may already have bought your cot bed and are now looking for a suitable
COT bed mattress.
So below is a guide to some of Cot
bed mattress on offer The first thing to point out is that health specialist advice that you should get a new mattress for every child. No matter how well the mattress has been looked after, there is still the risk of passing on bacteria to the new baby. The condition of the mattress will also be worse as it will have had a child already sleeping on it for a number of years. So with this in mind what choice of cot bed mattress do you have? Foam Mattresses These tend to be the cheapest option and are suitable for both babies and toddlers providing your child with firm support and comfort. The thickness of the mattress can vary, the thicker the mattress, generally the better the quality. The better foam mattresses allow the air to circulate around the babies head as a result of air vents around this section of the mattress, others have a breathable cover to prevent the baby overheating. Even though they are more expensive, they are well worth consideration. The disadvantages of this type of mattress are its durability as it will mould itself to the child’s shape; this could be acceptable for an adult however not for a baby which is constantly growing. Also they don’t tend to be very breathable when compared with other types you can buy Sprung Mattresses There are two types on offer Open Sprung
This is the most
widely used spring type for a mattress, and up until
recent years was seen as the principal choice. The robust coiled or
continuous spring system is specifically designed to distribute the
body weight evenly. The mattress is made up of row upon row of open
springs linked together with a spiral wire ensuring that the mattress
is able to keep its shape.
The springs will usually be covered with a layer of foam and soft cotton fabric. One side of the mattress is usually covered in a wipe clean plastic covering with the second being of cotton fibre. Pocket Sprung
This Cot bed mattress is
of better quality as the springs are wrapped
individually in fabric pockets and work independently from one another.
The mattress is more expensive than the standard sprung mattress but
does provide extra comfort
The main advantage of the sprung mattress is that it’s a lot more durable than the foam and the space between the springs generally leads to better ventilation. The main disadvantage is that they cost more than foam mattresses and in the case of pocket sprung, quite a bit more Natural Fibre Mattresses This Cot bed mattress consists of an interior made entirely from natural fibres such as coconut and horse tail. These types of mattress provide long last supporting and are breathable. They offer excellent comfort and are long lasting as they hold their shape. However, price wise they do tend to be more expensive than both the foam and spring mattresses, however, if you are worried about your child sleeping on synthetic material, they do provide an excellent alternative. I hope this has been useful in showing you what type of Cot bed mattress you can buy and the advantages and disadvantages of each |
