Naturepedic Organic Breathable 2-Stage Crib Mattress (Lightweight)
Verdict
About as clean as crib mattresses get: organic cotton, no polyurethane foam, no flame-retardant chemicals, and seven third-party certifications. It's expensive, but it lasts into the toddler years and comes with a 100-night trial.
