Babyletto is best known for modern nursery furniture, but its crib mattresses are worth a look if you want a simple, well-rounded setup. In the standard crib size, the models we reviewed generally land around $249–$359, with a mini-crib option priced in the same general range.
In this guide, we focus on four mattresses you can buy through Babyletto: the Pure Core Crib Mattress w/ Hybrid Quilted Waterproof Cover, the Newton 2-Stage Baby Crib Mattress, and two babyletto x Avocado models (standard crib and mini crib). They represent three different approaches—lightweight and easy to handle, fully washable and breathable, and premium organic materials.

Testing Team Takeaways
These four mattresses fall into three clear camps. Pure Core is the simplest option: a light, dual-sided mattress with a removable quilted waterproof cover. Newton is the “wash everything” pick, with a breathable core you can rinse. The babyletto x Avocado models are the premium route, built around organic textiles and a sturdier, hybrid-style support system.
If you expect frequent sheet changes, weight matters more than you’d think. The Pure Core was the easiest to lift in and out of the crib. Both babyletto x Avocado mattresses felt more substantial but were noticeably heavier, which makes quick swaps more work.
For airflow and temperature, Newton stood out the most. Both Avocado models also felt cooler than a typical waterproof-surface crib mattress, while Pure Core landed closer to the “standard crib mattress” feel—comfortable, but not as airy as the open-core design.
How We Tested the Babyletto Mattress
We evaluated each mattress using the same crib-mattress criteria we use across brands:
- Support and firmness: We checked for a firm, even infant side and a noticeably different (but still supportive) toddler side.
- Breathability and temperature: We compared how warm the surface felt after extended contact and how quickly heat seemed to build up.
- Motion transfer: We pressed and shifted weight to see how much movement travels across the surface.
- Edge support and fit: We looked for a snug fit and firm edges that help the mattress keep its shape at the perimeter.
- Cleaning and maintenance: We evaluated how easy it is to wipe down the cover, remove and wash it, and (where applicable) clean the core.
Babyletto Mattress: Our Testing Experience
Pure Core Crib Mattress w/ Hybrid Quilted Waterproof Cover (2-Stage)
The Pure Core Crib Mattress w/ Hybrid Quilted Waterproof Cover (2-Stage) is the most straightforward option in this group. It uses a polyester core paired with a removable quilted cover that has a food-grade polyethylene waterproof backing. At 11 lbs, it was the easiest mattress here to lift out of a crib for quick sheet changes.
In our hands-on checks, the infant side felt reliably firm and flat, while the toddler side had a slightly more forgiving feel without losing shape. The quilted surface also felt less plasticky than many waterproof crib covers, so it came across more comfortable while still being simple to wipe down.
Our Testing Experience
What we liked
- The low weight makes crib-sheet changes noticeably easier.
- The quilted waterproof cover wipes clean without feeling overly slick.
- The infant and toddler sides feel distinct, which helps you keep the “flip” stage clear.
- Square corners sat flush in our standard-crib fit check.
Who it is best for
- Families who want a simple, dual-stage crib mattress at the lower end of this lineup’s price range.
- Anyone who expects lots of wipe-down cleanups and prefers a removable cover.
Where it falls short
- Airflow is decent but doesn’t feel as open as the Newton design.
- Only the cover is washable; the core itself isn’t meant to be rinsed.
- The build feels simpler than the heavier babyletto x Avocado models.

Newton 2-Stage Baby Crib Mattress
The Newton 2-Stage Baby Crib Mattress is the “wash everything” option. Its Wovenaire polymer core is built to be rinsed, so you can clean more than just the outer cover—useful if you want a truly scrub-downable crib setup.
In our tests, Newton also had the most noticeable airflow. Heat didn’t linger on the surface the same way it did on more traditional waterproof-cover designs, which made it the coolest-feeling mattress in this group.
Our Testing Experience

- Clear two-sided firmness for infant vs toddler use.
- Standard size fit was snug with minimal gaps at the corners.
Who it is best for
- Families who want the most washable option for frequent deep cleans.
- Hot sleepers or warm nurseries where airflow matters.
Where it falls short
- More cumbersome to lift than the Pure Core.
- Costs more than the Pure Core.
- Warranty and trial terms aren’t always easy to spot on every listing.

babyletto x Avocado Dual-stage, Organic & Non-Toxic Crib Mattress
The babyletto x Avocado Dual-stage, Organic & Non-Toxic Crib Mattress is the premium, organic-material option in the standard crib size. It combines a GOTS-certified cotton cover with wool batting, and a sturdier core built from coils and coconut fiber bonded with organic latex.
During our testing, it felt the most substantial under hand and held its shape well. It also breathed better than a typical waterproof-surface crib mattress, but because it’s heavier, it’s not as convenient for quick in-and-out handling as the Pure Core.
Our Testing Experience
What we liked
- Most substantial feel in hand, with steady support on the infant side.
- Breathability was solid for a more layered, hybrid-style build.
- Infant vs toddler sides are easy to distinguish.
- Standard-crib fit was snug and secure.
Who it is best for
- Families prioritizing premium organic materials and a hybrid-style feel.
- Babies who need firm support but tend to run warm.
Where it falls short
- Heavier to lift during sheet changes.
- Priced above Pure Core and Newton.
- Warranty and trial details aren’t always clearly listed in the product view.

babyletto x Avocado Organic Mini Crib Mattress
The babyletto x Avocado Organic Mini Crib Mattress brings the same organic-material concept to a smaller footprint. It uses the same GOTS-certified cotton cover and wool batting, with a supportive core made from coils and coconut fiber bound with organic latex.
In our checks, it delivered sturdy support and a premium feel in a mini-crib size. Like the standard Avocado model, it’s heavier than Pure Core, and cleanup is mostly about removing and cleaning the cover rather than washing the entire mattress.
Our Testing Experience
What we liked
- Supportive feel and solid airflow for a mini-crib mattress.
- Premium organic materials and a sturdy build.
- Dual-stage sides are clearly marked.

- Mini-crib setups that want a premium mattress with organic materials.
- Parents who care about materials and still want a dual-stage design.

How to Choose a Babyletto Mattress
Start by matching the mattress to your crib size. The Pure Core, Newton, and the standard babyletto x Avocado model are designed for full-size cribs, while the babyletto x Avocado Organic Mini Crib Mattress is made for mini cribs.
Next, decide what matters most day-to-day. If you want the easiest deep clean, Newton is the only option here where you can rinse the core. If you mainly want something light and easy to lift, the Pure Core is the simplest to handle.
If you’re shopping for organic materials and don’t mind a heavier build, both babyletto x Avocado mattresses deliver a premium feel with a dual-stage design. Choose the standard version for a full-size crib, or the mini version for smaller nurseries.
Babyletto Mattress Vs. Alternatives
Why choose these models
- There’s a clear range—from a lighter budget option to premium organic builds.
- Each mattress has a dual-stage design, so you can flip it as your baby grows.
- Cleaning is straightforward across the board, with Newton offering the deepest clean potential.
Alternatives to consider
- Naturepedic Organic Breathable Crib Mattress (often recommended for parents prioritizing organic materials)
- Sealy Soybean Foam-Core 2-Stage Crib Mattress (a lower-cost option widely available online)
- Moonlight Slumber Little Dreamer (popular for long-term durability in a dual-sided format)
If you want the convenience of shopping through Babyletto while still having meaningful differences in materials and cleanability, these four mattresses cover most needs—from simple and light to premium and washable.
FAQs
Are Babyletto crib mattresses Greenguard Gold certified?
Yes. The models we reviewed are Greenguard Gold certified, including Pure Core, the babyletto x Avocado options, and the Newton 2-Stage model.
What is the difference between Pure Core and Avocado models?
Pure Core focuses on simplicity and lighter weight, with a polyester core and a removable waterproof cover. The babyletto x Avocado models use organic materials and a hybrid-style build with coils and coconut fiber, which gives them a more premium feel but also makes them heavier.
