A crib mattress is designed to support infants and toddlers during their early sleep stages. A standard crib mattress typically measures 27.5 inches wide by 52 inches long (approximately 70 x 132 cm), with a recommended thickness of up to 6 inches. It provides a firm, breathable, and safe surface for newborns and young children. This size is intended to fit securely into most full-size cribs sold in Canada. Options include waterproof covers and double-sided models that adapt as your child grows, making them a practical and essential part of any nursery.

What Makes a Quality Crib Mattress?

Choosing the right crib mattress involves more than just the right size. Key features include firmness, breathability, and safety certifications. A good baby mattress supports healthy spinal alignment and reduces the risk of suffocation. Many crib mattresses today come with dual firmness, offering one side for infants and another for toddlers.

Designed for Growing Babies and Toddlers

Many baby crib mattresses now use hypoallergenic covers and breathable core materials to promote airflow. These choices support a cleaner sleep environment and can help reduce irritation for babies with sensitive skin or allergies.
