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,…

Q&A

What sheet do we use with the mattress so it’s still breathable ?
Best Answer: To maintain the mattress's breathability, Newton recommends using their own Breathe-Thru Crib Mattress Pad (optional) and a Newton Breathe-Thru Crib Sheet. These sheets are made from highly breathable fabric designed to allow air to pass through the mattress system.
Can this be used with the Nestig from newborn? Or is it larger for age range?
Best Answer: Yes, the Newton Baby Waterproof Breathable Crib Mattress is compatible with the Nestig full-size cribs. Nestig's full-size cribs are designed to accommodate standard crib mattresses measuring 52 inches in length, 28 inches in width, and up to 6 inches in height. The Newton Baby mattress fits these dimensions, ensuring a snug and safe fit.
However, for Nestig's mini cribs, the mattress dimensions are smaller and non-standard. For example, the Wave mini crib mattress measures 27.5 inches by 22.5 inches by 2 inches, which is smaller than the Newton Baby mattress. Therefore, the Newton Baby mattress would not fit Nestig's mini cribs.
If you put on crib sheets, would it still be breathable?
Best Answer: Yes, a breathable crib mattress should still be considered breathable when using a sheet made from a breathable material, like cotton muslin, as long as the sheet is well-fitted and does not significantly obstruct airflow through the mattress itself.
Does it fit in the Sloan pottery barn acrylic crib?
Best Answer: This standard-size mattress does fit the Sloane 4-in-1 Acrylic Convertible Crib.
Do I need a mattress pad for this mattress since it is already waterproof? Or should I also purchase extra Newton waterproof mattress covers?
Best Answer: This crib mattress is already waterproof, so you don’t need an additional mattress pad for that purpose. Purchasing extra waterproof mattress covers can be helpful for added protection and convenience, especially for quick changes between washings.

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.
