Tempe, AZ -- (SBWire) -- 04/06/2012 --As parents know quite well, preparing for the arrival of a baby is an exciting and joyful time. From choosing a name to painting the nursery in beautiful colors and more, the nine months leading up to the birth is both busy and thrilling.

Deciding which of the many needed items to buy for the baby, however, can cause even seasoned parents to feel confused and overwhelmed. Newborn infants may be small, but they require huge amounts of equipment—from cribs and car seats to swings and diapers.

One necessary item that all babies will use is a crib mattress. Cribs don’t typically come with a mattress, so they need to be purchased separately. In the spirit of giving their customers a wide selection, most stores offer dozens of selections. Knowing which one is best can be difficult for parents to determine.

A website has been getting a lot of attention lately for its comprehensive and helpful crib mattress reviews that are designed to take the mystery out of purchasing this important item.

BestCribMattresses.net features information on the best baby mattresses that are currently on the market. Each of the reviews contains detailed information about the mattress, as well as a photo and five-star rating system. Interested customers who wish to purchase one of the crib mattresses featured on the website may click on a link that will take them directly to Amazon.com.

The website also includes a wealth of helpful information, tips and advice about how to go about selecting the best crib mattress.

“Contrary to public opinion, the best crib mattresses are not those soft comfy mattresses that will sag under the baby’s weight,” an article on the website noted, adding that while it’s understandable that parents want to make their children as comfortable as possible, soft mattresses for a crib that offer no support are not in the baby’s best interest.

“The first thing to understand is that growing bones need support throughout the night so that bones are formed straight and strong. One thing most parents don’t know is that we do our actual 'growing' while we sleep!”

Currently holding the top ranking for best baby mattress is the Sealy Baby Firm Rest Mattress. As the review noted, in addition to fitting any typically-sized crib, its quality and comfort have been shown to out-perform other top rated crib mattresses in its class.
