STMs-crib mattress question

in August 2014 Moms
Well be putting dd in the crib soon (sleeping in the pack n play currently) and using DS old crib and mattress. Wondering since the mattress isn't as firm as it once was (DS slept on it for the last 2 years) if we should get a new one or just use it?

    We are reusing DD's mattress (she slept on it for 16 months) and DD is currently using my nephew's mattress that he slept on for 2 years. I don't want to spend money on a new mattress.

    I have read that you are supposed to get a new mattress.

    But, we didn't.  It's the same one that my older son used for 2 years.

    I'm not buying a new mattress.  I'm not at all concerned about re-using the mattress.  It's not like he's sleeping on something incredibly smooshy, it's still firm.

    This. DD1 seriously weighed like 27lbs at her heaviest in the crib. I'm not buying a brand new mattress, it still seems as firm to me as when we bought it.

    We've used the same mattress for all three kids. My oldest is almost 6. It is a "plastic" covered one, if that makes any difference.

    I'm on my third kid and still using the same mattress.  Seems silly to me to buy a new one, although I know this is certainly a topic of some debate.

    Thanks ladies! This is the shit that runs through my mind at 3 in the morning with no sleep. I am fine with keeping the older matress and just wasn't sure if there was a general rule of thumb with it!
