The Newton Crib Mattress markets itself as top of the line, ultra-breathable that’ll help your baby sleep better. With its hefty price tag you really ask yourself, what is so special about this mattress? The true answer is nothing.
While I’m sure it’s extremely comfortable for my 20 month old, the same kid who will happily fall asleep on a towel in the sand, in his baby brother’s lounger, or in his car seat. It doesn’t offer anything that a traditional mattress doesn’t. It is dual sided,…

Does this work with a Graco crib?

Do you need to buy extra mattress covers?
Best Answer: This mattress is 100% washable and does not need an extra mattress pad or cover. However, if you want to have an extra pad or cover you can purchase them directly from Newton's website.
I'm confused. When using the toddler side, if there is leakage, can it be wiped down, or does the cover need to be removed and washed?
Best Answer: The toddler side protects the mattress from leaks and moisture, but you will want to wash the cover should it be soiled.
How is the mattress shipped? will the item be vacuumed sealed and rolled, can you provide me with the shipped parcels size?
Best Answer: This mattress does not come rolled and it's shipping size is 53"L x 29"W x 7" H
Is the only difference between this mattress and the Newton Baby Breathable 2-stage Crib Mattress for $299 the fact that this one comes with a waterproof mattress cover?
Best Answer: Yes, the price difference accounts for the waterproof cover.
Does 2-stage means you can use on side (firmer) for newborn and the other side (softer) for toddlers?
Best Answer: This mattress is a 2 Stage mattress with a side for infant use and a side for toddlers.
What sheet do we use with the mattress so it’s still breathable ?
Can this be used with the Nestig from newborn? Or is it larger for age range?

Travel Bed (and regular crib mattress)
I LOVE how the mat feels. I love that it is spacious, but the configurations make it very hard to get my sleeping baby down into the bed, still asleep. The zipper feature is nice, but is too loud and wakes my baby. We bought it to travel, but am worried it won’t work. Also, the sheet cover is a little annoying since it stays on through Velcro. That makes it a little easy to pop up, or not be as tight as it should be.
We also bought a crib mattress from Newton and LOVE it! That I would definitely give 5 stars. I wish Newton made adult mattresses. I would buy one for myself.

The box arrived with some dents, but the mattress is quite stiff and hard. Otherwise, it looks nice and well-stitched on the cover.
