The mattress should also be firm to offer the baby the required support. However, do not buy a tough cot mattress that will discomfort the baby. A healthy baby sleeps for approximately sixteen hours and therefore you ought to have the best cot mattress.

Types

Baby cot mattresses are availed in three different types. There is the fiber, foam and internal springs makes. A baby cot mattress made of foam is cheaper in price but you must ensure its density is adequate enough to [provide the right support to the baby. For the internal springs make, there is a cloth on the lower side and the top surface to sleep on. The upper surface is easy to clean incase the mattress becomes dirty. On the other hand, fiber mattresses are said to be better than the internal springs type. It is also very easy to clean especially for babies with dust allergies who require regular mattress cleanup.

It is recommended to buy a baby cot mattress in a store rather than online. This way, it will be easier to determine the best mattress for your baby. The softness of the mattress is crucial since you need to strike a balance between support and comfort. A mattress that is too soft may cause suffocation of the baby while a tough one will be uncomfortable. We also offer a range of baby car seats.
