Getting Your Baby The Best Crib Mattress
Expecting a new born is a very exciting time for both parents especially the mother. A lot of time, energy and money is spent on shopping and setting up the nursery for the baby being expected. One very important item is the baby crib mattress. Even if you do not find it very exciting, you still want to give it your full attention as it is very important. This decision determines the safety and comfort of your baby. I will explain in this article, what to look for in a mattress while buying it.
The first thing to consider is the safety element of the mattress you are considering. The mattress should be firm and it should fit tightly. There should not be too much space between the mattress and the walls of the crib. You would not always know how much space is ideal. Here is a good way to determine if the crib is the right size. If you can fit in two of your fingers side to side between the walls of the crib and the mattress, thats the red flag. For example a crib with Bonavita Tomi Collection will need a mattress of 52 by 28.
Any spaces between the crib walls and the mattress will not be safe for the baby. Most cribs and their mattresses come in standard sizes. Therefore this might not be a problem for you if you are buying s standard sized crib. You will find that most of the mattresses in the market are a standard size 51 5/8″ by 27 1/4″.
What ever brand of mattresses you purchase, as a parent you should pay close attention to this. Many parents would overlook this issue in their excitement make more interesting purchases. This may be the cause of pain an injury to your baby later on if in your haste, you end up buying the wrong size.
