Crib Mattress Cost

Typical costs:

• According to MySimon[1] , crib mattresses range from $30-$230. Anything in the $90-$150 range is considered ideal.

• Parents should plan to purchase mattress pads, which are available for $20-$25 at JC Penney.
• Parents will also need fitted crib sheets, which are available in a number of collections, including "Seaside"[2] and "Barnyard"[3] for $24 at babyGap[4] . Optional matching quilts, blankets and bed skirts increase the cost significantly.
• Sears[5] offers a number of Trend Lab[6] four-piece crib sets for $159.

• According to MySimon.com[7] if you can place more than two fingers between the mattress and the crib, the fit isn't snug enough, and the mattress could be a danger to your baby.
• Innerspring models should be firm, not soft; come with good border rods; and have visible ventilation holes.
• When selecting a foam mattress, look for a high-density model. Mattress covers/ticking should be sturdy and preferably waterproof.
• Mattresses should be in compliance with Technical Bulletin 603, a flammability standard adopted by California that went into effect on Jan. 1, 2005 (more information is available from The Bureau of Home Furnishings and Thermal Insulation).
• Trusted brands include Colgate[8] , Evenflo[9] , Kolcraft, Sealy[10] (available through Kolcraft[11] ) and Simmons. Sealy and Simmons crib mattresses are available at JC Penney for $70-$119.
• Sears[12] carries a limited number of Sealy and Kolcraft models for $59-$99.
