I have a coupon for 15% off crib mattresses at BRU and would like to use it if I could. Anyone buy their mattress from there? What do you recommend? If not BRU, where did you go? Thanks a bunch!
Colgate Classica I (One of the top recs. in Baby Bargins) - I think BRU sells it, but we got ours at Just for Kids in Lancaster when we bought the crib.
Baby Bargains suggests a foam mattress instead of a coil one. We got a colgate from albeebaby.com for $99. Last I checked they do free shipping over $100, so add a pacifier or something to get free shipping!
We got a foam colgate mattress from somewhere online. It cost a total of $105 inc. shipping.
Since crib sheets have to fit really tightly, you're going to need to pick the mattress up to get them on there properly - that's where the foam mattress comes in handy.
We have a Colgate Classica III from greatbeginnings online store. It was a little over $100 & free shipping. It's a store in Gaithersburg, Md so it will get to you pretty quickly. I'm glad we went with foam b/c sheet changes are much easier since it's lighter than coil.
First of all, Baby Bargains, and some other books I had read recommend a firm foam mattress and all the ones at BRU are spring coil ones. We did not get ours there, we got it at IKEA. A foam firm mattress and great price to boot and it was less than $100. We bought our crib and mattress and some bedding accessories (mattress protector, crib sheets etc.) for less than $200 total. I highly recommend IKEA.

Unfortunately, I don't think BRU carries foam mattresses, which are recommended over spring mattresses and combo mattresses.
Our Colgate Classica I came from Rock'A'Bye - $109 plus tax.
