When it comes to crib mattresses, two of the leading brands are Naturepedic and Newton. Both offer a variety of mattress types that have been designed to provide your little one with a comfortable sleep surface, but there are some differences between them.
Naturepedic is known for their organic materials and natural fibers which are hypoallergenic and free from any harsh chemicals. They use a combination of organic cotton, wool batting, and coconut coir for cushioning; all which are then encased in either a waterproof or breathable fabric cover. The Naturepedic mattresses also have an easy-to-clean surface that is water repellent, and the mattress core is designed to provide long-term support and durability.
Newton, on the other hand, offers a range of mattresses that are made with their proprietary “breathable” material which is designed to keep your baby cool and comfortable while they sleep. The mattress core is made from a combination of plant-based foam, rubber and other supportive materials that are hypoallergenic and free from any harsh chemicals or toxins. Newton mattresses also feature an easy-to-clean surface which is water repellent and they feature a removable waterproof liner that can be washed in the machine.
Both Naturepedic and Newton crib mattresses offer a variety of features that are designed to keep your baby comfortable while they sleep, but ultimately it comes down to personal preference and price point. The Naturepedic mattresses tend to have higher price tags due to their organic materials, whereas the Newton mattresses are more affordable and still provide a comfortable sleep surface. Ultimately, it is important to consider the features of both crib mattresses before deciding which one is best for your little one.
