We found a the sister mattress to this one in a store. It had a blue cover and no vent holes...usually for hospitals. We happened to check on-line and found this one. I called the manufacturer and they said that the white covered one was the SAME mattress, but intended for residential (and a little cheaper, but only due to the cover). The cover gets washed almost daily in a hospital and has to be able to hold up to that.

Ok, why this one over other foams? We liked the density, weight, price and vent holes.

Density--It has a high density (very firm) side for newborns and a lower density (little more give...softer) for toddlers. SIDS is a BIG concern these days and a BIG thing we parents can do is put newborns on a FIRM mattress.

Weight--Changing sheets in a crib is necessary to remove the mattress to do so. This is very lightweight and easy to remove. The snug fit in the crib is very necessary so your little one doesn't get a leg/arm caught down beside the mattress.

Price--Compared to an interspring or other foam mattresses, Amazon had the best price on these mattresses. There are only a few select stores that sell them. Also, I called the manufacturer. It is a small Grandfather/father/son business. This is ALL they do and they do it well and VERY resonably priced. You can't get a mattress from them for an adult...they specialize in babys and kids.

Vent Holes--Since I mentioned it I'll expand a bit. Vent holes allow the mattress to breathe (like when they jump on it). Our daughter (almost 2) is starting to jump in the crib when she wakes up and sees us. It's cute and I'm really glad we have those vents.

We are VERY pleased with this mattress AND with Amazon's price for it. I couldn't get it from the manufacturer, BUT I did talk with one of the sons when I called them! This is a VERY good sign of a VERY good business and a quality product.

VERY VERY Happy parents...VERY happy daughter...VERY happy household.

Sorry this was so long, hopefully it was helpful.

My wife shopped around for weeks at retail stores trying to find the best mattress for our son that is set to arrive at the end of March. She reviewed all the websites and found that the Colgate mattress offers the best of all worlds having two different sides for firmness that are best for baby... along with having the highest ratings from all of the consumer and safety organazations.

We finally decided on the Colgate Classica III Dual-Zone due to the reviews and quality that Colgate is known for. We got the mattress and found that it is THE BEST. Quality is excellent and is made in the USA and customer service is second to none.

Fit and finish are superb. Excellent product, would highly recommend to anyone! Thanks.

This mattress is lightweight, durable, and waterproof. My daughter sleeps 12 plus hours a night on this mattress, and after nearly 2 years of use it still looks brand new! I will be buying another one for my next child.

We just received this mattress yesterday, and wanted to have it ready to go into the crib straight away. The firmness and the padding were exactly as described here, which was perfect. What wasn't perfect was the binding around the edges. On 2 sides, the binding was poorly sewn, causing the cloth to come apart, threads to come loose, and frayed edges.

We're exchanging this for another of the same mattress, which will hopefully be better. It IS a good mattress, but the company needs to pay attention to its quality control. This can't be an issue anymore for an American manufacturer of any product these days.

I was excited when I put the mattress in my crib (which takes a standard sized mattress) and had to push on it a little to get it down all the way- NO SPACES in the sides or corners! It is also vented in the sides which gave me more peace of mind when thinking of how hot foam can get and the issues some foam mattresses can have with bacteria and such- that shouldn't be a problem with this mattress as it has a waterproof cover and is vented. The mattress is also extremely light, I handled it in the box easily at 6 months pregnant. I bought it because it was the top baby bargains recommendation, and am extremely glad I spent the extra money on a great mattress!

yes, crib mattresses are supposed to be firm, but even the soft side of this one is still quite firm if you ask me, never even used the infant side. we added a mattress pad which makes it a little better, but not much. other than that, happy with it. did not have any defects as mentioned in a couple of other reviews. lightweight which makes changing the sheets very easy.

I wanted to write a review of this terrific baby mattress. It has wonderful support due to its foam core. It also features separate levels of firmness depending on which side the baby is sleeping on. Our Mackenzie continues to get wonderful nights of sleep on this Mattress. Colgate added a cover that is both non-allergenic and waterproof. This prevents a lot clean-ups that were necessary on previous baby mattresses we have owned. I would like to thank Colgate for manufacturing a great product. I would definately recommend this mattress to anyone who is in the market for a new baby mattress. Thanks-Mike M

Pros:
No more sleepless nights

Cons:
They don't make adult mattresses!!!

We have used this mattress since our daughter was born and she is now 16 months old! We love that it has two sides...a firmer side for the newborn / infant period and a softer side for the toddler period. The mattress is made with quality materials and excellent construction. Incredible customer service too!! When we have another baby, we will definitely be buying another Colgate mattress!!

OMG...Love this mattress...It's a great quality mattress. I am a mother who feels that my children need good mattresses 2 for a good peaceful nights sleep. It is a bit pricey for a toddlers mattress but there is nothing like watching ur baby sleep soundly on it.
I have spent a lot of time researching a good mattress for my 2 1/2 yr old who just transitioned into her toddler bed. Finally, after 2 mattress changes from walmart.com; i am highly satisfied with my purchase and my daughter sleeps soundly on it. I tried it out 2 and it feels just great:-)The mattress can be wiped clean and the best part is that it's vinyl cover is NOT NOISY AT ALL compared to the rest. My daughter would just keep kicking and making noise all through the night on the other 2 that i tried and it would keep waking her up all night long and also keeping me awake as her bed is right next to ours.

Also, the mattress came well packaged in a cardboard box (walmart.com just sent out my mattress in the plastic slip cover which looked so filthy by the time it made it to my front door:-
Looked like our mattress was just manufactured like a month before my purchase; which makes me feel great that i did not buy an old mattress which was sitting in some warehouse somewhere:-):-):-)

GREAT MATTRESS...GO AHEAD AND HAVE CONFIDENCE IN COLGATE AND MAKE YOUR PURCHASE; U WON'T REGRET IT!!!!!

Our 10 month son has been sleeping on this mattress since he was born and has had no problems sleeping. We like it because it is light and easy to pick up to change the sheets. We have not flipped to the softer side so can't comment but our son really seems to like sleeping on the firm side of the mattress.
