In this review, we are looking at the Sealy Baby Firm Rest Crib Mattress, which is designed to promote restful slumber.
A baby can sleep for up to nineteen hours a day, so it’s important that along with being safe and comfy, their mattress is firm. Not rock hard, but firm enough to be supportive and, just as importantly, reduce the risk of SIDS. With too soft a mattress, the baby could roll over and end up face down and not be able to turn back over. Sadly, this can result in suffocation.
As is the case with all Sealy baby mattresses, this one is free of toxic chemicals that can create toxic off-gassings. Made in the USA, it is GREENGUARD GOLD Certified, and its components have been air quality tested for every known harmful chemical. Phthalate compliant, it passes federal flammability standards and it does not contain harmful fire retardants.
The mattress passes ASTM crib mattress safety standards, so you can relax knowing it will be the perfect fit for a standard-sized crib, eliminating the possibility of your baby becoming wedged between the side of the crib and the mattress. All of the materials used in its creation are hypoallergenic.

Sealy Baby Firm Rest Crib Mattress Overview
While parents appreciate how safe the Sealy Baby Firm Rest Crib Mattress is, baby’s love that its comfortable. Soft against a baby’s tender 
skin, there’s an airflow pocket located at the lower end that enables air to circulate, keeping the mattress cooler.
The mattress is exceptionally durable, so you should be able to store it to use for future children. Its durability is in part due to a 204 coil count. The coils form an interlocking pattern that enhances the mattress’ comfort and enables it to hold its shape. The coils have been heat-tempered to increase their strength and provide extra support and durability.
Steel anti-sag bars distribute the child’s weight evenly, and rods around the border keep the edges and corners firm.
The Sealy Baby Firm Rest Mattress comes with a waterproof antistatic STAPH-GARD laminate cover that provides anti-bacterial protection. Moisture, mildew and stain-resistant, the cover helps to stop bad odors from developing. To clean it, simply wipe it over with a damp cloth.
