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.

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.

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!!!
Best Mattress for Baby

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.

I originally went to the store to purchase the Classica I after reading several great reviews and also seeing that it received the highest marks for quality and value from "Baby Bargains". Knowing that many sheets will be changed in the middle of the night, went for this foam one because it is very lightweight. For an extra $10, we upgraded to the III version because it is dual-sided: firm side for baby and softer side for when we convert the crib into a toddler bed. Babies absolutely need a firm mattress to reduce risk of SIDS. However, there is no reason why a toddler would need a mattress that firm. Therefore, we deem this mattress to be a GREAT VALUE because we will not have to go out and purchase a separate one for the toddler years. GREAT BUY! Found much cheaper at a local baby store - $139!
Great matress

Bought matress to avoid SIDS and to avoid buying two matresses. Baby sleeps well in it and can move around in it well. Probably could just have bought the matress for todlers bc both sides are really hard. Fits in crib great and easy to change sheets!
