Mattress
When it comes to crib mattresses, firmness and sizing are important. The AAP recommends using a firm mattress that fits comfortably and does not leave an indentation when you lay a sheet down on it. The mattress must also be the proper size for the crib, and it should remain in place--even after your baby grows out of it.
You should also determine if the mattress contains chemicals that could harm your child. Choose a mattress that is odor-free and free of volatile organic compounds (VOCs)--which often emit an unpleasant chemical smell. A good indication is a certificate from CertiPUR-US, which certifies that the mattress's foam is free of Ozone depleters, PBDEs and TDCPP and TCEP flame retardants, mercury, lead and other heavy metals, formaldehyde, Phthalates that are regulated by the Consumer Product Safety Commission, and volatile organic compounds.

If you choose to buy them separately, make sure they meet the safety standards. For instance, they must be free of missing or loose screws, brackets, and other hardware. They should be sturdy enough to withstand your child's weight but not be too thin. They should also be secured in a secure way to ensure that they are not removed from your child.

Avoid placing quilts, pillows blankets, sheepskins and blankets inside the crib. These could cause an unintentional buildup of carbon dioxide, increasing your baby's SIDS risk.
