When it comes to toddler mattresses, a few basic but important factors need to be considered. Durability should naturally be on top of the list, but equally significant is the materials out of which the toddler mattress is made.
In this regard, three products come highly recommended as they have all met the two factors apart from satisfying a good number of customers. These include the Colgate Classica I Foam, the Colgate Classica III Foam, and the Sealy Soybean Foam-Core.
Colgate Classica I Foam
The Colgate Classica I Foam is considered by many to be highly durable. One mother originally bought the toddler mattress three years ago and found that this has been able to withstand numerous bed movements, mostly consisting of quick changes that normally happen to babies during the night. The mattress is still functional up to now, although a bit mashed up at the corners.
Costing $149.00, another customer found this toddler mattress not only fitting snuggly but thick enough to last way beyond the toddler years. One concern, though, that both customers have is the kind of sheet that should go with the mattress as the cheaper brands tend to get torn easily when fitted with the Colgate Classica I.
Colgate Classica III Foam
Priced a little higher at $159.00 is the Colgate Classica III Foam which is considered similar to the Colgate Classica I Foam, but contains a few distinctive features. These features were the basis upon which one customer made a purchase.
In particular, the customer said he opted for this toddler mattress as it had low density, making this softer than the others. He also said that being made of lightweight materials, it was quite easy for him to remove the Colgate Classica III Foam when changing sheets.
Its snug fit property fills up the spaces in the crib so your toddler will not get his arm or leg unnecessarily caught up in between his crib and the toddler mattress.
The vent holes of this toddler mattress are likewise important since these serve as breathing holes. The customer said her daughter is beginning to enjoy jumping up and down her crib. Thankfully, the vent holes help lessen the impact on the mattress with every jump that his daughter makes.
Sealy Soybean Foam-Core
On the other hand, another customer settled for the Sealy Soybean Foam-Core mainly because this did not carry any toxic materials. He said it was important for him to get an organic toddler mattress for his baby for safety reasons.
He found what he needed in the soybean foam mattress manufactured by Sealy as this has been proven to be without lead and various chemicals. More importantly, this toddler mattress is being offered at the more affordable price of $131.54.
