The best crib mattress

Firmness is the entire spec for infant mattresses: it should feel too firm to an adult hand. Dual-sided designs earn their price when the toddler flip side gets used for years.

What to look for

  • Firm infant side that passes the press test

How this guide is built

StorkScout ranks crib mattress across independent Shopify shops by parent ratings and review counts, sourced live from the Shopify Global Catalog. Rankings update as the data changes and are never sold. If sponsored placements ever appear on this page, they will be clearly labeled and kept separate from the rankings. Products on this week's Baby 100 are badged. Read the full methodology.
