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.
Good fit: parents furnishing a standard-size crib or toddler bed; buyers wanting a dual-firmness infant/toddler 2-stage design; shoppers prioritizing GREENGUARD Gold/CertiPUR-US certified foams, waterproof hypoallergenic covers, and US-made crib mattresses at $180-$310. Poor fit: adults or teens seeking a primary mattress; shoppers wanting Twin/Full/Queen/King sizes, a sleep trial, white-glove setup, or a published brand warranty.

Chapter 02
Comfort and firmness: which mattress fits you
Why this matters to you: Feel names are the brand's words, not measurements. Use them to shortlist two or three beds, then let your body decide.
Pick by child stage, not sleep position: use the extra-firm infant side for babies and flip to the plusher toddler side for toddlers (all four models are dual-firmness/2-stage). Choose 2-N-1 Innerspring for a classic coil feel at the lowest price; Eco Classica III for the mainstream eco-foam value pick; Breathe Flex AIRE for airflow-focused foam; EverTrue Elite Visco for the premium memory-foam feel with SecureCore ventilation.
Adult-style guidance by sleep position and body weight does not apply to crib mattresses; follow pediatric safe-sleep guidance (firm flat surface) for infants.
Firmness finder
Which Colgate Kids feel fits you?
Weight chart not yet researched
Weight and sleep position can change how a bed feels. We have not yet checked whether Colgate Kids publishes a fit chart by body weight, so use a trial, where one is offered, to test the bed the way you sleep at home.
Neck: on your side, your nose should line up with the middle of your chest, not tip up or down.
Shoulders: your bottom shoulder should sink in. Tingling or a numb arm means the bed is too firm for you.
Lower back: on your back, slide a flat hand under your waist. A big gap means too firm; no room at all can mean too soft.
Hips: ask someone to look from the side. Hips lower than shoulders means the bed is too soft for you.

Compare the mattresses
Why this matters to you: Models from one brand can differ in feel, height and layers. Match the feel label and height to how you sleep before you compare prices.

How well do the mattresses hold up?
Why this matters to you: A mattress is a long buy. Lean on the written warranty and real owner reports to judge how it will last.
Durability signals are brand-reported and thin: waterproof sealed covers with inverted seams resist stains, odors, and allergens; foam lines carry GREENGUARD Gold/CertiPUR-US certifications; family maker operating since 1955 specializing only in crib mattresses.
Warranty length and sag/indent coverage Not published as of Sept 2026; no independent durability testing (e.g., repeated roller-cycle or indent-retention data) found, so long-term hold-up versus rivals cannot be verified.

Sleep trials, returns, exchanges and fees
Why this matters to you: Feel is hard to judge in a store or in a week. Know your exit plan and its cost before you pay.
No brand-level sleep trial published as of Sept 2026 - Colgate Kids sells through retailers, so each retailer's return window and mechanics apply (e.g., Walmart/Target/Amazon policies). Trial length, return shipping responsibility, restocking or hygiene fees, and exchange procedures at brand level: Not published as of Sept 2026. Confirm the specific retailer's baby-mattress return terms before purchase.

Chapter 07
Delivery, setup and old-mattress removal
Why this matters to you: Delivery terms decide your first week with the bed. Confirm the date, setup and old-bed removal before you pay.
Crib mattresses ship boxed via the selling retailer; shipping cost, speed, and free-shipping thresholds follow each retailer's policy and were not published at brand level as of Sept 2026. White-glove setup and old-mattress removal are generally not applicable to 6-inch crib mattresses and no brand program was found. No Colgate Kids frame/base requirements published; fits standard-size American cribs and toddler beds.
Typical wait: Follows each retailer's policy

What do the warranties cover?
Why this matters to you: A warranty is only as good as its terms. Read the written terms and use a supported base, because the wrong frame can end coverage.
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.
Warranty length, coverage terms, sag/indent thresholds, exclusions, and claim process: Not published as of Sept 2026. No brand warranty page or per-model warranty statement could be verified; retailer listings reviewed did not state warranty terms. Keep proof of purchase and check the warranty card in the box or ask the retailer before buying.

Strip the bed down to the mattress and wait a few hours so the top layers can recover.

Why this matters to you: Star ratings depend on who posts and where. Read the low-star reviews for patterns, not just the average.
BabyBargains rates Colgate "one of our favorite brands for affordable foam crib mattresses" with "Quality is very good," all made in the USA, final verdict "Rating: A-." Criticisms noted: added upgrades seen as nice-but-unnecessary, late entry to the green segment versus rivals, and EverTrue line too new for shopper opinions at time of writing.

What are the mattresses made of?
Why this matters to you: Layer names say little without numbers. Ask what is inside your exact model, layer by layer.
Per retailer listings and brand coverage: innerspring coil core (2-N-1) or foam/visco foam cores (other three); eco-friendlier foams using plant oils; medical-grade nylon waterproof covers that are stain-, odor-resistant, hypoallergenic, and bed-bug/dust-mite proof with inverted seams; naturally fire-resistant construction; GREENGUARD Gold and CertiPUR-US certified foams; fits all standard-size American cribs and toddler beds; handcrafted/made in the USA.

Colgate Kids vs. other mattress brands
Why this matters to you: A fair comparison needs the same facts for both beds. Line up price, trial and warranty for each one.
Vs Newton Baby: Newton wins on washable breathable design, Colgate wins on price ($180-$310 vs premium) with comparable certifications. Vs Graco/Sealy crib lines: Colgate wins on GREENGUARD Gold/CertiPUR-US depth and crib-only specialization; mass rivals win on ubiquity and lower entry prices. Vs Naturepedic: Naturepedic wins on certified-organic materials; Colgate wins on affordability.
Vs Moonlight Slumber: both dual-sided specialists; Colgate offers broader 2-stage lineup, Moonlight leans small-business direct. Colgate is crib/kids-only - none of these comparisons extend to adult mattresses.
Competitor details reflect published prices and specs on the date shown. Mattress brands may update prices and trial terms over time.

How we research and report
This page is an early draft built from our research sheet for Colgate Kids. We read the brand's own pages and public listings, and we do not test mattresses ourselves. Fields marked "Not yet researched" are still being checked.
Reviewed in Sept 2026 from retailer and review sources because the brand has no working official site (colgatekids.com is offline and colgatemattress.com is parked). Key sources: four Locally listings with MSRP and street prices, the CribAndKids EverTrue Hush product page ($199.99, sold out, materials and certifications), and the BabyBargains brand review (A- verdict).
Brand claims are labeled as retailer/press-reported; gaps (trial, warranty, ratings, per-model specs) are recorded as not found, not filled.
