Since 1955, Colgate Mattress®, a third generation, family-owned and operated company, has been committed to serving families as an industry leader in safe sleep by constructing the highest quality products and empowering new parents with knowledge. 

Babies spend up to 70% of their time on the crib mattress. That’s why we carefully handcraft our mattresses to ensure little ones are surrounded by the safest materials that our own kids, grandkids and great-grandkids have slept on. 

Made with the finest materials to give parents peace of mind, the CuddleSnooze™ Collection is quickly becoming a bestseller. The collection includes nine thoughtfully handcrafted breathable foam, innerspring and hybrid mattresses. 

 

The CuddleSnooze™ Foam Superior

This post, we’re highlighting the CuddleSnooze™ Foam Superior, a breathable dual-firmness eco-foam crib mattress with temperature regulation and microbial control. The Foam Superior is designed to gently lull baby into a cozy, sound and restful sleep throughout the infant and toddler years. 

  • The infant side features a firm, high-density EcoFoam™ which provides the proper firmness needed for growth and development. This layer is also coated in a layer of KulKote Copper®  which promotes microbial control and temperature regulation. 
  • The less-firm EcoFoam™ provides the  comfort that toddlers prefer. In keeping safety first, the CuddleSnooze™ Foam Superior is handcrafted with an anti-flammability barrier made with chemical-free cloth and a breathable honeycomb mesh spacer to promote airflow.  
  • All this is wrapped in a velvety organic cotton cover with waterproof-backing on top and bottom to ensure the mattress stays dry and non-waterproofed sides for optimal breathability and air circulation. 
  • Like all Colgate mattresses, the CuddleSnooze™ Foam Superior is GREENGUARD ® Gold certified, CertiPUR-US ® certified, CPSIA compliant, and compliant with all federal and state flammability requirements – without the use of fire retardant chemicals. 

 

Your CuddleSnooze™ Foam Superior is proudly handcrafted by Colgate Mattress, the Crib Mattress Specialist ®, dedicated to baby’s safety since 1955. Colgate Mattress uses independent third-party testing labs to ensure health and safety so parents can rest easy knowing they chose the best growth and development environment for their baby. 

 

Benefits of the CuddleSnooze™ Crib Mattress Options

No matter which versatile CuddleSnooze™ crib mattress you choose, each of the options offer some important benefits that you and your baby will love. First and foremost, every Colgate mattress fits all standard cribs. That takes the guesswork out of sizing. 

Additionally, each mattress is waterproof for easy cleaning – a benefit that every parent can appreciate. When you factor in that these mattresses are breathable and eco-friendly, you can’t go wrong picking CuddleSnooze™ for your baby. 

 

10 Essentials Every New Mom Needs

/in , /by

Friends and family are quick to chime in with lists of items you’ll need once your baby arrives, but sometimes they forget to mention key details that make all the difference. 

 

You deserve the inside scoop and important accessories that will make your role as a parent easier. To help you out, we’ve gathered the top new mom must-haves and secret weapons.

 

  1. Stock Up On Postpartum Essentials

After delivery your body is going to need some time and TLC to recover. Along with ice packs and peri rinse bottles, get some sitz bath herbs to help soothe wounds, aches and reduce swelling. You’ll also need padsicles, like these from Frida Mom, which are chilled, large maxi pads that act as cold compresses and encourage healing.

 

  1. Understand The Importance Of Lactation Massaging

Clogged milk ducts are no fun and unfortunately are not uncommon for nursing moms. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends gently massaging the breast before each feeding. Breastfeed as often and as long as possible, offering your baby the sore breast first to drain it more effectively. Apply warm, moist towels on the affected breast several times a day. Also consider a milk expression aid that uses gentle vibrations to loosen ducts and get milk flowing again.

 

  1. Get A Portable Breast Pump

Pumping isn’t a pleasant mommy task. If you plan on nursing and are going to take the time to express milk for your little one, pick a pump that’s effective and portable. This will allow you to multitask while prepping baby’s next bottle. 

 

  1. Choose A Diaper Bag You Are Willing To Call Your Purse

Consolidate baby’s necessities by splurging for a diaper bag that doubles as your own bag. There is such a thing as a stylish and practical diaper bag. Armed with lots of pocket space and a washable finish, you’ll feel confident on the go. 

 

  1. Try On Your Baby Carrier Before You Buy It

Moving through life with your baby will be much easier with a baby carrier that’s comfortable to wear. However, you won’t know what fits your frame best until you take it for a test run. Look for one that has adjustable straps on your shoulders and hips so you can evenly distribute the weight, allowing your partner to use it too. 

 

  1. Invest In A Quality, Safe Crib Mattress

Quality sleep is essential for a baby’s health and wellbeing, and there are lots of factors to consider when looking into safe sleeping, such as firmness, quality components and manufacturing standards. Colgate Mattress ® was founded on the values of the safety of babies, children and the environment, which has earned our family owned and operated business many industry awards over the last 65 years.

 

  1. Make Sure Your High Chair Wipes Clean

There’s no avoiding it – baby meals are messy. High chairs with soft fabrics look comfy, but be sure that they can be wiped down with a wet cloth. Avocado, pureed veggies and Cheerios can creep into every crevice. It’s also helpful to be able to tuck the high chair tray into your dishwasher for easy cleaning. 

 

  1. You Need Two Strollers 

Really, two strollers? Consider the fact that you won’t want to push around a heavy stroller everywhere you go. Having a lightweight and collapsible option will save time, back pain and be a lifesaver in the long run. Look for one that’s JPMA certified to meet or exceed all safety standards, like this one from Jeep.

 

  1. Secure Baby Toys To Whatever Baby Is Sitting In

Rattles, teethers and other fun playthings stimulate baby’s senses, boost healthy development and keep your baby entertained when you’re busy. However, toys seldom stay in your little ones hands. To avoid playing fetch all day, pick up a few toy straps to attach items to your child’s stroller, car seat and high chair.

 

  1. Ask For Board Books 

We tend to think storytime is about reading, but for babies it’s all about grabbing at the pages and children’s books are easily ripped. Baby proof story time with board books! Not only do they stand up to your tiny, curious fingers, many of them include textured elements that encourage tactile exploration.
