Naturepedic Organic Cotton Classic 150 Coil Seamless 2-Stage Crib/Toddler Mattress

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 the best! I did a lot of research before choosing a mattress for my son and decided on the Naturepedic 150 primarily because of its low toxicity. I am sensitive to the smell of plastics (like vinyl) and aware of the dangers of off-gassing because of my profession, so I did not want my son to be sleeping on a chemical filled mattress and breathing these fumes. The organic cotton is great, but what sold me was the seamless polyethylene surface (safe and no smell!). I've been using it for about 6 months now with no issues. It is so easy to wipe clean that I don't use a mattress cover. It is firm, flat, and high quality. Fits snugly in the babyletto Modo crib, which is what you want so there are no big gaps. I don't find the mattress to be too heavy and changing the sheets is pretty easy with this crib. Highly recommend!

Warning: it is extremely firm, so comfort is not a huge factor in this mattress. It also makes a lot of scratching noises when baby moves around on it. BUT it is the only fully organic crib mattress on the market, so in my opinion, that outweighs comfort. Adding a mattress pad gives it comfort. It truly is waterproof, baby has peed and pooped on it many times, and it cleans up nicely. I also love that it is manufactured in the USA, and the detail work that goes into making this product makes it one of good quality. Baby is 3 months old now. Because of the price and claimed quality, I am expecting this mattress to last for years to come. If it does, then it would be worth the price. Thank you, Naturepedic, for making a safe bed that I feel comfortable laying baby on to sleep.

So I was ULTRA paranoid buying this. As a first time parent you are really nervous to make sure you pick the right bed. I would say my daughter never slept in her crib until about 4 months. Everyone kept commenting that it was too hard and I should think about buying another one...I was like "this is one of the most expensive beds on the market soooo why would I replace it??!!?!" After doing more research and talking to more people it is important for your baby to sleep on something that is firm compared to very soft. So this is your mattress where it has a infant/toddler side where it softens a little on the toddler side. My baby loves her bed now and sleeps almost through the night. (The important thing we NEVER did in the beginning was getting her on a schedule. After we did that, DRAMATIC difference) The only thing I wish I knew before buying it is, the outside of the bed is wrapped in a thick(ish) plastic (easy to clean in case baby wets bed). It looked like a soft material online but I was a little disappointed it was a plastic liner over the mattress. BUT it has great springs and you can tell it is a quality mattress. So overall I have had success but before she started ACTUALLY sleeping on it I was a big nervous I was going to have to replace it. I would say if you want a firm quality mattress this is for you!

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.
