Crib Sets - Everything You Need For Your Newborn to Sleep Soundly From Day One

The best crib sets come with everything you need for your newborn to rest comfortably from day one. They're pre-shrunk, machine washable and designed to fit tightly around the mattress without bunching - a major safety hazard for babies.

One parent testigator said that she used it through two babies and passed it on to a friend, making it a smart purchase. Its sleek design makes it a perfect choice for minimalist nurseries.

Bedding

There are many options when it comes to bedding for your crib. But picking the right one is more than choosing a cute design to be in line with your preferences. You need to find one that is firmly fitted and doesn't clump into places that could pose a danger of suffocation for your baby. And it has to be soft to the touch and durable enough to withstand months of blowouts from diapers and spit-up without wearing out too quickly.

One of our favorites is this Avocado set, which contains two sheets that are made from 100% organic cotton that is certified by GOTS and MADE SAFE-certified. This is an independent third-party certification that ensures Avocado's fabrics meet strict standards for safety and quality. The sheets are pre-shrunk to guarantee that they won't shrink or stretch after washing. They also fit a standard crib (27 1 4 inches wide by 51 5/8 inches long). They're also machine-washable for the inevitable mess your bundle of joy is sure to create.

A crib mattress pad is a ideal option for babies and toddlers. It provides an additional layer of comfort and shields the mattress from accidents and staining.

Some of our top cribs are this Dream On Me Ashton 5-in-1 crib that is sleigh-style, made from solid wood and features one of the highest mattress heights (for parents who are concerned about reaching down to a low mattress). We love that it's also Greenguard Gold certified, meaning it complies with stringent environmental standards for reduced off-gassing.

Mattress

Firmness and size are important when it comes to a crib mattress. The AAP recommends a firm mattress that fits comfortably and does not leave an indentation on the surface when you lay the sheet over it. The mattress should also be of the right size for the crib, and it should stay in place even after your child gets out of it.

You'll also want to check whether the mattress is made up of substances that could harm your child. Find mattresses that are odorless and free of volatile organic compounds (VOCs)--which frequently emit a noxious chemical smell. CertiPUR US certification is a positive sign. It confirms that the foam used in the mattress is free of ozone depleters as well as other harmful chemicals.

Other aspects to consider are the mattress's weight and whether or not it's waterproof. You'll likely be dealing with changes to sheets at night, so an easily wipeable or waterproof surface will help with cleaning. The Naturepedic Organic Cotton Classic 150 Seamless 2Stage is the most heavy product we've tested, weighing at 20 pounds. This may be a problem for some parents.

A mattress that has two sides could have an infant side that is firm and a soft side for toddlers. Pediatricians advise flipping the mattress of your child when they reach the height of normal growth. This is typically at around 12 months.

We measured the mattresses and then observed how they could be folded easily to cover the sides of the crib with sheets. We also put a weight of 8 pounds which was slightly heavier than the weight of a newborn baby, on each mattress to observe how it responded. The best ones did not sink in, which means that they offer enough support to protect your child from falling out of bed while they sleep or drowning. Some of the mattresses we tested had a removable cover that can be machine-washed and is water-proof. This makes cleaning and maintaining them even simpler.

Crib Rails

A crib can't be complete without the proper set of fixed rails. Some furniture companies for babies provide baby rails in the crib. Others offer them separately.

They should be strong enough to support your child's weight but not be too thin. They should also to secure themselves so that they can't be removed from your child.

The crib rails you choose should not only be sturdy, they should also fit comfortably within the crib frame. This will prevent the mattress from becoming fragile, which could cause harm to your baby. Be sure to measure the width of the crib frame before purchasing the crib rail. There are some slight differences in the sizes of cribs. The area should not be larger than three fingers.

Sweetpea Baby has a convertible crib toddler guard rail that works with most standard cribs. It's easy to install and meets the CPSC safety standards.

Crib Hardware

Certain crib design elements are only aesthetic and are subject to personal preference, however other features -- such as the style of the slats that are on the crib or whether it converts into a toddler bed -can have a major impact on the comfort of the crib and its longevity. The most durable cribs are made of solid wood, meet various safety standards and are easily configured to different mattress heights. Certain cribs have special features that make them more efficient such as the Quick Zip Crib Sheet, which allows you to change the sheets without removing the entire mattress from the crib.

Generally speaking, you should avoid cribs that have decorative cut-outs or other embellishments that could snag on clothes or create a choking risk for infants. Examine the crib's hardware for loose bolts and other items that could get caught on clothing or other objects.

The best crib sets include simple instructions that are easy to follow and all the necessary parts including hardware. Most modern cribs take a half-hour or less to put together and a majority come with all the tools you'll need.

Look into a convertible crib that can be converted into a toddler cot bed sales, daybed or a full-size mattress. This is a good option for families who plan to use the crib for many years or have a limited space. Be aware that certain crib conversion kits require additional purchases to complete the process.

Crib hardware can be a bit tricky to understand, but it's essential to ensure security and stability. The majority of cribs have an arrangement of rectangular blocks as well as wedges (also called "shims"), and large chocks called step chocks, all designed to snug up contact points between the crib and its support surface.

Some shims or chocks can be made from soft woods that crack slowly. This could trigger an audible warning when they fail. However, woods that are more rigid can break more rapidly and with greater force. The shims and chocks are made of plastic and can also be purchased. They are easier to install since they do not require drilling into the surface.
