usually hypo-allergenic).

So to recap, you do not want to buy a memory foam crib mattress for an infant. They are simply too soft. You want to purchase a firm mattress that provides the right support. The best mattress can be made of organic materials. Once the baby reaches toddler age then you can consider memory foam crib mattress.
