Which Cot Mattress Should I Choose?

Choosing a cot mattress can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t need to be.

Your baby will spend a large part of their early life sleeping, so the most important thing is choosing a mattress that is firm, supportive, breathable, and the correct size for your cot.

At Babyhood, our mattresses are designed to meet these needs, with two main options depending on your preference.

What matters most when choosing a cot mattress?

Firmness

A firm mattress is essential for safe sleep and is recommended by safety standards.

Breathability

A breathable mattress helps regulate temperature and keeps your baby comfortable.

Hygiene

Look for materials that are easy to clean and resistant to allergens and moisture.

The RIGHT SIZE (this is critical)

Your mattress must fit your cot correctly. There should be no gaps between the mattress and cot sides

Gaps can pose a safety risk, so always use the recommended mattress size for your cot.
