We're expecting our first child and it feels like there are a million and one little decisions that have to be made. As new parents, we want to make the best decisions we can. Picking a crib mattress is daunting and it took me months to settle on this one. Our budget was $200 and I tried to find the safest green mattress I could for that price. Our second runner up was the Divinci Willow mattress. We ultimately decided on this one because it is Greenguard certified for no off-gassing and it is lighter weight for easy sheet changes. We purchased the mattress on sale at around $132 and applied a registry completion of 10% and 5% amazon mom discount for a total of $112 paid. It is a great value!
We are very happy with our purchase. When we opened the mattress there was zero odor. It is lightweight, even for someone who is 8 months pregnant. It fit perfectly in our standard sized crib (Divinci Jenny Lind). It is firm but not uncomfortable. We are planning to put an organic cotton mattress pad cover on it to give it a little more loft and to cover the sleeping area with organic cotton instead of the vinyl of the mattress.
This is not the greenest mattress you can find. The cover is vinyl and the insides are not 100% natural. Still, for the price it is a great value and safer than cheaper alternatives. There are no flame retardants and no off-gassing. You can pay 10x more for a wool mattress, but that wasn't in our budget nor did we feel it was a real priority for our family. If you have a higher budget, the Naturepedic No Compromise mattress is greener than this one but it is 3x the cost. I would definitely recommend this mattress to others and expect we will be happy with it for years to come!
