crib mattress

Geeps2

Just wanted your crib mattress suggestions for those that have bought or are in the process of buying or registering for one.  I lucked out when I had my daughter 19 months ago my sister gave me my nieces old crib and mattress so I didn't have to deal with this issue before.  With this baby I am getting a crib from my sister's sister in law but I have to buy a new mattress and the choices are endless.  I have been looking them up and am just getting more confused.  I don't want a super cheap one but also don't want to spend an arm and a leg on one either.  I was looking into the Lullabye Earth lightweight crib mattress.  My daughter sleeps on a Sleay that has dual sides the firm side is for the little ones and the softer side is for toddlers.  It is a good mattress but very cumbersome.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Sealy mattress.  Can't figure out how to go back and edit for spelling.

I registered for the Simmons Kids Slumbertime Naturally mattress and I love it. It's a soy based mattress and is Green Certified. I like knowing my baby won't be sleeping on something toxic, and it wasn't insanely expensive like the high end choices. It is very light, fits the crib nice and snug, and has an infant side/toddler side.

Get a foam mattress, because those things are a pain to wrestle and I can't imagine dealing with a heavy innerspring one in the middle of the night when you're changing a fitted sheet and mattress cover.

We have a Colgate EcoClassica for DS and I plan on reusing it with this baby. I like using the plant based fibers as much as possible. Buy a good mattress cover too. I wouldn't personally worry about a softer side for a toddler - my little guy is fine on his ultra firm crib mattress with no pillow and no complaints.
