Pros: it's so lightweight!
Cons: I hate the cover material

We bought the Colgate Classica foam crib mattress based on the reviews in the Baby Bargains 5th Edition. I had been looking for the cheaper version at Target, but never saw one, so when D-day approached, I spent the $90 and had my mattress. DS slept on it from the day he came home from the hospital, and he has always been a great sleeper. I don't know if it's because of the mattress, but who knows?

Things I really love: 1. It's really lightweight - I can lift it over my head, it's that light, and changing the sheets is no problem. 2. It's foam, and I think this causes it warms up to body heat better than a spring mattress would. I recently got a foam mattress topper, and it's tons warmer than just the spring mattress I had before. 3. It's really firm, but has some give - DS flops around on it, which he wouldn't do it was really hard.

This I don't really like: Just the cover material. It's embossed vinyl, and I would've liked for it to be fabric of some kind. I don't know anyone who didn't use a waterproof mattress pad on their crib mattress, so why bother with the vinyl when it could've been something breathable and warm, as opposed to cold and clammy?

We will be using this crib mattress for any children we have in the future - it has held up for two years, and I'm glad we have it and not something else.
