Find a Better Crib Mattress: The Surprising Key to Baby’s Deep Sleep

In This Feature

Crib Mattress Buying Checklist

  • Firmness is key. Test the inside and the edges of the mattress.
  • Look for exterior fabric that can withstand tears, spills, and jumps like multi-layered or quilted vinyl.
  • Check that you can't put more than a two-finger width distance between the crib mattress and the crib.
  • Make sure that the crib sheet fits snugly and can't be pulled off the mattress.
  • Consider buying a mattress with fire-retardant fabric.
  • Don't buy a crib mattress at a store where you can't return it if it doesn't fit right.
