Mattress

The most comfortable mattresses did not sink, which means they provide enough support to stop your child from falling off or suffocating in bed. A few of the mattresses we tested have covers that can be washed and removed that is waterproof and zips shut. This makes cleaning and maintaining them more simple.

Crib Rails

Crib Hardware

Some crib design features are strictly aesthetic and are subject to personal preference, however other features -- like the style of the slats on the crib or the possibility of it converting into a toddler bed- can have a significant impact on the user-friendliness of the crib as well as its longevity. The best crib newborn cribs are made of solid wood, meet numerous safety standards, and can be easily configured to different mattress heights.
