crib mattress

So I'm thinking that I have finally decided on a crib mattress! I going to get the Naturpedic No Compromise Organic Cotton mattress. Are crib mattresses generally the same standard size? I would hate for it to not fit in the crib...

Has anyone used the mattress and loved it? Or hated it?

Thanks for any advice!

    I love our mattress. I can't remember the brand name - I got it at buy buy baby. It is organic cotton stuffed with cocoa fibres..if I remember correctly. The weave is tight, so it is waterproof and it smelled like nothing at all when it came out of the wrapper.

    usually manufacturers have a list of recommended mattresses for their cribs. It's important to observe those dimensions - including thickness. I didn't buy the recommended mattress but I used the dimensions recommended by the company and then tested the mattress out - snug and tight fit, and a safe height.

    I have used this for my first son for almost 4 years now. It's great, really thick and holds up even with his jumping on it all the time.  It is heavy and a tight fit in the crib which makes it a bit of a pain to change sheets,but worth it.

    I'm sure this is coming too late!  But for anyone else reading, or in case original poster is thinking to switch, we found the naturepedic too thin and a little smelly when it first arrived.  We really, really like Obasan natural rubber mattresses with wool outer.  Very comfy, breathable, supportive and thick.  Made in Ottawa, Canada. :)
