The mattress matters! What to look for in a crib mattress

Nov 27, 2019 | Crib, Mattresses and Bedding, Key Sleep Tips

We talk a lot about room environment – Dark, quiet, peaceful, no distractions. But what about what baby sleeps ON? Baby’s mattress can go a long way towards healthy rest!

Recently, I was thrilled to visit Obasan and get a full tour of their incredible inventory, including (most importantly!) their amazing crib mattresses. The mattresses are handmade in Ottawa (with retailers across North America!) and made with quality organic materials and completely chemical-free. They are breathable and moisture-wicking, helping to regulate baby’s temperature throughout the night. (Cooler is better for sleep!)

I was so thrilled to be introduced to this brand that I’ve now partnered up with Obasan and they are offering you guys an Organic Wool Moisture Pad Protector (worth more than $100!!) FREE with any purchase of an Obasan crib mattress! Purchase on their website and enter the code HAPPYSLEEP at checkout!
