Choosing the Right Cot Mattress

When shopping for a cot mattress, consider:

• Cot or crib internal dimensions
• Mattress length, width and depth
• Firmness
• Flat and supportive construction
• Mattress fit
• Cover material
• Breathability
• Ease of cleaning
• Removable or washable covers
• Manufacturer age and usage recommendations

Always measure the cot carefully and choose a mattress designed to fit securely without significant gaps around the edges.

Firm & Flat Mattresses for Babies

For infant sleep, a cot mattress should provide a firm, flat and stable sleeping surface. A mattress that is excessively soft or that allows the baby to sink deeply into the surface may not be appropriate for young babies.

Avoid adding soft mattress toppers, extra padding or other materials unless specifically recommended by the cot and mattress manufacturer.

Choosing the Correct Mattress Size

Cot and crib sizes can vary, so mattress compatibility should be checked carefully before purchasing. Measure the internal sleeping area of the cot and compare it with the mattress specifications.

A correctly fitted mattress should sit securely within the cot without large gaps where a baby could become trapped.

Waterproof & Easy-Care Cot Mattresses

Babies can create spills and leaks, so easy-clean mattresses can make everyday nursery care more manageable. Some models may feature waterproof surfaces or removable covers that can be cleaned separately.

A compatible mattress protector may also help protect the mattress, provided it fits securely and does not alter the firmness or flatness of the sleeping surface.

Caring for a Cot Mattress

Follow the manufacturer’s cleaning and care instructions to help maintain the mattress. Allow cleaned areas or removable covers to dry completely before putting the mattress back into use.

Regularly inspect the mattress for sagging, damage, deterioration or changes in firmness, particularly when it is being reused for another child.

Creating a Safer Cot Sleep Space

Use the cot mattress with a securely fitted sheet and keep an infant’s sleeping area simple. Follow current safe-sleep guidance and avoid loose pillows, cot bumpers, bulky blankets, toys and unnecessary accessories inside the cot.

Always follow the cot and mattress manufacturer’s instructions regarding compatibility, positioning and usage limits.
