Frugal Mom: Crib Mattress

Dear Friends and Family,

Okay. So, if you need a crib, it follows, you need a mattress. Lots of options here as well. We opted to go for value over dirt cheap in this category for no good reason other than we splurged on our mattress and love it and figured P deserved no less.

We opted for the Naturepedic No Compromise Organic Cotton Ultra Organic Baby Crib Mattress with

• dual firmness
• seamless design
• premium organic waterproof cover
• organic cotton filling
• orthopedic innerspring
• starts at $359

Our math said if she used it for 3 years, it would be about $0.33 per night which was how we justified it. Also, for the first three months, all they do is sleep and eat so we wanted to go organic since you're only a newborn once in your life.


All in, with the crib, we were out $500, and that, is still frugal.


Cheers!
