Which Cot Mattress Type is Right for Your Baby?
When choosing a cot mattress, consider what will help your baby sleep comfortably and give them the right support. Here’s what to know about each cot mattress type:
- Airflow Mattress
If keeping the sleep space breathable is high on your list, an airflow mattress is worth considering. A polymer mesh core allows air to move through the mattress, while the removable cover and washable inner core make it easier to keep fresh.
- Foam Sponge Mattress
Foam sponge mattresses are a comfortable, supportive choice for your baby’s cot. Their breathable foam design helps with airflow, while a soft knitted cotton cover can be removed when it’s time for a wash.
- Pocket Spring Mattress
Prefer a little more bounce? Pocket spring mattresses offer responsive support, with each spring working independently as your baby moves. This can help provide gentle, targeted support as they wriggle and settle.
What to Know Before You Buy:
- Give compressed mattresses time to expand
Some cot mattresses are compressed and rolled for transport. After unboxing, allow around 24 hours for the mattress to fully expand and flatten before using it.
- Check the mattress size against your cot
Always check the label on the cot base for its recommended mattress size before buying. This is especially important if you have a compact cot, such as the Boori Natty Compact Cot, as it requires a smaller mattress than the current standard Boori cot size.
- Make sure you have the right bedding, too
Once you’ve confirmed the mattress size, you’ll also need a fitted cot sheet that matches it. If you’re still choosing the cot itself, browsing the baby cots collection can help you find a cot and mattress combination that works together.
How to Keep Your Boori Cot Mattress Fresh
Keep your Boori Cot Mattress fresh by placing a waterproof mattress protector underneath the fitted sheet to help protect it from everyday spills and accidents. When it’s time for a clean, follow the care instructions for your mattress and cover, giving everything plenty of time to dry completely before putting it back in the cot. A little care keeps your baby’s sleep space clean, comfortable and ready for bedtime.
