Reusing a mattress

mrsweeber member

October 2012 in Nurseries and Baby Gear

I received a hand-me-down crib mattress from a friend. No rips, tears, or sags. Her little one used it for about 9 months total. It's an expensive brand name mattress. The mattress itself has a plastic cover over the entire thing that also doesn't have any signs of wear. Is this safe to reuse? the only thing I've found as a potential threat are gases being emited from the materials, but I am completely fine with purchasing one of those non-permeable mattress covers from Amazon, etc. Would you reuse a mattress with a newly purchased mattress cover? Or am I being a cheap, bad mom? Feel free to be honest!

I would use it. Sounds like it is in great shape.

Agree with pp! You are not being a cheap bad mom, it sounds like a good mattress :

I wouldn't get one at a yard sale but one in good condition from someone you know would be fine.

I would reuse it. Now if it were much older then I would pass. But it sounds like you have a good deal there. Go for it!

If it was from someone I knew well I would use it.
