All parents are plagued with a million doubts when we are about to choose the perfect crib mattress for our baby. At Colchón Exprés we have a firm commitment to our clients that we provide them with the best rest options for all family members. And that, of course, includes the crib mattresses.
In our Crib mattresses category, you can take a look at the best mattresses on the market for babies. All of them certified by specialists, with different treatments and properties that will make your baby enjoy the best rest at home.
We must not forget that newborns spend more than 16 hours a day sleeping, the first months of life, therefore, having the right mattress to do so, and that it protects them as much as possible, is essential for them to have proper development.
In addition, parents often invest a a fortune in childcare items such as the stroller, highchair for eating, the decoration of the room or the safety chair of the mattress, accessories that are very important, but that are not as important in the adequate rest and development of the baby as that he spends most of his sleeping hours, on an adequate resting surface, that satisfies all his needs and that meets all the standards that allow us parents to be calm because our child is resting on a surface safe.

Indispensable requirements for crib mattresses

At Colchón Exprés we want to convey to parents who wish to choose a safe and healthy crib mattress for their children, the requirements that these rest surfaces must meet. And these, according to the indications of pediatricians, midwives and experts in back care, are the following:

That have adequate firmness, neither too firm (because they promote plagiocephaly or flat head syndrome in infants), nor too soft, because they cause an increase in body temperature, which causes excess sweating in the baby, which causes their sleep to be interrupted and therefore therefore do not rest properly
That are super breathable and anti-suffocation. According to the Spanish Pediatric Association, it is recommended that all babies under 6 months of age always sleep on their backs to reduce the risk of sudden death in infants. But if for any reason, the baby manages to turn face down, the mattress must provide the necessary perspiration so that the baby can breathe without difficulty in this position.
The ideal is for the mattress to have removable covers. At this stage, nocturnal leaks, vomiting, drooling, bottle liquids and other substances that can stain the mattress cover are common, causing it to accumulate bacteria, odors and pathogenic organisms that can endanger the health of our baby. Therefore, the ideal is that the mattress cover can be easily removed and washed in the washing machine, in order to have a sanitized sleeping surface at all times.
That the size of the mattress corresponds to the size of the crib. According to the WHO, there should not be a gap of more than 2.5 cm on each side of the mattress, between it and the crib, to prevent the baby from getting trapped in those gaps, or putting a little hand in, or allowing the baby to get into a strange position that helps him turn around. For this reason, we must carefully measure the space in the crib for placing the mattress and order it based on the space available and the clearance recommended by experts.
That all the materials used in the manufacture of the mattress where the baby will rest, have certificates that prove that they are free of substances harmful to the little ones (oëko-tex certificate, sanitized, certipur…)
That they have a hypoallergenic outer fabric and anti-mite treatment, to protect the baby as much as possible
