By Micah S. Mclellan
At first, I was glad to finally have found an "eco-friendlier" mattress that would fit our mini crib.The first time my daughter slept in the crib, I noticed that her head had a chemical smell when I picked her up. There was an organic cotton mattress pad and sheet between her and the mattress and whenever she's slept on the mattress, she smells like plastic.So, I checked the actual mattress tag. Right on the tag I read that the mattress contains 100% polyurethane. Polyurethane is essentially like solidified gasoline - flammable and gives off toxic gas. To keep the mattress flame retardant, polyurethane mattresses have to be treated with other chemicals.Colgate can call the mattress whatever it likes and make it out of whatever it likes, but it should list what the mattress is really made out of. When I emailed Colgate, they said the contents of the mattress is legally supposed to be listed. At this time, amazon does not list that the mattress is 100% polyurethane.Maybe the way the mattress is made is better for the environment, but it is certainly not better for babies.

By Maximka
We bought the Ecru version of this mattress for the Davinci Alpha mini crib after returning the MDB Crescent mattress that we were very disappointed in. We are very happy with this product, it fits the crib very well, it is light (making sheet changes easier), it is firm (but not uncomfortably so) and it is easy to get bedding for (we bought great sheets for it at b4y b4y b@by).Regarding the chemical smell mentioned in some of the reviews, ours didn't have any. I am not sure, but I think that problem is specific to the white mattress not the ecru. It is strange that Amazon grouped them together into one product page as they are entirely different mattresses, with the ecru ecopad being much more environmentally friendly than the white alternative.

By Melorods
I was happy to find this option online. My daughter inherited a mini crib from my family but the mattress that came with it is too thin (1 inch). The Colgate Mattress fit the crib like a glove and has enough patting for my newborn. I also bought the waterproof quilted mattress porta-crib mattress pad for extra support. Its nice and compact for those parents that want practicality. This is my third child, so necessities are what I'm investing in, they grow out of things so quickly!
