IKEA
4.5
(25)
"It is affordable and non-toxic."
"The mattress we have for ours is the peleplutte? Whatever looks closest to that; pretty sure it's the cheapest one and it's also highly rated in consumer reports."
"I would recommend Ikea or looking on Babylist for something in your budget range."
"The IKEA Sniglar is extremely reasonable (around $120), and they will deliver to you."
"I second the IKEA Sniglar!"
"I would probably do this for the Ikea Sniglar or one of their other cribs since it’s a clean, budget friendly option."
"Ikea has budget-friendly cribs and mattresses that I'd feel infinitely better about than something from Amazon."
"I couldn’t find any good reason to buy anything more expensive!"

Newton

(10)
"Newton, easily. It’s waterproof. You’ll have to google it to see what I mean. It’s also insanely comfy. Best thing we ever purchased especially when flu season had hit."
"We have a Newton Galileo mini crib and love it!"
"This one is huge and it comes with a bassinet insert - which we loved for traveling in the first couple of months."
"My daughter has been happy on it— no issues to report!"
"I’ve personally used the Newton Baby Crib Mattress, and I can’t recommend it enough."
"We splurged on a Newton bassinet because that looked like the most breathable one."
"We LOVE our Newton and figure we will get 3-5 years out of it!!"
"I got it because of its breathability, which to me was important when LO started rolling! Believe me that gives a person such peace of mind!"
"It truly is insane how much more breathable it is than a regular mattress for a crib. Once my baby started rolling over on his own and basically smashing his face into his crib in the middle of the night, I was very happy I spent the money on it for my peace of mind."
"So far it has served us well in all our travels since my daughter was big for her age, they're roomier than most travel cribs."
