Choose the right mattress for a good nights sleep

Choosing the right mattress for your baby can be confusing. You want a mattress that is comfortable but that is also safe and hygenic. Which is the right one for you?

  • Foam mattress - these are made from a specially developed grade of polyurethane foam for nursery products and so provide a safe mattress at low cost
  • Sprung mattress - the springs provide an increased air flow, promote hygiene and regulate body temperature. For older children, the springs aid postural support and encourages natural sleeping positions
  • Coir mattress - these mattresses have 100% natural filling and and ideal for parents concerned about environmental issues. They have a natural 'springy' feel but are still resilient, durable and breathable
  • Wool - some premium mattresses also contain an additional wool filling. This 100% natural fabric offers superior comfort. Vertical bonded fibre technology helps regulate body temperature and moisture by keeping a cool surface in summer and retaining heat in winter.

Samples of all the mattresses we sell can be seen in the shop. All the mattresses comply with BS7177:2008 for Domestic Use (Low Hazard) and BS1877:Part 10 1997.
