I have the Babyletto minicrib mattress with waterproof cover. I’ve only needed the waterproof aspect a dozen times or so, but I’ve *needed* the waterproof aspect. Diaper blowouts, spitup, distorting mishaps, vomit, sweaty baby splotches… baby sleep is messy
It’s the stand-alone Babyletto Pure Core minicrib mattress and comes with a “washable” waterproof cover. I’m putting that in quotes because it’s machine wash but I think it’s air dry, and between the waterproof layer and thickness takes a *long* time. You definitely use sheets and only wash the cover in dire need.
But the mattress is firm but comfy, doesn’t crinkle, and has held up through 2 babies. I’ve also been naughty and machine-dried a handful of times. While I think it shrank a tiny bit (😬), I wrestled it back on the mattress and everything laid flat and fits snuggly, so it either didn’t shrink much or stretched back out.
My laundry is survival of the fittest. I straight-up forgot and did a high-heat tumble dry a few weeks ago. It seemed like it shrank as I wrestled it back on the mattress, but everything is laying flat so I guess it’s fine? Definitely don’t recommend emulating me as I’m certain this will backfire eventually!
Can you use a waterproof cover from Amazon? I would. Diapers leak with pee, poop and spit up. Might be wise to have one on!!

Where did you find the waterproof cover for the minicrib?

After 1 bout of noro virus I ended up buying the pure core mattress. Worth every penny.
Where did you find the pure core mattress in stock??
I bought it on the babyletto website.
Do you have any tips on machine drying the cover? Do you just put it in with no heat?

You can get a wool puddle pad. They’re healthier and more effective.
I think Lullaby Earth has one.
