Choosing a mattress for baby's nursery should not be the decision lax. There are several things that you look into a mattress, your children should be safe. Arm yourself with this knowledge, before shopping around for the right mattress for your precious baby.
Size
To avoid strangulation or suffocation, it is important that the mattress fits infant in the cradle. They should be able to more than one finger between the mattress and the walls in the formThe crib / rails. I also recommend going with a child-size mattress. It should measure 51 to 8.5 "to 27 1 / 4" and must not exceed 6 "thickness. Make sure you measure the mattress itself, before it goes into the cradle. This is because the manufacturer's label is not 100% error-proof. This was the case with the 20,000 Simmons mattresses, which were recalled in June 2008.
Force
A safe mattress is always very tight and uniform. Astrong internal support system prevents the mattress from sagging. This keeps the tension tight and lose areas of sheets are not created (choking) are. Remember that, when pressed together from both sides of the center, a firm mattress will soon return to let go once, and not adapted to the shape of the hand.
Quality
Your child will spend most of the first year on the mattress. Do not buy a cheap mattress that sold for less than $ 80. It is not very strong and in myNotice, not just pretty sure. While a child good mattress is made from high quality materials, and the result is more expensive. In my opinion the best crib mattress on the market, those that are 100% organic material are produced. These mattresses are not chemically treated during the production process, and therefore do not leach harmful chemicals such as phthalates.
Mattress height
The mattress is adjustable to various levels within the crib.This is a safety feature that can be used if your child will need to be more mobile. Once the child is able to stand, I suggest you lower the mattress to the lowest level. This will prevent your child while climbing. However, if the child is constantly going out (or is greater than the sidebar), then the crib and mattress are not safer.
Note that a baby safe mattress is just one of many necessary components in your baby's nursery. But at the sameNow, I firmly believe that security take precedence over style or design. So please invest in a quality mattress and safe first. The children's furniture and design should be secondary, because these things will affect your child's welfare.
