Now that Pops and I have settled on a crib, we need to start thinking about mattresses…partially because it would be easiest to just order everything all at once and be done with it. \u00c2\u00a0Of course, this – just like the furniture – cannot be taken lightly. \u00c2\u00a0We’re all about the research to make sure what we are getting is the best fit for us and our kiddo.
\n
\nInstead of doing a broad review of all mattresses, I’m going to focus on only three – the highly rated Colgate Classica 3<\/a> foam mattress, the Moonlight Slumber Starlight Support Supreme<\/a> foam mattress, and the Naturepedic No-Compromise Organic Cotton Ultra<\/a> coil mattress.<\/p>\n

Why compare two foam mattresses against a single coil mattress? \u00c2\u00a0Mainly because I feel as though foam might be a better option for us – but Naturepedic doesn’t offer \u00c2\u00a0such items and I’m intrigued by that and their ability to be completely organic. \u00c2\u00a0So! \u00c2\u00a0What are we looking for?<\/p>\n

Pops and I would like a mattress made in the US, Canada, or the EU with dual firmness. \u00c2\u00a0We’d like the cover to be waterproof – and as sealed as possible against moisture, etc – and if possible, I’d like something organic or at least as low in chemicals as possible. \u00c2\u00a0Without further delay:<\/p>\n
