You can choose foam, spring interior, natural fibre, special anti-allergy models, or a combination of these. SIDS and Kids recommend:A mattress is firm and clean and is the right size for the cotThere is no more than a 25mm gap between the mattress and cot sides and endsRemoving the plastic packaging before you start using your mattressMaking sure that waterproof mattress protectors are a strong tight fit.
Foam mattressesFoam mattresses are generally the cheapest available. They often have a PVC cover, which is easy to keep clean. Choose a mattress which is at least 8-10cm thick, to help support your baby while she sleeps. Some foam mattresses have ventilation holes but these aren't necessary. ProsLightweight.Cheap.ConsPVC cover might make your baby feel a bit clammy in hot weather.Spring interior mattressesThese mattresses are made of coiled springs covered with a layer of foam. On top of that, one side of the mattress is sometimes covered in cotton fabric and the other in wipe-clean plastic. Parents' tip: If you're concerned that your baby is getting overheated when sleeping on the plastic side of the mattress, lie it cotton side upwards instead. ProsSome parents like giving their baby a traditional sprung mattress.Some sprung mattresses may be more comfortable than foam.ConsMore expensive than a foam mattress.Natural fibre mattressesThe interior of a natural fibre mattress is usually coconut fibre coated in latex, which is waterproof.
