Question
Which is better, a foam mattress or innerspring mattress for infants? Thank you.

Answer
Dear Lauren:

I would not know which is better but would advise you to purchase your baby's crib mattress at a reliable juvenile furniture store. Be certain the mattress is waterproof, resists mold and mildew and is very frim.

Sincerely,

Mary Pat
