This mattress has a significantly lower suffocation risk than other breathable and organic mattresses on the market.

people who’ve bought the mattress seem to love it, as shown by excellent customer reviews
The 3D structure creates a ton of space for air to hang out. It’s what makes the Newton crib mattress what it is. According to Newton, you can lie face down on this mattress and still breathe.

What reviewers didn't like

The material of cover may not be comfortable to sleep on without a sheet. The mattress has a chemical-like smell when it is new
At $300, the Newton Baby Mattress might be a little pricey for some parents.
My major complaint for the Newton is its price. The Basic goes for $250, the Original goes for $300, and the Waterproof goes for $350, which means this bed just isn’t going to be in everyone’s budget.
eliminated from our top selection because they were difficult to clean
There’s no getting around the fact that the Newton Wovenaire® crib mattress is plastic.
