What would be better? This mattress or a soybean organic one?

I've only been using this for 2 months but I based my purchase on a very enthusiastic review from another user who also posted multiple updates. All of their updates said that it was holding up great. It really does seem to be of very good quality.

Depends on what is important to you, I suppose. I don't worry about organic clothing or materials in the same manner that I do about the food we consume. Price-wise, I think this mattress is hard to beat. We replaced one that wasn't even that old and was already sagging. We didn't want a plasticky feel on the new mattress. This mattress feels nice and seems to be great quality. It is firm, which is what we were wanting.

I did get the mattress recommended for it on Amazon! It's perfect and comfortable!

We've had this mattress for 2.5 years (1 year on infant side and 1.5 on toddler side) and haven't really noticed much of any sag. Just like any mattress, whether it's for a child or an adult, rotating (not flipping) it every once in a while is probably a good idea though. Honestly, If you're on the fence, aiso check out the Lullaby Earth Super Lightweight Crib Mattress 2-stage. It's made by the same company, except I believe that the Naturepedic line offers organic materials whereas Lullaby Earth does not. The Lullaby Earth is a very good option if you want a mattress that's free from chemicals (and you don't mind that it's not organic).

I don't believe the mattress was organic. I purchased an organic cover and sheet. We used a lamb skin also.

NO it's not. The outer layer is made with vinyl which has toxins- especially detrimental to infants. Consider an organic mattress instead

The Big Agnes air mattress I had was comfortable but terrible slick. I spent half the night sliding around. Much better to get a Thermarest sleeping pad. It's bulkier when rolled up but much more comfortable, especially on a concrete floor. Go with a Thermarest pad!!

No need for an extra mattress, in fact it's unsafe to use an additional mattress. I ordered the organic cotton sheet recommended as an add on and it's fabulous!

I had this mattress for 2yrs & it worked great until I became pregnant. Then the mattress felt too soft & not enough support. My body changed permanently after birth so I had to buy the tempurpedic (the firmest model) which is much more comfortable & therefore worth the price. Guess it just depends on how much support you need.

I ended up just looking up cradle mattresses and bought the one with the best reviews. The one I got had an extra thickness to it but it was two years ago so I can't remember the exact one.

We bought this Sealy Soybean Foam Core and we think it was perfect for this crib. Fits perfectly and it should be very nice and safe.Sealy Soybean Foam-Core Crib Mattress (Design pattern may vary)

God love you. Same thing happened to me. I bought the 11" memory foam. Only one person mentioned that the mattress was very firm and that was unfortunately after I purchased it. Damn thing kept getting harder, and I kept buying more foam toppers for comfort. Fortunately, my mom needed a new mattress and she has to have very firm. I gave her the hard 11" and ordered an 8" pressure relief memory foam and I love it. Feels so good to sleep on my side and not wake up hurting! So forget trying to "fix" that hard mattress and just get another one. You will quickly forget about the money you threw away! God love you. Same thing happened to me. I bought the 11" memory foam.

I also have a true tempurpedic at home and we spent close to $3000 on it. We bought a second home last fall and purchased the sleep innovations foam mattress for that house. I honestly prefer the sleep innovations mattress. We also have had guests stay there and have asked about the mattress and gone on to purchase one themselves. I will say that the sleep innovations is more firm than the tempurpedic so you must like a very firm mattress.

You need to buy a separate mattress! A firm one, better for the baby's back!

I also put a Sealy mattress in it and it fit perfectly.Although it wasn't a "Soybean", but rather a "Baby Posturepedic Crown Jewel", I wouldn't expect a single manufacturer, i.e., Sealy, to make crib mattresses in different sizes across mattress models, so if the mattress I bought fit so well, I would expect that yours would fit exactly the same.I think that as long as it says, "Crib and Toddler Bed Mattress" as mine did, you needn't be concerned.

This is what I found online about soy foam which is what is in this mattress along with the latex. But I would suggest you google it also to see what you can find on the subject. "The current market is in a craze over soy-foam. Marketed as being better for the environment than polyurethane based foams, we did some research to see what this 'green' foam was all about. As it turns out, Soy foam is not much better than poly-based foam, and some people would argue that it has the same impact. Soy foam is actually made the same way as the polyurethane based foam, with 20% of the mixture being replaced as soy product. So the foam is 20% soy, 33% isocyanates, and 47% polyurethane.? Due to the polyurethane content, the foam still requires the toxic flame retardants, and the foam contains the same level of isocyanates. Currently, soy foam also biodegrades at the same rate as poly-based foam. The reason for the low percentage of soy content is that when soy is present at higher levels it produces an undesirable, burnt smell. In addition, the use of pesticides and fertilizers on the soy crop have a negative impact on the environment, as do the mono cultures in which soy is planted. Soy is such a diverse and valuable food source that it may not be used best as a plastic substitute."

A standard crib mattress fit ours. We purchased sealy soybean mattress on amazon and it works great! All our sheets are standard fitted sheets over a waterproof crib cover. We love the crib!

Other reviewers say it's only an organic cover. So its inside content is not organic. However the cover should protect your baby from anything on the inside. BUT I only know that from other reviewers. I appreciated that there were no funky smells with this mattress, meaning it has less chemicals than memory foam.
