9 best mattresses for newborns

Review of the best according to the editorial board. On the selection criteria. This material is subjective and does not constitute advertising and does not serve as a purchase guide. Before buying, you need to consult with a specialist.

Babies spend most of their time in the crib. Calm and deep sleep in young children should be approximately 18 hours a day. Do not forget that in the first months of life, the formation of the spine takes place, which means that a properly selected mattress should not only give comfort, but also provide the necessary support to prevent future health problems.

Twenty years ago, parents did not need to think about the choice, because in the stores there were only mattresses on a batting. Today the situation has changed dramatically, and now the choice is simply huge. True, parents do not always pay due attention to finding a suitable mattress, agreeing to the very first option proposed by the consultant. This approach is completely wrong.

Modern mattresses for newborns have all the necessary characteristics in order not only to provide a calm rest for the baby, but also to contribute to the correct formation of the musculoskeletal system. A wide range of mattresses for newborns makes it possible to find the best option for any wallet.

Experts conducted a thorough market analysis, studied user reviews and opinions of pediatricians, and compiled a rating that included the 9 best mattresses for newborns.

How to choose a mattress for a newborn

1. The size. A mattress for a newborn child should correspond to the length and width of the bed, so that there are no voids around the perimeter, and the product does not slide out, creating discomfort. If the mattress turns out to be larger than the niche of the bed, this will lead to deformation and loss of properties, which is unacceptable. Mattresses for newborns 120 x 60 cm are considered standard. Note that most modern baby cots have the same dimensions, so there will be no problems with the selection. If you plan to use an old crib, for example, one that got as a gift from one of your relatives, then before you go to the store for a mattress, be sure to measure it.
2. Rigidity. One of the defining selection criteria. The correct formation of the musculoskeletal system of the newborn depends on the degree of rigidity of the sleeping surface. Do not forget that up to three years old baby needs firm mattresses. It is impractical to buy orthopedic models, since the baby has not yet developed spinal curves. A mattress for newborn babies should not slip under the weight and follow the contours of the body. The consequence of an incorrectly selected model can be a severe curvature of posture. Pediatricians insist that hard or moderately hard mattresses should be purchased for children in the first years of life.
3. Filler. Give preference to environmentally friendly, hypoallergenic, preferably natural fillers. The inner material must be well ventilated and free of toxic fumes. In stores you can find mattresses with coconut fiber, artificial or natural latex, polyurethane foam, seaweed, horsehair, batting. The best and most popular are coconut coir products, sometimes supplemented with foam latex. Mattresses with such filler have optimal rigidity, moisture resistance, elasticity. Coyra is not subject to decay, as it creates the right microclimate: in winter the baby will not be cold, and in summer it will not be hot. Models with horsehair or seaweed are less popular as they are not suitable for everyone. In some, these materials can provoke an allergic reaction. They are also not resistant to moisture, prey and deform. In no case should you buy a wadded mattress, as over time dust accumulates inside it and a variety of parasites that cause rhinitis, bronchitis, asthma and other diseases of the respiratory system are spread.
4. Cover material. Stop the choice on coarse calico or jacquard. These materials are sufficiently durable, hypoallergenic, breathable and pleasant to the skin. It is better if the mattress for a newborn baby has two covers: an inner and an outer removable. Do not forget to purchase a mattress topper to protect the product from dust accumulation and leaks.
