Colgate Kids Eco-Visco Crib Mattress Review
This is a sponsored post of the Colgate Kids Eco-Visco Crib Mattress. I received one Eco-Visco Crib Mattress and one Organic Cotton Eco Cover in exchange for my honest opinion of the product. I will only endorse products that I feel are in the best interest of my readers.
Crib Mattresses! Who ever thinks about crib mattresses? Well, no one really, unless you need to go and purchase one! Then you “think” a lot about them!! And you learn that there are so many of them on the market and what they are made of, how firm they are and how much they cost varies so much! It’s enough to make your head spin!
Of course, you want to buy only the “best” for your little bundle of joy, but what does this really mean?
When I started researching this on the internet for myself, one company’s name kept appearing – Colgate Kids. Well, I thought “why does a toothpaste ad keep coming up under crib mattresses?” I finally clicked on it and found out that Colgate Kids is a 60 year old Crib Mattress Company!! I just love that fact and the fact that they are a family owned American business operating out of Atlanta, Georgia. They take their job very seriously and they only recommend and manufacture mattresses that their own children and grandchildren can sleep on!
I was asked to review the Eco-Visco Angel Dual Firmness Mattress. It arrived and the first thing that I noticed was how light weight this mattress is! It weighs only 9lbs. 9 oz. and the reason that I like that is because of how easy it is to lift while in the crib to put a new sheet on it! I also like the fact that this mattress has square corners so it fits nice and snug in the crib and the sheets fit snugly so that they don’t “slip off” while baby is sleeping and moving around. There are no gaps between the crib and the mattress, so that puts a parent’s mind at ease. The Eco-Visco Angel is a dual firmness crib mattress that contains Eco-Foam and a cooling gel.The extra firm infant side features a 5” thick Eco-Foam that supports growing bones. The toddler side has a 5” Eco-Foam and 1 ” gel that not only supports the child but also helps regulate their sleeping body temperature. The Eco-Visco Angel is the only crib mattress with a full 1 ” gel that covers the whole mattress face. It is GREENGUARDcertified, non-toxic, contains no chemical fire retardants and doesn’t produce any harmful emissions. The Eco-Foam consists of environmentally friendlier foam made with plant -based oils, and the mattress is completed with a medical grade, soft stretch-knit cover. For cleanliness, the mattress is non-allergenic, antimicrobial and antibacterial and provides ‘no access’ for wetness or bed bugs. It is soft, not like the typical plastic mattress covers that cause your little one to get hot and sweaty!
So, as you can see, the Eco-Visco Angel mattress is made with the highest quality materials! But the best part: It carries a lifetime guarantee!!
The other great feature of this mattress is that it will also fit a toddler bed so this mattress can last you a while! I have read reviews on Amazon where people have used the mattress for 2 of their children and that it is still in great shape! That means a lot when you are making an investment.
“There are three things that are essential for your baby’s health,” said Dennis Schuetz, Director of Marketing, “car seats, crib mattresses and nutrition, in that order. Up to the age of two a baby is growing faster than at any time in his or her life, and spends 70% of its time on a mattress. It is so important to have a firm mattress that will support a baby’s bones and body, and help him or her develop correctly.”

Colgate Kids also sent me an Organic Cotton EcoCover to review. I really like how well it fits on the Eco-Visco Angel but it will fit all standard size American crib mattresses, as well. The ultra soft cover is made with certified organic cotton and holds up well with repeated washing and tumble drying with minimal shrinkage and pilling.
Elastic all the way around the perimeter of the back of the cover ensures a safe, good and tight fit to the mattress.
The waterproofing is on the back side of the cover thus keeping organic cloth closest to baby’s skin while keeping any liquids from reaching the surface of the mattress.
So….the big question here is how did my little granddaughter like her new mattress? Well, let’s just say, “she’s sleepin’ like a baby” and that’s great news for both her and her parents!!

I love that the mattress cover is organic cotton. Our first suffers from excema and with our second due in a month, this would be perfect!

I couldn’t live without my baby carrier. I wear my son A LOT even around the house.

I could REALLY use something waterproof to protect his crib mattress as we plan to potty train soon. Thanks for the giveaway!

My must have for babies (aside from the obvious diapers) is onesies. I’m always concerned with keeping her warm! I love that this mattress cover is waterproof. Mine is not- tho the mattress is a plastic type one, I still don’t want anything wet reaching it if I can help it!
I couldn’t live without My “Brest Friend”! I love that this mattress is non-toxic, contains no chemical fire retardants, and the foam is made with plant-based oils.

We can’t live without the swing that we have! My son LOVES it! Also, I love anything organic so this mattress cover is perfect for our home!

Fave baby product is my ERGO carrier, and I’d really like to win the organic cover since my baby will be spending a lot of time in his crib.

Can’t live without a good baby carrier! Used it so much with both kids.
can’t’ live without our cloth diapers! And I would love an organic mattress cover and new mattress for my little guy. His mattress is not very high quality.
I can’t live without my Becco baby carrier. It is the only way I can grocery shop. I like that this crib mattress won’t be off=gasing toxic chemicals while my little guys are sleeping.
I love having a baby carrier/wrap… makes it so much easier to get stuff down while still holding baby. Love that the cover doesn’t shrink. We have the hardest time with covers in the dryer… they’re always trying to melt on us!
I don’t have a can’t live without yet because my daughter won’t be born until the end of the year (I’m due Jan. 1st 2014!). I would love to win the mattress cover because I want my baby to be safe and healthy.

I can’t live without a baby carrier, like a boba! I love this mattress cover and would definitely get great use out of it. I’ll have to look into buying them as I have two in crib/toddler mattresses still. They should make bigger sizes like twin/full/queen (brothers share a bed!) and smaller like a pack n play sheet. 🙂
The rock and Play. ANd I love this cover would love a new mattress for my sons crib and toddler bed after that
Baby isn’t here yet, but I love that the cover is organic.
The thing I cant live without is natural bath products for me LO. I love this mattress and cover. having organic bedding is important to me so the cover is awesome!
Cant live with out a nursing pillow!
“rib fitted mattress pad cover fits all standard American crib mattresses and has elastic all around for safe snug fit” Love that.. seem like th one on our twin bed (a different brand) is alwasy coming off.. not snug at all!
We love our baby carrier! We use it everyday!
I think safety and quality is so important in regards to where baby is sleeping so having a quality mattress and cover would be so great!
I love that this cover is organic and will keep moisture away from my little darlings skin.

My “can’t live without” baby product is the swing. I like this mattress and cover because it is organic and safe!
The swing! It was the only way I got a shower the first few months! It was also the only way I got him to nap the first 8 months.
My must need item would be wipes. We use them all the time. I would love to have this for my new grandbaby. she could definitely use it. 🙂
I’m due Aprile 8 2014 and right now I can’t live with out the breast pads that can ether be cold or hot I don’t no what the names of this product is off hand. I love that this crib pad is organic try to by more organic bedding, clothe and food.
I cant live without my boppy! I love that the mattress has squared corners instead of the round ones I hate the gap that is left in the corrners of the crib from the mattress.
