A cot is a type of small bed that may be for camping, guests, or for infants, as in a crib. Just like any other mattress, a cot mattress occasionally needs to be replaced. Depending on your needs, you may want a new mattress for your existing cot or crib, you may need both the frame and the mattress, or you may need just the mattress to use in lieu of an air mattress for sleepovers, travelling, or just to have an extra mattress on hand for last-minute guests. Which type of mattress you need depends on a number of factors. In situations like camping, when a permanent bed is not feasible, a cot provides a temporary and portable place to sleep.
There are many different types of camp mattresses to suit different preferences and different situations. For example, you may need a lighter mattress if you are backpacking or you may need a thicker mattress if you don't sleep well on a thinner pad. Many of these options can be placed either directly on the ground or on a cot for added comfort and protection. Also remember extra items you may need for camping like a pillow, neck roll, a flashlight, eyeshades, and earplugs. Whether you need accommodations for children's sleepovers or adult overnight guests, it is nice to have a comfortable cot to offer. Not everyone has an extra room to set aside for guests; a cot provides a nice sleeping area so that your guests avoid the expense of a hotel, while enjoying the comforts of home. You want a cot mattress for guests to be large, clean, and comfortable for a peaceful night's sleep. A nice cot with a soft mattress is a welcome alternative to a hotel room or a lumpy couch. An air mattress is a great option for your guests because it is soft, easily inflatable, and can be placed on a cot for added comfort.
These come in many different thicknesses; a thinner one about two inches thick can be stored easily, inflated quickly, and fits right on top of most cots. Or you may have a "transformer" type bed or an ottoman that folds into thirds and hides under an attractive cover, doubling as an ottoman, extra seat, or coffee table; these require specially designed mattress that fit the frame and fold easily. A day bed mattress also makes a nice sleeping nook for a guest and doubles as a sofa. Cribs, also known as cots, require special types of mattresses for the safety and comfort of an infant. These types of cot mattresses typically come in a standard size of 52 by 27 inches and about six inches thick. A crib mattress may be made of polyester, polyether foam, or it may have innersprings of coiled steel. The steel coiled is covered by foam or cotton. Either type of mattress has a waterproof cover. Just like adult mattresses, both types of crib mattresses come in different densities, making them firmer or softer.
When choosing a crib or cot mattress, one of the most important factors is fit. Even though most of these mattresses are the same standard size, crib sizes may vary; especially older cribs so make sure there is no extra space between the crib and mattress since a snug fit is vital for your baby's safety. You can buy waterproof mattress protectors to further extend the life of the mattress and crib sheets sets that fit perfectly and look great. They are easy to find. Like all mattresses, cot mattresses come in a variety of materials and the type you choose depends on your individual needs and preferences. These can be vinyl air mattresses or they can be memory foam pads. Some cot mattresses have springs inside just like permanent mattresses; they can be covered with cotton, polyester, or other types of foam or padding. More and more, people are choosing products that keep them and their homes free of unnecessary chemicals and synthetics. An organic cot mattress is made of natural materials like organic cotton, wool, or latex.
Some people prefer the added security of flame retardant mattresses and others prefer to avoid harsh chemicals whenever possible. If you decide on an organic cot mattress, there are plenty to choose from, as mattress manufacturers are increasingly taking note of this trend and producing more organic options. Cot mattresses make great beds for large dogs. As many dog owners know, it can be hard to find a dog bed that is large enough, especially for two or more very large dogs. A cot or crib mattress is easily covered and cleaned, providing plenty of room for your pets to get a good night's sleep. No matter what type of cot mattress you buy or what your intended uses for it are, you want to keep it clean. If your mattress has a waterproof cover, then cleaning is a simple matter of spraying and wiping with a safe mild cleaner, drying well. If you mattresses have a cloth cover, cleaning is a little more involved. Strip off the bedding and dust the mattress with baking soda, letting this sit on the mattress for at least an hour to absorb moisture and odor, and vacuum well using a vacuum cleaner with an upholstery attachment.
Regardless of which type of mattress you have, the bedding should be washed regularly in hot water to keep it clean and free of dust mites and other allergens.
