WIth a newborn, you want a firm mattress. BRU, Target, Baby Depot... they all have them and they start at about $85.

You want a waterproof one, though! And you will also want a water proof mattress cover.

Just pick one up at BRU...  none are special.

Go to bru to check them out. The cheap ones really feel smushy, I wouldn't feel comfortable putting ds on one. Take a good look and feel them, you'll be able to tell the difference. Ours was over a hundered dollars, but we used the 20% off coupon. As pp said, you want one that is firm.

We have a Colgate 2 in 1.  It got great reviews when we were buying a mattress. I do think the mattress matters, so I would read some reviews and shop around.  Don't forget the waterproof mattress pads (get 2).

I am sure you didn't do this with the mattress you sleep on, correct?  Why would you do it with your baby?

We are also getting the Colgate 2 in 1.  I've heard really great things about the brand and the price isn't bad.  And I like the idea that it can be turned over to the less firm side when my daughter is sleeping in the toddler bed.

We're getting the Naturepedic Seamless. They sell it at Sears. An organic mattress is very important to me. Do some research and find out what is right for you. It's just like picking your own except smaller.
