There are many compelling reasons for using crib mattress pads. While these crib accessories serve an aesthetic purpose, there are other and more important benefits to be had by using them.
Similar to covers, crib mattress pads provide ventilation and support
Rubber Mattress Pad
You will find pads made of many types of materials from fabrics to rubber. In the great majority of instances, they will be filled with batting or foam. Alternatively, if they are made of rubber, the type of rubber used will be airy and fluffy. They are great accessories for camouflaging the defects of the mattress as far as feel (softness and hardness is concerned). In fact, if you have the right kind of pad, any mattress is a good for your baby. Besides improving the feel of the mattress, these pads also allow air to circulate under the baby's body, giving him a fresher feeling.
Crib mattress pads also protect the mattress from getting wet
All moms know how destructive moisture is for mattresses. The liquid seeps into the material and becomes very difficult to dry out even under the sun. And even if baby doesn't wet on the mattress or it has never been spilled on, the baby's sweat little by little soaks into the mattress. Once the mattress is moist inside, fungi and bacteria begin to consider its cavities as their home. Fungi can combine with chemicals to cause Sudden Infant Deaths. Bacteria can infect the infant in many ways. Using good crib mattress pads, you can prevent moisture from accumulating in the mattress itself.
There are also 'under' crib mattress pads
Although pads are normally found on top of a mattress, there are those which are placed under the mattress. This type is not as ornate as the pad that is displayed on the mattress. Normally, it is just a layer of foam. It acts as a cushion for the mattress itself. The effect of this type of pad is to reduce the squeeze on the mattress by providing it with its own fluffy layer of support.
Mattress pads that double as bed sheets
Although the name 'pad' indicated that this item is placed on the mattress, there are crib mattress pads that can be tucked in under the mattress like a bed sheet. This prevents the pads from moving when the baby wriggles in the crib. It is also safer to use than pads that you place on top of the mattress because the baby can't get under them if they are firmly tucked in.
Mattress pads for the winter
In the cold season, using food-grade plastic pads keeps the baby warmer since they absorb and retain his body heat. You may also find rubber pads that serve the same purpose.
Crib mattress pads can both enhance the appeal of the crib and protect your baby from harmful microbes. They also contribute greatly to the comfort of your baby by adding another cushioned layer to his mattress and allowing the air to flow under him.

Seven Comforts Premium Latex Foam Mattress Topper (Queen) Overview
Seven Comforts latex mattress toppers are 100% all-natural inside and out, because you wouldn't want it any other way. Each mattress topper is made with a 100% unbleached cotton shell filled with the finest natural latex foam produced using latex sap extracted from rubber trees. Natural latex is a breathable material, a trait further enhanced by our unique micro-rod construction, resulting in a pillow that stays cool and dry, does not trap heat, and promotes superior uninterrupted sleep. Natural latex is also inherently anti-microbial, hypoallergenic and resists dust mites, making it perfect for allergy sufferers or anyone who wants to sleep on a healthy bed.A well designed mattress provides support for the sleeper¡¯s primary weight points, especially in the shoulder and hip area. However, this leaves the lighter areas such as arms and lower legs, with inadequate support. Seven Comforts¡¯ all natural latex mattress topper is a product designed to address this shortcoming. The unique compression and conforming characteristics of latex foam provides comfortable support to the lighter parts of the sleeper¡¯s anatomy, especially for side sleepers. Because Latex foam is a durable material, the mattress topper will not deform or sag, and typically remain usable for over a decade. Regardless of the firmness or age of the mattress, a Seven Comforts mattress topper can dramatically improve its overall comfort and sleep quality.
NOTE: Seven Comforts mattress toppers are stored and shipped in plastic packaging. Being sealed in plastic packaging sometimes traps odors. A few hours of airing usually removes the odor.
