Best Organic Crib Mattress Protector

We highly recommend having an organic crib mattress protector (often also referred to as a non toxic crib mattress protector) to safeguard your crib mattress from accidents.

In this article, we'll provide quick roundup of the best organic crib mattress protectors along with some other tips.

You'll want to invest in one of these protectors when you buy your crib mattress. Don't wait to buy a protector because diaper leaks are inevitable and the cost of a protector is usually significantly less than the investment in the crib mattress. In fact, to optimize shipping costs, it's often a good choice to bundle this purchase in with the mattress.

Another pro tip - save yourself some late night hassles and purchase 2 mattress protectors if your budget allows so that you can have one on the ready when you need to swap. The main thing any parent wants during a late night wakeup is to help their baby (and themselves) get back to sleep. Having a spare set of sheets and another mattress protector saves valuable time. Also, just because you change the sheets once - there's no guarantee there won't be another accident by morning. The last thing you want to deal with is letting your baby's crib mattress get wet and potentially ruined with stains.
