Essential Mattress

Do I need to add anything to my Newton mattress?

Your Newton mattress consists of the Wovenaire® core material covered by a viscose encasement and the single-layer removable outer cover. While your Newton mattress is the perfect sleep surface for your baby, you may consider adding some other items to create the ultimate sleep environment (and have backups in the linen closet).

• Chances are you'll want to purchase an Extra Cover. Fully removable, machine washable and interchangeable, our Extra Covers are lifesavers for parents who prefer to have one ready when late-night accidents occur.
• Our Waterproof Mattress Pad is a safe, breathable option to traditional waterproof pads. It's perfect for adding to your Newton once your little one can roll in both directions on their own (often sooner than you might think)! It's easily the best item to have in your diaper bag as well — for caregivers or when traveling — as it can add a layer of breathability to any traditional sleeping surface.
• Add sheets to your Newton from day one with our perfect-fit Organic Cotton Muslin sheets. They're as breathable as our mattress, gentle to the touch, and get softer with more washes!

Can my baby breathe through this mattress?

Newton crib mattresses were tested for air permeability, suffocation risk, and Co2 rebreathing factors in a third-party CPSC-accredited laboratory. During these tests, Newton crib mattresses showed 97% more airflow than the leading organic crib mattress, reducing the risk of suffocation.

Essential Bassinet

What mattress is in the Essential Bassinet?

The Newton Essential Bassinet features a Wovenaire® breathe-thru mattress, engineered for maximum airflow and safety. Made without foam, glue, latex, or springs, its patented Wovenaire® core is 90% air and 10% food-grade polymer, delivering firm, breathable support.

At 1.5” deep, this mattress is as thick as safety regulations allow, ensuring it meets the strictest industry standards for bassinets. This depth is carefully designed to provide both comfort and compliance, reducing suffocation risk while maintaining the highest level of breathability and support for your baby.

What is a stand-alone bassinet? 

A stand-alone bassinet is a safe, cozy sleep space designed just for newborns. Unlike bedside bassinets that attach to your bed, a stand-alone bassinet is a free-standing piece of furniture that gives your baby their own dedicated sleep surface—while still keeping them close. For safe sleep, always place it at least a foot away from your bed.

What are the main benefits of the Essential Bassinet?

The Newton Essential Bassinet is perfect for parents looking for a breathable, lightweight, and travel-friendly sleep solution that offers maximum safety and convenience. Here’s why someone might choose it over a bedside sleeper:

• Bigger Sleep Space – The Essential Bassinet has the largest-in-class sleep surface (35” x 19”), allowing for longer use up to 6 months compared to many bedside sleepers.
• 360° Visibility & Airflow – Fully breathable mesh sides provide clear sightlines from anywhere in the room, unlike bedside sleepers that are designed for only one viewing angle.
• Completely Freestanding – Unlike a bedside sleeper, which attaches to the bed, the Essential Bassinet is fully portable, making it easy to move around the house or take on the go.
• Easy Travel & Storage – Lightweight (15 lbs), packs flat, and includes a carry bag, making it ideal for traveling families or those with limited space.
• No Setup Restrictions – While bedside sleepers require a compatible bed height and attachment, the Essential Bassinet can be placed anywhere in the room with tool-free assembly.

Compact Travel Crib

Can I bring the Compact Travel Crib on an airplane?

Yes! It is small enough to meet airlines' carry-on and overhead bin requirements.

Does the Compact Travel Crib come with a travel bag? 

Yes! The Compact Travel Crib has a backpack design for hands-free carrying or heavy-duty handles. It also has a luggage sleeve for easy transport through the airport.

What is the difference between the Compact Travel Crib & the Travel Crib & Play Yard? 

Newton Compact Travel Crib: Perfect for families who need something lightweight with easy assembly for life on the go. At just 13 lbs, it’s compact enough to fit in most airplane overhead bins. Our new hassle-free assembly makes it easy to set up and take down in just seconds. Designed for seamless travel, it includes backpack straps, a luggage sleeve, and a carry handle for true hands-free convenience.

Newton Travel Crib & Play Yard: This is designed for families who want the most space with versatility. It has the largest sleep and play surface of any travel crib on the market and is meant for parents who want to provide a roomier area for both sleep and play. Weighing 17 lbs, it includes a travel bag for easier transport and can be checked as luggage when flying. An optional Bassinet Insert can also be purchased for added flexibility and comfort for your little one.

Both include Newton’s patented Wovenaire® mattress and breathable mesh sides, giving your baby safer, more comfortable sleep wherever you go.
