The Right Choice of Filling

The choice of filing for your baby or toddlers mattress has to be one of teh most important considerations when choosing a suitable candidate.

There are basically 4 types of filling available (varies between manufaturers)

Foam: Is usually a specially developed grade of polyurethane foam for nursery products. It should be manufactured without the use of antimony, arsenic or phosphorous.


Springs: Help to promote hygiene, increases air flow and regulation of body temperature.

Coir Fibre: Normally 100% natural filling and environmentally friendly. Manufactured from natural fibres bonded with natural lates (varies between manufacturers). Provides a naturally 'springy' feel but is still resilient, durable and breathable.

Wool: Is a soft luxurious sleeping surface. Look out for the premium range of mattresses which will often include 100% natural wool for superior comfort. Its a material that regulates body temperature and moisture thus creating a healthy sleeping environment.

Mattress Covers

With such a great choice of mattresses on the market its quite easy to overlook the importance of the mattress cover. You should always try to find a removable, machine washable air-permeable cover for the simple reason that they are easy maintenance and create a soft and comfortable sleeping environment for your baby.

Sleeping Tips

The better your baby sleeps the better you'll sleep. A cot or cot bed mattress should be comfortable and supportive. You should like for a mattress that is suitable for the feet-to-foot sleeping position recommended by health professionals and all come with a range of washable covers.
