Choosing a quality mattress for your cot is vital to ensure that your child has the best quality sleep. The most suitable cot mattresses are made from natural fibres like wool, cotton or organic latex. They must be breathable to prevent your baby from overheating. Avoid PU foam mattresses as they are typically less expensive, but they have a short lifespan and degrade quickly, especially when they're wet.

Sturdy Construction

When preparing the arrival of your baby there are a lot of things to think about. From the nursery to clothes and feeding regimes, there are endless options and decisions to be made. But one of the most important is the cot bed mattress.

Cot mattresses should be strong enough to support the infants and tiny babies. They must also be responsive to pressure, movement, and turning. Mattresses made of cheap foam and springs tend to deform easily and are less responsive than a latex-coated pocket spring mattress or coir. These mattresses last longer and will be better for your baby's spine.

It is essential to check the mattress height when choosing a white and wood cot bed. This will allow for your baby to expand.

This will give them a feeling of independence and boost their self-esteem as they learn to get in and out of the bed.

A high-quality cot can be converted to an infant bed, which will extend its lifespan and save money in the future on the purchase of a replacement.
