It's an extra at grandma's house, so it should be pretty new and safe, and definitely past the 6 months mark. hopefully it will work out because I haven't successfully purchase anything from Craigslist yet. I'm always too slow :P Well, Thanks again :)<br />-KAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3747292134428854624.post-61740268466671035772012-02-26T08:48:22.968-05:002012-02-26T08:48:22.968-05:00K- Happy shopping!

Off-gassing can take up to six months, but that is a luxury we don't always have, and I don't stress about it since we buy so little new and thus get little exposure in our house. Anecdotally, I can share I have a very sensitive nose and I can stop smelling new products in our house at about two to three months. -P-Pammhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10413194582908263196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3747292134428854624.post-86403103086567368082012-02-26T00:04:00.198-05:002012-02-26T00:04:00.198-05:00That's great!

I was also planning to getting the mattress @BuyBuyBaby because of the 20% coupon. I've not decided whether to get Natural I Mattress with Organic Cotton Cover by Colgate or Naturepedic. I like that Natural I uses coconut husks as its core, but it's the most expensive one. I haven't physically been to the store to look yet, so hopefully that will help me make my decision. Thanks for the info. I just found your blog as I was researching online yesterday. I like reading your blog. It's full with useful information. Thank you! <br />-KAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3747292134428854624.post-6898251276806184702012-02-25T09:15:19.095-05:002012-02-25T09:15:19.095-05:00K- It really does fit!

When planning, I had the exact same concern because of the numbers, but we decided to go ahead and get them both, figuring that a snug fitting mattress is the safety standard. It requires some heft to get the mattress in and out to change sheets, but it works. In Part 1 of the bedding series, you can see the mattress in the crib. -P-Pammhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10413194582908263196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3747292134428854624.post-19463656786366832162012-02-25T01:44:15.701-05:002012-02-25T01:44:15.701-05:00The Naturpedic mattress fits the IKEA SNIGLAR?

How has it been working out for you?
