For instance there are pillow top and quilt top mattresses designed for babies and these crib mattresses can be found in a variety of firmness levels.

There are a number of things to look for when shopping for crib mattresses. Most importantly, check the measurements of the mattress to ensure that it will fit snugly inside the crib frame. There shouldn’t be more then two finger widths distance between the mattress and frame. This should prevent any part of the baby from becoming lodged in the gap, potentially resulting in serious injury or even death. Choose a firm mattress. If its too soft, it may inhibit the baby’s breathing. For durability look for a mattress with a multi-layer cover. A good crib mattress can be found for under $100.00. Mattresses over $100.00 rarely have any more useful features then the cheaper models.

Crib mattresses can be purchased in specialty stores, department stores, discount stores and on the internet. Prices range from about $25.00 to upwards of $300.00. Though one can usually expect to spend between $75.00 and $100.00. Toys R Us, Babies R Us, Walmart, Target, Baby Depot and Sears are some examples of stores which carry mattresses for cribs.
