Colgate Kids Mattress Review

Colgate Kids is a crib and kids mattress specialist, not an adult mattress brand. The Colgate Mattress family firm in Atlanta has operated since 1955. Four 6-inch dual-firmness, 2-stage crib models run about $180 to $310 at baby retailers. You get GREENGUARD Gold and CertiPUR-US foams, waterproof covers and US-made construction. It's best for nurseries. Your caveat is that there are no adult sizes, no trial and no published warranty.

Pick by your child's stage, not sleep position. Use the extra-firm infant side for babies. Flip to the plusher toddler side for toddlers. All four models are dual-firmness or 2-stage.

Choose the 2-N-1 Innerspring for a classic coil feel at the lowest price. Choose the Eco Classica III for the mainstream eco-foam value pick. The Breathe Flex AIRE is for airflow-focused foam. The EverTrue Elite Visco gives you the premium memory-foam feel with SecureCore ventilation.

Adult-style guidance by sleep position and body weight doesn't apply to crib mattresses. Follow pediatric safe-sleep guidance for infants. That means a firm, flat surface.

We saw a band from about $179.99 for the 2-N-1 Innerspring to $309.99 MSRP for the EverTrue Elite Visco. The Eco Classica III is $219.99 MSRP and about $199 on the street. The Breathe Flex AIRE is $299.99 MSRP.

That's competitive mid-range crib pricing. It undercuts breathable-premium rivals while including GREENGUARD Gold and CertiPUR-US certifications and waterproof covers. Several listings showed out-of-stock or archived status, so street availability varies. The brand doesn't publish a full per-retailer price table (checked September 2026).

Per retailer listings and brand coverage, the 2-N-1 has an innerspring coil core. The other three have foam or visco foam cores. The brand describes eco-friendlier foams using plant oils.

Covers are medical-grade nylon. They're waterproof, stain- and odor-resistant and hypoallergenic, with inverted seams. They're also bed-bug and dust-mite proof. The brand describes a naturally fire-resistant construction. It cites GREENGUARD Gold and CertiPUR-US certified foams. The mattresses fit all standard-size American cribs and toddler beds, and they're handcrafted in the USA.

The brand doesn't publish per-model layer stacks, coil counts, foam densities or cover wash instructions (checked September 2026).

Durability signals are brand-reported and thin. Waterproof sealed covers with inverted seams resist stains, odors and allergens. The foam lines carry GREENGUARD Gold and CertiPUR-US certifications. The family maker has operated since 1955 and specializes only in crib mattresses.

The brand doesn't publish warranty length or sag and indent coverage (checked September 2026). We found no independent durability testing, such as indent-retention data. You can't verify long-term hold-up against rivals.

BabyBargains calls Colgate "one of our favorite brands for affordable foam crib mattresses". It says "Quality is very good". It notes they're all made in the USA. It rates the brand A-. Its criticisms are that added upgrades seem nice but unnecessary. It also says the brand came late to the green segment. The EverTrue line was too new for shopper opinions at the time of writing.

Retailer listings show availability friction. The EverTrue Hush at $199.99 was sold out at CribAndKids, and the Breathe Flex AIRE was out of stock on Locally. The brand doesn't publish site ratings or aggregate review counts (checked September 2026).

You'll mostly buy through baby and mass retailers, not direct. Those include Walmart, Target, Amazon and BuyBuyBaby exclusives, in a $120 to $350 range per brand coverage. Specialty shops such as CribAndKids and The Velveteen Rabbit carry it too, along with local stores through Locally listings.

We found no brand showroom network or phone-sales channel. Sibling and shared-factory relationships aren't published (checked September 2026). In-store tryout depends on local baby-store floor stock.

Crib mattresses ship boxed through the selling retailer. Shipping cost, speed and free-shipping thresholds follow each retailer's policy. The brand doesn't publish them at brand level (checked September 2026).

White-glove setup and old-mattress removal generally don't apply to 6-inch crib mattresses, and we found no brand program. The brand doesn't publish frame or base requirements. It fits standard-size American cribs and toddler beds.

The brand doesn't publish a brand-level sleep trial (checked September 2026). Colgate Kids sells through retailers, so each retailer's return window and mechanics apply. Examples are the Walmart, Target and Amazon policies.

Trial length, return shipping responsibility, restocking or hygiene fees, and exchange procedures aren't published at brand level. Confirm the specific retailer's baby-mattress return terms before you buy.

The brand doesn't publish warranty length, coverage terms, sag and indent thresholds, exclusions or a claim process (checked September 2026). We couldn't verify a brand warranty page or per-model warranty statement. The official colgatekids.com site was unavailable when we checked, and colgatemattress.com showed no live store. The retailer listings we reviewed didn't state warranty terms.

Keep your proof of purchase. Check the warranty card in the box, or ask the retailer before you buy.

Against Newton Baby, Newton wins on washable breathable design. Colgate wins on price, at $180 to $310 against premium, with comparable certifications. Against Graco and Sealy crib lines, Colgate wins on GREENGUARD Gold and CertiPUR-US depth and crib-only specialization. Mass rivals win on ubiquity and lower entry prices.

Against Naturepedic, Naturepedic wins on certified-organic materials. Colgate wins on affordability. Against Moonlight Slumber, both are dual-sided specialists. Colgate offers a broader 2-stage lineup, and Moonlight leans small-business direct. Colgate is crib and kids only, so none of these comparisons extend to adult mattresses.

We read the brand's own product, policy and warranty pages, then checked retailer listings and public complaint sites like the Better Business Bureau. We last checked everything here in September 2026. Prices and policies change, so confirm them on the seller's page before you buy. You can read more in our methodology and editorial policy.
