FAQ

Do I need to add anything to my Newton mattress?

Your Newton mattress consists of the Wovenaire® core material covered by a viscose encasement and the dual-layer removable outer cover with waterproof underlining on the toddler side. While your Newton mattress is the perfect sleep surface for your baby, you may consider adding some other items to create the ultimate sleep environment (and have backups in the linen closet).

  • Chances are you'll want to purchase an Extra Cover. Fully removable, machine washable and interchangeable, our Extra Covers are lifesavers for parents who prefer to have one ready when late-night accidents occur.
  • Our Waterproof Mattress Pad is a safe, breathable option to traditional waterproof pads. It's perfect for adding to your Newton once your little one can roll in both directions on their own (often sooner than you might think)! It's easily the best item to have in your diaper bag as well — for caregivers or when traveling — as it can add a layer of breathability to any traditional sleeping surface.
  • Add sheets to your Newton from day one with our perfect-fit Organic Cotton Muslin sheets. They're as breathable as our mattress, gentle to the touch, and get softer with more washes!

Can my baby breathe through this mattress?

Newton crib mattresses were tested for air permeability, suffocation risk, and Co2 rebreathing factors in a third-party CPSC-accredited laboratory. During these tests, Newton crib mattresses showed 97% more airflow than the leading organic crib mattress, reducing the risk of suffocation.

How is the waterproof mattress still breathable with a waterproof lining?

Our approach to waterproofing is unique. We do not place the waterproof liner on top of the mattress but quilt it into the bottom layer of the cover under 2 layers of highly breathable spacer material. This allows for a channel of air between your baby and the waterproof layer. 

While the waterproof side is still breathable, we want infants to have the most breathable, completely unhindered airflow sleeping environment possible for the first year. This is why we recommend waiting until year one, or when your baby can roll easily in both directions on their own, to use the waterproof side.

While we understand Waterproofing seems most desirable to help with messes, the infant side of the cover is water-resistant. Typically, in the first year of life, diaper leaks and accidents are easily managed by washing the cover and, most of the time, not even rinsing the core.

Top 3 Waterproof Crib Mattress Questions

Toddler beds are the same size as a standard crib mattress. This allows for 2-Stage mattresses to grow with your little one all the way through toddler years.

One side of the Waterproof Crib Mattress offers a TPU lining to protect against those larger accidents during toddler years. Use this side when transitioning your little one into a toddler bed.

The toddler side will allow for easy clean up during those late night accidents. It is a great way to give your little one the breathability and comfort they love from the Newton, with the added ease for you during those challenging years of bed wetting accidents.
