A good cot bed mattress is one of the most important bits of kit you鈥檒l buy for your baby鈥檚 nursery. Perfect for those very first sleepy snuggles to the lively toddler years. These cot mattresses can help regulate temperature and provide proper support to your nipper鈥檚 growing body.
A proper good night鈥檚 sleep for your little one starts with the right cot bed mattress. Whether you need a firm cot mattress for brand-new newborns or a breathable baby mattress that cleverly helps regulate temperature, this range has been carefully selected for comfort, paramount safety, and unwavering support. Easy to clean, perfectly sized, and built to last. There鈥檚 genuinely something here for every precious sleep stage.
There are two main sizes: 120cm x 60cm (cot size) and 140cm x 70cm (cot bed size). The larger cot bed mattress gives more growing room and typically lasts until your child is around 4 to 5 years old. This saves you a few quid in the long run. Do make sure to double-check the frame and cot bed mattress size before ordering, as a snug fit is absolutely essential for both safety and proper support.
Most baby mattresses come in three main types. Foam mattresses are wonderfully lightweight, firm, and rather budget-friendly. Pocket sprung options provide superb long-term support with individual springs that move perfectly with your little one.
Fibre or natural fill mattresses are beautifully breathable and a top pick for eco-conscious buyers. Need extra comfort? A crib mattress with hypoallergenic covers or dual-firmness (firmer for babies, softer for toddlers) is a brilliant pick.
Do look out for breathable fabrics and ventilation panels. They help your baby stay cool and reduce the risk of overheating. Some models also have wonderfully removable, washable covers (an absolute lifesaver during nappy leaks or those inevitable spit-ups!). If you want lasting support, go for a cot bed mattress with reinforced edges or a clever dual-sided design.
From birth right through toddlerhood, a baby mattress should offer firm, even support to aid those growing bones and reduce any risks. Whether you're buying for your first precious baby or upgrading an old cot, choosing a safe, high-quality mattress is truly one of the most important nursery investments you鈥檒l make.
