Colgate Classica III Dual Firmness Foam Crib Mattress
-----------------------------------------------------
The Colgate Classica III is a high quality, lightweight, 8.5 lb
orthopedic-style dual firmness Infant / Toddler foam crib
mattress. The extra supportive infant side is very firm as most
medical experts recommend for infants. The less firm, more
comfortable toddler side is still firm, but a little less so than
the infant side. Square corners ensure a snug, safe fit in all
standard American cribs and toddler beds.
The Colgate Classica III mattress is 5" thick and, at only 8.5
lbs, makes for easy sheet changing. The mattress cover is triple
layered, reinforced, waterproof, tear-resistant, and
non-enic. Plus, durability is assured with strong cloth
binding and the mattress stays fresh with a double row of eyelet
vents. Mattress cleanup is easy with a damp cloth and mild soap.
Colgate's Classica III features high-quality CertiPUR-US
certified safe foam. This mattress passes all federal and state
requirements for flammability and composition and has
been GREENGUARD certified to have no harmful air emissions.
Colgate's mattresses are made in the USA.
GREENGUARD Certified
--------------------
Colgate’s product line of crib mattresses have been awarded the
GREENGUARD Children and Schools certification for indoor air
quality. The Children and Schools certification, GREENGUARD’s
strict standard designed for products used in daycare, K-12, and
care facilities, addresses the unique sensitivities of
children and other sensitive population groups. This standard
places additional limits on s that are known to adversely
affect child development. Colgate has been manufacturing foam and
innerspring crib mattresses, foam pads, and crib mattress and pad
accessories in Atlanta for over half a century.
Choosing a Crib Mattress
------------------------
There are a lot of choices in the crib mattress category, so
choosing the right one can be intimidating. Here are a few quick
tips to keep in mind as you begin your search:
* Don’t compare the attributes of your adult mattress to your
child’s crib mattress. Firmer is better when it comes to babies.
* Your baby’s soft s and muscles need more support than an
adult’s.
* When choosing a foam mattress, the firmer and heavier the foam
- and the faster it returns to its original flat shape when
weight is removed - the better.
* The innerspring design is the most classic. The more layers and
the higher quality those layers are, the better the mattress.
* Look for quality materials in the innerspring mattress comfort
layers that won’t compress over time.
* All materials that come in contact with your baby’s skin should
be safe. Look for Greenguard and CertiPUR-US seals of approval.
The firmer the foam - and the faster the foam returns to its
original flat shape when weight is removed - the better the
mattress

FAQ
---
What is the difference between a foam mattress and an innerspring
mattress?
Innerspring mattresses are a tried-and-true industry standard and
a great option. One of the biggest advantages of foam mattresses
is that they usually weigh between eight and 14 pounds, as
compared to an innerspring mattress which can weigh 20+ pounds.
This does make a difference when changing the sheets. In the end
it comes down to personal preference, and there is no wrong
decision.
Do all crib mattresses come in the same size? How should the
mattress fit in the crib?
The size range for all standard crib mattresses is regulated by
the Federal government. The minimum crib mattress size is is 27
1/4 inches x 51 5/8 inches, and not thicker than six inches.
Cribs are also regulated, but their interior dimensions have a
"plus or minus" tolerance from the standard 28 inch x 52 inch
rectangle. Therefore, depending on the specific crib and mattress
combination, the mattress may be either very snug or moderately
snug in the crib. The Consumer Product Safety Commission sets the
standards for crib and crib mattress sizes and how the
combination should fit.
Why are crib mattresses so hard? Will it be uncomfortable for my
baby?
For infants, the crib mattress is much more than just a ing
surface; it’s their growth and developmental center. In fact,
infants will spend up to 70% of their day on a crib mattress.
They need a firm, flat, even surface to maximize their
development. The firm surface is particularly important both
during periods of and when the infant begins to become more
active in the crib. They need the firm surface as they begin to
push up, turn, and eventually stand in the crib. A solid base
provides the resistance necessary for developing and
strengthening muscles. Firmer is better.
