This is the first in a series of baby product reviews I will be doing in the upcoming weeks. With my daughter-in-law expecting our first grandchild in August we are searching for the best quality products at affordable prices for the precious new addition to the family.
The first product I would like to feature in my Must Have’s For New Moms is the Twilight Spring Coil Mattress by Dream On Me. This mattress can be used for a crib or a toddler bed and sells for under $50.00. My daughter-in-law and I found this mattress to be an excellent choice for first time mom’s.
You might not think that a mattress is something you shouldn’t give much thought to for an infant but that is incorrect. You’ll want to make sure the mattress fits properly in the crib you’ve selected without gaps that could pose a danger to your baby. The mattress should be firm, a soft one can conform to the shape of your baby’s head or face, increasing the risk of suffocation or even sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).
Here is an article we found on the Consumer Reports’ website that lays out all the do’s and don’t’s when you are making the decision on what type of mattress to buy your new baby. https://www.consumerreports.org/cro/crib-mattresses/buying-guide/index.htm
Unfortunately we do not have the baby’s crib set up yet (room is under construction) so I was not able to show you the mattress in place. This is your standard sized crib/toddler bed mattress.
All Dream On Me Mattresses are GREENGUARD Gold Certified for a healthy indoor environment for your baby. This is one of the features that sold my daughter-in-law and I on this line of baby mattresses. Exposing baby to toxic chemicals is disturbing and should be avoided as much as possible. Dream On Me cares about the safety of your baby and not just making a profit.
This baby mattress is constructed with quality materials and workmanship and is manufactured with pride in the USA. My husband loved that it was made in the USA.
This lightweight mattress offers 80 durable, interwoven, heat tempered, steel coils providing supreme comfort and support. A protective polyurethane foam wrap on each side delivers a plush sleeping surface for your baby.
Features include a hypo-allergenic, foam insulating layer and lock-stitched waterproof binding for lasting durability and a layer of Fire blocker, a blend of fibers that help isolate the impact of a fire and limit its spread.
Triple laminated waterproof cover is stain-resistant to help protect against liquids leaking inside. Wipes clean with mild soap and water. Some mattresses have thin vinyl coverings and edgings that can tear, crack, and dry out over time. This can create a real danger to your infant. That is why I loved the fact that Dream On Me has a triple layer laminated over on all their mattresses.
Passes all Flammability tests (16 CFR 1632 /1633) and also pass phthalate, lead and toxicity tests.
Dream On Me is so confident in their product that this mattress carries a 10 year limited warranty against manufacturer’s defects and materials.
