Crib mattress

Stm or more- where would you suggest getting a mattress from? Is there really any big difference between the options?

    I've purchased 3 different ones with my previous littles and have never really noticed a big difference. I will say my personal preference are the ones that are easy to wipe down since there were lots of accidents! I believe I got them at Target or Babies R Us.

    I got a sealy soybean mattress. From what I read when I was pregnant with my first is that sine the soybean is a natural fiber, it's more breathable. I will probably get the same mattress for this baby or reuse it. (If I end up putting my first in a twin bed.)

    But what I what I would recommend is making sure the mattress is waterproof plastic and the edges are sealed well. That way after baby wets the bed, he/she won't keep breathing in the ammonia.

    You also want to make sure it's very firm! Soft mattresses increase the risk of sids.

    The one we got for DD is a 2-1 Serta baby/toddler mattress one from BRU. I honestly had zero preference on what mattress to get so we ended up just getting that one. She's been sleeping on it for 2 years now and haven't had any issues whatsoever.

    I do suggest buying a mattress cover, though. We've had our fair share of vomiting in the crib, and the mattress cover is very helpful with this.

    Thank you for the input ladies! I will definitely be buying mattress covers for DH to clean them easier, haha.

    We stopped using the mattress cover since the mattress is waterproof. It was something else to wash and redundant with a waterproof mattress.

    Bought mine on Amazon. Mine is also waterproof, foam, firm and lightweight. I really love it! No need for a mattress cover for me. The mattress cover made cleaning up more work when the mattress is already extremely waterproof and easy to clean. No crevices.

    I clicked on your photo and then got extremely frustrated I couldn't swipe through the photos or look down at more info. It took me 10 seconds to figure out why.... pregprobs.
    Sorry! Here a link:

    @Marchmellow2, thank you. It wasn't your fault, I just laughed it off

    Btw the dual firmness is what makes it a about $30 more than the other single firm mattresses.

    ETA: It has such great reviews.

    We got a really nice Serta mattress from Babies R Us for half price on Black Friday before my son was born. They had a lot of great deals if that's not too close to your due date.

    You may want to invest in some sheets in any case. Infants and toddlers vomit and poop and pee in the bed in the middle of the night.

    Yea, I was planning on getting multiple sheets for that reason. It's going to get expensive for 2!

    We have the same one as marshmallow and we love it too. We actually had gotten another one from Buy buy baby, but when we put it in the crib there was too much room on the side and i freaked out and returned it and got the one we have now. I do use a mattress cover though.

    Wow good idea regarding Black Friday deals. This might be the first year I venture out!

    @redfallon thanks! I forgot about that (throwing up in bed). I was so focused on wetting the bed! Guess I'll be adding sheets ;)

    No problem! We just had a good round of that a few weeks ago. Not pretty. She was going every 20 mins until it stopped. I used up all but one of our crib sheets before I started putting layers of towels on her bed. Worst part is when DH was cleaning her up in the bathtub for one of those times, she was crying saying, "Nasty Emily, nasty Emily" with a really sad voice. Oh, it about tore my heart out! =((
