Bedding
When it comes to crib bedding, there are a lot of options available. It's not just about picking a pattern that matches your aesthetic.

Mattress
When it is about crib mattresses, firmness and size are essential. The AAP recommends a firm mattress that fits snugly and does not leave an impression when you lay a sheet down on it. The mattress should be the right size for the crib and remain in place, even after your child has grown out of it.
Additionally, you'll need to be aware of whether the mattress is made up of chemicals that could be harmful to your child. Find mattresses that are odorless and free of volatile organic compounds (VOCs)--which frequently emit a noxious chemical smell. A good indication is a CertiPUR-US certificate which confirms that the foam used in mattresses is free of ozone depleters, PBDEs, TDCPP and TCEP flame retardants mercury, lead, and other heavy metals, formaldehyde, phthalates regulated by the Consumer Product Safety Commission, and volatile organic compounds.

The best mattresses did not sink, which means they offer enough support to keep your child from falling off or suffocating in bed.

Crib Hardware
