The trials

Here's something worth thinking about, whichever brand you choose: a crib mattress trial can be shorter in practice than it looks. If you buy before the birth, the nights may run out before your baby has slept on the mattress much at all. For any brand, it's worth checking the trial and return terms at checkout before you buy.

Naturepedic states a 100 night trial with a full refund on each crib product page we checked: the Classic, the Breathable 2-Stage and the Breathable Ultra 2-Stage. Its returns page adds that you should sleep on the mattress for at least 30 nights first, and its crib product pages list free shipping and free returns. The returns page excludes its Halcyon line and bassinet pads, neither of which is a crib mattress.

Avocado states a 30 night trial on both crib mattresses, starting when you receive it and limited to one per household. Shipping, delivery and setup fees are not refunded. Avocado's sleep trial page says products must be in a condition suitable for donation, with the law tag attached, and lists a $99 return fee per mattress.

Read carefully

The warranties

Naturepedic states a lifetime limited warranty on its crib mattresses, on each product page and on its warranty page. The full coverage terms are in a separate crib mattress warranty document linked from that page.

Avocado states a 25 year limited warranty on its Organic Crib Mattress and a 10 year limited warranty on its Eco Organic Crib Mattress.

A warranty covers defects as its document defines them. It's a contract, not a promise about how long a mattress will be used, so it's worth reading the document for the model you buy.

Where each set of terms applies

Our pick

Naturepedic Classic Organic Cotton Crib Mattress, the longest terms at the lowest price

  • 100 night trial
  • Lifetime limited warranty
  • Single stage or 2 stage
  • Who it is forParents who want time to change their mind and the longest warranty, at the lowest price shown.
  • Who it is not forAnyone set on organic latex. The Classic's certified organic material is its cotton.

The Classic comes in three models: the MC24, a lightweight single stage mattress at 10 lbs; the MC34, a lightweight 2 stage at 11 lbs; and the MC32, a 2 stage with a steel innerspring at 19 lbs. On the 2 stage models the firmer side is for infants and the slightly less firm toddler side is typically used from about one year. Naturepedic lists GOTS certified organic cotton fabric and fill, a waterproof surface of polyethylene made from sugarcane, and either food grade polyethylene foam (lightweight) or steel coils (innerspring), with PLA layers.

The trial is 100 nights with a full refund, and the warranty is lifetime limited. The Breathable and Breathable Ultra 2-Stage models carry the same terms at $295.20 and $367.20 as shown. If it were my money and I wanted time to decide, I'd look here first.
