Choosing a quality cot mattress is essential to ensure your child gets the best night's sleep. The best mattresses for cots are made with natural fibres such as cotton, wool or organic latex.

Sturdy Construction
There are many things to think about when preparing for the arrival of your baby infant. There are a lot of choices and choices to make from the nursery to food and clothing plans. But one of the most important things to consider is the mattress of the cot.
Cot mattresses should be sturdy enough to hold the tiny infants and toddlers. They should also be flexible in response to pressure, movement and turning. Cheap foam and sprung mattresses tend to deform quickly and are not as flexible as a pocket spring, or latex coated coir mattress which will last longer and be more gentle on your baby's spine.
It is important that you examine the mattress's height prior to choosing a wooden and white cot bed. This will allow your baby to develop.
