Infant Cribs: Best Crib Mattress For New Infants
Infant cribs are a critically important environment for a new baby. In fact, it's safe to say that it's the single most important surrounding in the first months of life, so it's important to know how to buy the best nursery crib mattress. With an inferior mattress, the baby won't develop as well.
Infant crib mattresses are basically manufactured in two different forms: innerspring and polyurethane foam. Which one to choose for a baby depends on several factors.
We often think that the more coils in a mattress = higher quality. Certainly this is often true, but not always. Instead, look for the highest amount of steel in an infant innerspring mattress. The border rods are the edges support infants and go through to the toddler years where they are much more active and weigh more. A recommended standard is: 150 coil mattress with 13.5 gauge carbon tempered steel coils and 9.0 gauge steel border rods.

If you are considering an innerspring mattress for your infant crib, know that there are two important factors:
The number of layers in the mattress
The quality of each layer
In an innerspring crib mattress, an insulator pad is the other important piece. This pad fits over the coils to prevents the top layers of the mattress, on which the infant will rest, from depressing into the mattress coils. A product called 'coir fiber' is the best quality - and most expensive mattress insulator pad. Cheaper substitutes will not hold up over time.
The two parts of a foam mattress are the foam itself and the cover. We have all seen older foam that discolors, gets hard and breaks apart in pieces. Generally, today's foam is of better quality - if it is specifically for infant crib mattresses. Really cheap stuff, like that used in packing material, is put into cheap baby mattresses. You want to avoid this at all costs!

crib mattress states emphatically that "Bacteria,
mildew, and mold cannot live in latex foam."
Here's what to look for to find high quality foam:
The infant crib mattress should be thick and dense. Almost always, the heavier and thicker foam mattress is superior.
The mattress should be able to retain its shape. If it is folded, for instance, it should quickly resume the original shape rather than meandering back.
Firmness is highly desired and dense foam will usually provide this firmness.
