How to Choose the Right Cot Mattress for Your Child
Choosing the right mattress for a cot is crucial for your child's comfort and safety. Here are some practical tips to help you make an informed decision:
Consider the Mattress Size
Ensure the mattress fits snugly in the cot with no gaps around the edges. A well-fitting mattress prevents your child from getting trapped between the mattress and the cot sides, reducing the risk of injury. Measure your cot and choose a mattress that matches those dimensions perfectly.
Prioritise Firmness
A firm mattress is essential for your child’s safety and development. Soft mattresses can pose risks, so opt for one that provides firm support to ensure your child’s spine and bones develop correctly.
Check for Breathability
Opt for a mattress with breathable materials to enhance airflow and regulate your baby’s body temperature. This helps to prevent overheating, which can disturb their sleep and pose a safety risk. Look for features like ventilated cores or breathable covers.
Ensure Hypoallergenic Materials
Choose a mattress made from hypoallergenic materials to protect your child from allergens such as dust mites, mould, and pet dander. This is especially important if your child has sensitive skin or a history of allergies.
Look for Waterproof and Washable Covers
Accidents are inevitable, so having a mattress with a waterproof and washable cover can make maintenance much easier. These covers protect the mattress from spills and stains, keeping it hygienic and prolonging its lifespan.
Research Safety Standards
Ensure the mattress meets the required safety standards. Look for certifications such as the British Standard for safety of domestic mattresses (BS 7177) or other relevant safety marks. This ensures the mattress has been tested for safety and quality.
Consider Longevity
A cot mattress that can grow with your child offers better value. Some mattresses have dual firmness, with a firmer side for infants and a slightly softer side for toddlers. This can extend the mattress's usability, making it a worthwhile investment.

FAQs on Cot Mattresses
What is the best type of mattress for a cot?
The best mattress for a cot is one that offers firm support, is made of breathable materials, and fits snugly in the cot bed without gaps.
How firm should a cot mattress be?
The cot mattress should be firm enough to support your child's growing bones and prevent the risk of suffocation. A firm mattress is crucial for safety and proper development.
Are foam or spring mattresses better for babies and young toddlers?
Both can be suitable, but it depends on the quality and specific design. Foam mattresses are lightweight and good for support, while spring mattresses offer more durability and air flow.
