It is important to choose a mattress that is suitable for your child in order to ensure they get the best possible sleep. The best mattresses for cots are made from natural fibres such as cotton, wool or organic latex and should be breathable to stop your child from overheating.

By removing the side rails from the cot bed, you can easily convert it into an infant's bed. This will give your child the independence to move up and down from their bed independently.

Cots For Tots There are plenty of things to think about in preparing for the arrival of your new infant. From the nursery to clothes and feeding regimes, there are endless options and decisions to be made. The mattress for the cot is one of the most important. Mattresses for cots must be sturdy enough to hold the tiny infants and babies. They also need to be progressive in response to pressure, movement and turning. Cheap foam and spring mattresses deform easily and are less responsive than a latex-coated coir or pocket spring mattress. These mattresses last longer and are better for your baby's spine. When choosing a wood and white cot bed, it's crucial to ensure whether the mattress has an adjustable height base to accommodate your baby's growing. This is a safety feature that will allow you encourage your child to climb up and down independently. This will also provide them with a sense of independence and boost confidence in themselves as they begin to learn to master the art of getting in and out of bed.
