The crib mattress is one of the most important purchases you will make for the nursery since a good crib mattress is thought to reduce the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). For this reason, consumers with a finite budget for a crib and mattress should consider a less expensive crib and purchase one of the better crib mattresses. The difference in cost between a low cost/ low quality crib mattress and one of the top crib mattresses is only thirty or forty dollars. The crib mattress rated #1 by a leading consumer magazine for the past 10 years, and top pick by the Baby Bargain Book - the Colgate Classica 1 foam crib mattress (a high density foam mattress) should cost about $110 while a low density foam crib mattress with a thin vinyl cover should retail from $49 to $60. For the safety of your newborn child, the price difference is negligible.
All Colgate crib mattresses that Great Beginnings sells are the new Fire Retardant Colgate Classica Mattress that meet the new Federal & California fire safety regulations.
