The newton twin mattress is great, we have that for ours and it was really useful during potty training as well. Plus, it is very safe for face planters!
What did you end up getting after going through the rabbit hole of options. currently we are thinking the tiptoe bunk bed from babyletto and the newton twin mattresses since we lived their crib mattress. We are still clueless on a dresser and before we can get the rest we need to find the dresser to so it can all match well.
You can check out the newton twin mattress, it is greenguard certified and hypoallergenic, I have a step daughter with extreme sensitive skin and she doesn't get any rashes or anything from this mattress.
I’ve definitely gone down this rabbit hole too and had to take a step back from crunchy comments for my own sanity. We’ve used newton mattresses with more than one kid and haven’t had any issues, and the peace of mind around firmness and breathability mattered more to me than trying to find the “perfect” non-toxic option. At some point everything feels like a tradeoff, and I had to remind myself to trust the choice I already felt good about instead of letting the internet scare me.
You can read up about the newton twin mattress, we have that for our oldest and it keeps up well. You can also wash it after accidents and it is easy to do. Plus, it is under 500. You also want to keep an eye on their site because we got it when there was a special happening.
We have been really happy with our newton too!! It's pretty firm and has held up really well over time, no sagging at all.
We actually had birch first but ended up switching to a newton twin mattress. Honestly, the fact that you can fully wash it is what won me over. It’s not the typical organic latex style since it has that woven core, but it’s greenguard gold and we felt good about it. We're currently potty training our toddler and it's been such a relief being able to hose down our mattress when our kid had an accident.
Newton all the way honestly mainly because it's washable.. I do not want to worry about deep cleaning a mattress if i need to.
We got the newton off of fb marketplace for $80 (hardly used, clean home!) and I love it- we washed it before using (super easy to clean)! She’s just started rolling and is now sleeping on her front, I don’t have any anxieties about it with this mattress!
Not sure if this is how the mattress is but we have the waterproof mattress pad from them and the top is cushy kind of spongey. So my guess is that is what creates a channel of air before the waterproof layer. If you just use a few cotton sheets over a waterproof layer then I don't think that provides the same airy channel.
Yea, I'm not sure since I don't have a purple mattress and can't compare. But I don't think the spacer material for the newton is cotton. My guess is that the spacer material doesn't compress as much as cotton under weight meaning more air is available when you lay on it.
Oh haha, very funny since Purple is an actual mattress brand too. But I do have normal mattress protectors and they are just a waterproof material with cotton sheet on top, but still thin like any sheet. The Newton one is not like that, the top pad is thicker with whatever spacer material they have. It's actually quite hefty and rigid. I have to wash it by itself in the washing machine because of that lol.
I did the same and found one for a great deal on Good Buy Gear!
It's an open box site, like Rebel - I prefer buying the open box/unused items, but they also sell used items. The box it was shipped in was a little beat up, but the item was perfectly wrapped and brand new!
