With the arrival of a newborn at home, especially if it is the first, the whole family focuses on providing those essential products to prepare for the arrival of the little one. However, on many occasions, the crib or mini-crib mattress goes unnoticed and tends to be our pending subject since, until not long ago, crib mattresses have been an accessory product for which there was hardly any specific offer. Babies, just like adults, have special needs to meet in terms of rest. And the mattress is the surface where they spend more than 50% of their time throughout the day! Don't you think it's something to consider? What to consider when choosing the best mattress From a whole variety of crib mattresses suitable for the baby, we need to focus on one essential variable: age. The selection of the mattress for the baby's crib based on their age allows us to choose the best product: a mattress that is an appropriate surface for their weight and height and that is also suitable for their growth. In addition, we must take into account other elements, such as a non-chemical and hypoallergenic composition of the mini-crib mattress or crib mattresses, as well as the breathability or other properties that help prevent common syndromes in the early stages of growth (including flat head syndrome or plagiocephaly, and sudden death from asphyxia). How the best crib mattress for your baby should be - Suitable for the baby's age, weight, and height. - Breathable and hygienic. - Designed to prevent conditions like plagiocephaly. - Made with baby-friendly materials, hypoallergenic, and with quality certifications.
