The construction of a
mattress is essential to the safety and longevity of the mattress. While
some differences in mattresses are obvious by sight and touch, the
following 8-point guide will help you make sure that you don’t miss any
important features:
InnerspringCoils- Produce firmness and support.
Laminatecovers- Wipe clean to eliminate stains and odors.
Anti-bacterial treatment- Staph-gard treatment on outer surface, which prevents bacteria, mold, ect., to grow on the surface.
2 sided mattress-
Infant side and toddler side. In convertible cribs, when you change
your crib to the toddler bed, flip the mattress to the toddler side for
better comfort and support of your heavier child.

Steel bars- Run the length of the mattress to evenly distribute your child’s weight.
Square corners- Keeps the crib sheet safely in place to reduce chances of suffocation.
