We went with an innerspring mattress. It was $170 but we bought it for $130 as we purchased all our nursery goods and pram from the same baby shop. I thought that was quite reasonable for a good mattress. Both DH and I have bad backs (are we really that old?!) and we both see a firm, supportive mattresses as pretty important but that's just our opinion.
Target do an innerspring one too. Sorry cant remember how much.... but it will be better in the long run as it is more supportive for growing spines as the child weighs more. Especially good if you have a cot that converts to a toddler bed, you will be able to use it for longer with better back care benefits.
we've bought a Heavenly Dreams Air Flow mattress (picked it up direct from them in the city which saved us a lil bit). its innerspring, but it has a removable cover, and the whole thing is washable! still waiting for bubs but think we're gonna be happy with it
I bought DD a innnerspring one from the baby shop for $99 it is material on both sides..
I bought the innerspring one for the toddler bed I have for her to go into.. I had a foam one for my other kids and they were just fine but now I have gone for this one I so much prefer it
We went for innersprung last time and will again this time.
I have heard they are more supportive for babies backs but also and more important to me is that they breath better than foam.
Also, long term a innersprung can be resold or passed on easier than foam I think and foam doesnt break down (biodegrade), where as innersprung is made of more materials which will break down eventually.
