Too indecisive for registering. Help me with crib mattress?

[chicago]

Which crib mattress did/are you registering for?  I've read too many damn reviews, there's too much online, and now my brain is just saturated and I have no idea.  Just like anything, for every really good review, someone else says the mattress is "unsafe", "shrinks", "smells", or is "too loud because of the plastic".  

We spent a few hours at Buy Buy Baby today and now I've been working on Amazon all afternoon.  I am OVER it!  

eta: I'm sure I'm not the first to ask this, but my search function isn't working.  If someone has already answered this before, I'm ok with a link to a previous post!

I got the colegate II or III from amazon. A friend had it for her premie and she's still using it as a toddler bed at four years old.

Sorry on phone

My mom got us one….I think it's a serta? You just want it to be firm, I dunno if it matters what brand.

I ended up ordering this one from Amazon:

I'm debating between that one and this one at the moment --

We were going to get the Naturepedic organic but ended up with the Lullaby Earth 2 side lightweight one instead. It is very light and firm, even at the edges, made by the same company as Naturepedic and Eco-friendly. I like that it is 6 inches deep.

This, except we didn't get the 2 sided one, we got the cheaper one. And I used a 20% off at buy buy baby coupon to get it!

I went the slacker route with pretty much everything we're getting - looked up what Baby Bargains recommends, double checked the review online, and went with that. With that method, we got the Naturepedic organic.

That's the one we got too.  It's a little pricey and you could probably spend less on a fine mattress.

Definitely check Lucie's List for help registering -- it's overwhelming.  A piece of me feels like I have too much stuff.  I had to keep adding b/c my registry was getting wiped out (a nice problem to have .

I was also looking at Baby Bargains and Lucie's List for absolutely everything. You're not alone in indecisiveness :-)

I ended up with the Sealy soybean mattress recommended in Baby Bargains. It was around $110 at Babies R Us but only $85 on Amazon.
