Newton Baby Crib Mattress and Toddler Bed - Ultra-Breathable Proven to Reduce Suffocation Risk, 100% Washable, 2-Stage, Non-Toxic Better Than Organic, Removable Cover - Deluxe 5.5" Thick- White

***UPDATE***My daughter ended up using this for two years. It never sagged or got an indentation. It was so easy to clean and air dry. I only stopped using it when my daughter got too tall for a crib and I got her a twin bed.Another bonus - since this is such a high quality mattress, you can sell it when you're done. I sold mine at a local consignment sale for $50 after two years of use - so happy I got this and if I had another baby I'd buy a new one to bring them home from the hospital to.I never put any sheet or anything on it. I highly recommend HALO sleep sacks for babies and toddlers. No need for any sheets or blankets on the bed.***ORIGINAL REVIEW BELOW***When my daughter was around 6 months old and learned to roll over, my husband and I were scared half to death to frequently find her face down, hands cupping her cheeks, during her naps. We would immediately turn her head to the side and a couple times she gasped for air when we did. Some people tried to assure me that, once babies can roll over, there's nothing to worry about when they sleep since they'll automatically turn their heads when they need air. However, after looking into it, I found research that babies who are used to sleeping on their backs, once they finally roll over and sleep on their stomachs for the first time, have a 20% or so higher chance of suffocating than infants who sleep on their stomachs from birth, because they aren't used to it and sometimes don't rouse themselves in time.We weren't able to sleep without constantly checking on her. I researched options and found the Newton breathable crib mattress. After reading everything on their website, I decided it was the one. It doesn't off-gas, it doesn't have chemicals, it's mostly air. We ordered it on Prime instead of from their website directly to get faster shipping. Once it arrived my husband and I, like others here, tested it by pressing our faces down against it and trying to breathe - it is a bit stuffy, of course, but you can breathe. And it doesn't smell like anything. No need to air it out before baby uses it.It is more firm than our "firm" crib mattress we were using previously. Our daughter doesn't leave any indent in it at all. It looks incredibly easy to clean; just use some cold water. It's some kind of polymer in a 3-D web. The cover is padded but has holes and layers so that it doesn't block air. Don't put any sheet or water-proof cover on this mattress, as that would block the air. It really doesn't need those things, since even if pee leaked or spit up got on it you just wash it off. It has nothing that could get moldy like other mattresses.Of course, we don't want to teach our daughter that it's okay to sleep with her face down, so if we find her like that, we do turn her head. But now we aren't constantly worried about her suffocating if we happen to not notice her being face down. For peace of mind, I highly recommend this mattress. We're going to move our daughter back to her original mattress once she's a toddler and save this one for when we have the next baby.

I got this mattress for my son because I wanted a breathable mattress for peace of mind. It's a perfect firmness, and he loves sleeping in his bed! There was no smell upon arrival that I noticed which was really nice. I buried my face into it and tested it out and was able to breathe. I did purchase the waterproof mattress cover for easy cleaning/washing, but the mattress itself also seems easy enough to clean if needed, though I haven't had to yet. Overall, would definitely buy again!

I love this mattress. My 7mo daughter started to roll onto her belly at night. She would face plant right in her standard crib mattress. and although she was sleeping, I was not. I would roll her back over every hour throughout the night because I was so concerned she would suffocate. No longer able to take the anxiety, I did some research. I literally googled “best breathable crib mattress” and the Newton came up in every article. I read all reviews, good and bad, and decided to make the purchase. I am SO glad I did. To test it, like any weirdo mom, I smooshed my face in it as hard as a could and breathed for a few minutes. No obstructions... except maybe my own smooshed nose. Also worth noting, it seems much more comfortable than your standard crib mattress that feels like a pile of cardboard. It has a lot more give- which I’m ok with since it is actually breathable. I find that my daughter seems to stir and whine less at night. My assumption is because it is, in fact, more comfortable. Also worth noting is that there aren’t any toxins or nasties. A++ would recommend. Worth every penny. My only complaint is that it’s slightly larger than a normal crib mattress and it’s kind of annoying getting it in and out of the crib to change the cover. But really that’s nothing compared to sleepless nights and anxiety over the safety of my child.
