What mattress is perfect for this crib?

Any standard crib mattress will work (we used a Sealey orthopedic), but when you try to covert it to the toddler bed it requires a larger size mattress that is no longer made, and is impossible to find. I have looked all over the internet trying to find the mattress that this crib requires. I found one site that carried it, it was discontinued, and it had a list price over $200. As I listed in my other review, this a great crib until you want to use the convertible option.

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)

The Serta Perfect Start is great because it's 6 inches thick for those concerned about height issues.

I have been using ikea cribs, I have two mattresses for my 5 month and 18 month and love them. It's just a tight fit which is great in the crib. No loosening pacifiers and spit cloths....you just have to push down the corners to fit the foam mattress. It compresses to fit.

Standard mattresses should work, but there are always variances so its safe to measure and check. I just purchased this and the instructions say "Infants can suffocate in gaps between crib sides and a mattress that is too small. ANY mattress used in this crib must be at least 27-1/4in (69cm) by 51-5/8in (131cm) with a thickness not exceeding 6in (15cm) and a minimum thickness of 4in (10cm). The dimensions of the mattress shall be taken from seam to seam or edge to edge where appropriate. " Hope that helps someone on the interwebs.

I actually think it's nicer than the expensive crib my kids have. You buy the quality of mattress you like or can afford. The rails have a plastic runner on them. I love this crib!

I bought the dream on me 5'' coil mattress for portable crib. It fits great and it's perfect for my baby. When I first got the portable crib I bought the foam one. It's too hard and that's why I got the coil one. I highly recommend it.

Sounds like a standard (or very close to standard) size crib mattress. Should fit fine. There is a lot of elastic in the bottom portion. I'd go for it. We LOVE ours!!

I bought the Dream on Me 3" foam pack and play mattress for $39.99 at Walmart. It's a good quality mattress and our baby loved sleeping on it. Any standard size pack and play sheet will work. We use the brand Kushies.

A regular standard sized mattress fits the crib. I ordered the Sealy Baby - Ortho Rest Crib and Toddler Mattress from Walmart for $60, and it fits perfect. The mattress measures 51.625 x 27.25 x 5.25.

I love this crib, I'm the grama so don't use it on a daily basis but it suits my needs just fine. The thin mattress is ok cuz they say not to use one that is more than 3" and I can't find one of those.

Go around to some mattress shops in your town and try them out. Especially the memory foam and latex ones, and make notes of the ones you like. If you have the names of the models of national brands that you like, you'll be able to give Chuck a better idea of what you like. I personally said pretty much the same as you and probably would have picked an 8 going in cold. I went to a Tempurpedic shop and tried out the mattresses and realized I wanted one just a little bit firmer, so when I corresponded with Chuck I picked a 7, and I'm very happy with it. But you're the only who can decide.
