Round Cribs - Pros and Cons
For years, when you thought of a baby's crib, you thought of the rectangle mattress, the one that is about 52" x 28".
That might be about to change.
One of the newer items for the nursery is the round crib.
The mattress for this crib is a 42" round circle.
This has both advantages over the standard rectangle crib, as well as disadvantages.
Round cribs are unique and make a bold statement in the nursery.
Being a bit smaller, they take up less room and being round, and can easily fit into the middle of the room allowing for more use of wall space.
They also do not have any sharp corners to run into in the middle of the night.
Depending on the particular crib, it can allow more unfettered access to the child from anywhere in the room.
There are round cribs that have canopies on them, creating a definite front and back, and others that are similar to a standard rectangle crib with no canopy.
However, if there is a canopy, it makes it much simpler to hang a mobile or other hanging toy from the middle of the canopy, making it easier for baby to reach.
On the down side, round cribs are a bit more expensive than standard cribs, the mattresses are harder to come by and there are not nearly as many options when buying bedding as with standard sized cribs.
Also, a round crib mattress is only 42" from edge to edge.
A standard crib mattress is 52" x 28".
So you can keep baby in the crib longer with a standard crib mattress.
While that might not seem like a viable option, there are many jr.
beds that allow a toddler to transition from the crib to a bed.
This bed is much lower to the ground and has guards on the sides so your toddler is less likely to fall out.
And the jr. bed is made to fit with a crib mattress, so even though your child has moved out of the crib, their mattress is able to do double duty.
The internet is naturally a place where a round mattress, crib and crib bedding can be found in quantity.
So if you don't see what you want around town or don't need the hassle of running from store to store to find what you want, search online for round cribs, round crib mattress and round crib bedding.
Of course, you can find a multitude of standard cribs, mattresses and bedding online as well.

One of the newest mattresses on the market is the Tempurpedic or Memory Foam Mattress.

Viscoelastic, such as that used in Tempur-Pedic and Isoform beds, is the most expensive and most durable. Less expensive polyurethane may initially feel comfortable, but over time the material can degrade and compress more quickly than viscoelastic....

Futon Sofas
The Japanese are the ones who started the futon bedding system. Actually, they used the word "shikibuton", meaning mattress; it was the Americans who named it a futon. Unlike the Japanese, the American concept included the mattress, the convertible furniture it sits on, or both.
Basically, a futon acts as a sofa during the day and is converted into a sleeping space at night. Some of the futons have wooden frames that can be folded and put away to save space.
The futon sofa has cushions that are usually stuffed with cotton batting and that can be found in a wide range of colors, sizes and fabrics. Those used to sleeping and sitting on a futon sofa rave about the good back support it provides. Another plus point of futon mattresses and cushions is that they can be conveniently moved outdoors to air out. Sometimes, the futon sofa may need some assembly. The most important thing to do while assembling the sofa is to take your time; it is best to devote a whole afternoon...
