View Full Version : Anyone's mattress too BIG for crib?

We measured our crib and it's 51 1/2 inches long inside--up to the brackets that hold the crib together. All the mattresses I can find say they are 52 inches, so I'm wondering if it's going to fit. 52 inches looks like I just might be able to SQUEEZE it in the crib (maybe not, though--I'm not sure), but then I'd have to squeeze it around those brackets, as well. Is this normal? I have a Young America, Isabella crib (4 in 1), if that helps.

Oh and I have to order online, b/c of the very limited selection here, so want it to be right. There's a restocking fee at most places for returned mattresses (online) and also return shipping costs.

you could try to contact the manufacturer of the crib and check but I think the standard mattresses will probably fit just fine. Better to have a snug fit than to have gaps that can be dangerous!
