Sealy Butterfly Breathable Knit Crib and Toddler Bed Mattress, Pattern May Vary

I received the Sealy Butterfly Breathable Knit Crib Mattress to test in exchange for my honest review. The mattress arrived packaged in a surprising small box. The enclosed instructions on how to open and set up the mattress were easy to follow and included illustrations. The mattress did not emit any sort of chemical smell upon set up. It fits well in our standard size crib and there are no major gaps between the mattress and crib sides. The mattress is quite firm and I feel confident that it provides my infant son a safe sleep space. It is made of foam and is relatively lightweight. This makes it easier to maneuver to change the sheets. Another nice feature is the included removable, waterproof cover, which has a zipper and fully encases the mattress. It can be easily taken off to wash, which allows for less worry about leaky diapers, spit-up, spilled bottles, or other liquids ruining the actual mattress. I will say that I have not had the opportunity to test the effectiveness of the waterproof cover and I chose to put a separate waterproof cover on for additional protection. Neither the cover nor the mattress itself has a plastic feel or crunchy sound when the child moves around. My 6-month-old son seems to find the mattress comfortable. The only potential con I can think of with this mattress is that it is quite firm on both sides instead of having a softer “toddler” side, which some other crib mattresses offer. All in all though, I am pleased with the quality of this mattress and would likely recommend it to others.
