Last year, I was looking for a reliable organic mini crib mattress that we could use at Grandma's house. I wanted to stick with organic, but I was on a pretty tight budget. So spending three or four hundred dollars was simply not an option.
Take a look at some of the attractive features that I noticed:
Contains an organic cotton cover that is waterproof
The mattress filling is also natural organic cotton
Extra firm for proper support
Features a non-toxic fire barrier system
Doesn't contain any harmful phthalates or polyurethane foam
Well, I am glad I found the Naturepedic Organic Cotton Portacrib Mattress. The mattress itself measures 24" x 38" x 1.5". I really like how this Naturepedic organic mattress features organic and healthy materials for your baby's safety and comfort. The non-toxic fire barrier system is also a great feature. It is very difficult to find a quality 100% organic mini crib mattress, but this one fits the bill. It is also fairly reasonably priced for being made of 100% organic cotton.
Here's what others are saying about this mattress:
"This is a wonderful mattress for your baby. Most commercial baby mattresses have so many harmful chemical processes and those chemicals continue to "fume" off the mattress while your baby is sleeping on it. This mattress does not have those and is safe for your baby."
"I bought this for a portable crib I purchased for my son. We temporarily relocated to another city and I didn't want to drag my full size crib with us. So I needed a decent temporary crib. The mattress that the crib came with was unusable, so thin and flimsy. I got this and it's very nice thickness and perfect firmness for my son."
"This mattress fits perfectly in my son's mini crib. His little bed is firm and very comfortable, and I am very happy with it. I would highly recommend it."
They are both fantastic options and get rave reviews by parents all over the country. Both measure 38" x 24" x 3", and both will fit your Mini/Portable Crib. Although you won't find the same organic properties in these two Dream on Me crib mattresses as you will with the Naturepedic organic mini crib mattress, you can't go wrong with anything made by Dream on Me. Also, many parents and grandparents find the 3" Dream on Me mini crib mattresses to be perfect for use with Pack N' Plays. See for yourself:
"We had purchased a "Pack n Play" for our grand-daughter, thinking she could sleep in it at our house. The bottom was so hard she didn't sleep. I started looking for a small mattress. It's PERFECT for the "Pack n Plays"."
"Very nice, wish I would have had it two years ago when I used my pack n play more. Helps to make the surface easier for a larger baby to sleep on."
