Newton Crib Mattress: An Introduction
Newton Baby focuses on mattresses and other products designed specifically for infants and toddlers. What sets this model apart from other crib mattresses is the brand’s unique Wovenaire technology. Made from a food-grade polymer woven in a pool of water, the mattress’ core is 90% air by volume, giving it exceptional breathability.
What You Need to Know About the Newton Crib Mattress
The Newton Crib Mattress is designed for safety and comfort. Newton eschews typical crib mattress materials in favor of its Wovenaire technology composed of interlaced polymer fibers. The result is a firm sleep surface that meets federal safety standards and is designed to deliver the support a baby needs for healthy development.
This mattress comes in three options. Parents can choose from a 4-inch profile and single-layered cover in the Essential, or a 5.5-inch height and double-layered cover in the Original. Newton also sells a 5.5-inch Waterproof option that makes cleaning easier and works well for both infants and toddlers.

What is the Newton Crib Mattress Made of?
The Original version of the Newton Crib Mattress features a quilted dual-layer polyester cover. Just below, a viscose encasement creates a natural fire barrier. The Wovenaire core is made from food-grade polymer strands that create a breathable and supportive sleep surface.
The Waterproof model of the Newton Crib Mattress has an infant side and a toddler side. It includes a thermoplastic polyurethane barrier on the toddler side to accommodate children in the potty training phase.
The Essential is a pared-down model that uses a thinner Wovenaire core and a thinner, single-layer cover.
All components of all versions of the Newton Crib Mattress are washable and certified by GREENGUARD Gold for low chemical emissions.
