A Good Night's Sleep: Mattress Shopping for Baby

For the first two years of their life, your baby will sleep for around 13 months - that's a whole lot of sleep! But whilst it looks like your little one is snoozing soundly away, their cognitive skills and nervous system are actually working extra hard to grow and develop. So, it goes without saying that getting a good night’s sleep is essential - especially as it gives you a chance to catch up on some much-needed rest, too.

A good night's sleep starts with a good quality cot mattress. So, once your nursery furniture is in place, we’re here to help you find the right one for baby.

We’ve got a range of supportive baby mattresses, all tested to the highest U.K. standards. From our luxury organic mattress that’s chemical and allergen-free, to our comfy premium spring, our cot and cot bed mattresses are packed with features that’ll have your baby sleeping well from day one – so you can grab those forty winks, too.

What’s the difference between a Cotbed Mattress & a Cot Mattress?

We have a range of cot, cotbed and Moses basket mattresses featuring premium fabrics and a Purotex treatment. They all include anti-allergy and temperature regulating treatments to keep baby dry and comfortable. Plus they have removable covers, which make them easy to keep clean. Here’s a simple size guide to help -

Cot Mattresses - L120 x W60 x D10cm

Cotbed Mattresses - L140 x W70 x D10cm

Small Moses Basket Mattress - L67 x W30 x D3.5cm

Large Moses Basket Mattress - L74 x W28 x D3.5cm

Mattress Covers

Removable and washable covers are a great way to ensure your mattress stays clean. That's why we also sell them separately because little ones can't help having little accidents at night.
