Why Choose Mamas & Papas?

Mamas & Papas is a British nursery brand that designs its furniture, toys and prams in-house, so pieces are made to coordinate and adapt as your baby grows. Mamas & Papas cotbeds such as the Harwell, Atlas and Franklin convert from a cot to a toddler bed and are designed for use from birth to around 4 years, while matching dresser changers give you storage and a changing area in one. The Welcome to the World toy range adds playmats, activity toys and soft toys that suit newborns through to the early months of play.

Use-Cases and Compatibility

Mamas & Papas products are designed for different stages, so it helps to think about where your little one is now and what's coming next.

- Setting up the nursery

The Harwell Cot Bed, Atlas Cot Bed and Franklin Cotbed are designed for use from birth to around 4 years. Pair them with the matching Harwell Dresser Changer, Franklin Dresser or Atlas Dresser Changer, and a cotbed-size mattress such as the Essential Spring Cotbed Mattress.

- Keeping baby close in the early months

The Mamas & Papas Lua Bedside Bassinet sits beside your bed for night feeds, and the removable bassinet can be used around the house for daytime naps. Add the Lua Bedside Bassinet Sheets and Lua Mattress Protector to complete the setup.

- Play and tummy time

The Welcome to the World Playmat & Gym, Tummy Time Roll and Spiral Activity Toy support play from the newborn weeks, and the Sit & Play Floor Seat helps once your baby can hold their head up. The Tempo 3-in-1 Rocker/Bouncer is for supervised awake time from newborn to around 6 months, not for sleep.

- Mealtimes and strolling

The Snax Highchair and Juice Highchair suit babies from 6 months. For getting out and about, the Ocarro 2 Pram & Bassinet, Vardo Pram & Carrycot and Strada Pram are suitable from birth.

Looking After Your Mamas & Papas Furniture and Toys

Regular care keeps your nursery furniture and toys in good condition. Always check the care instructions for your specific product.

Wipe furniture clean - Use a damp cloth for everyday marks on cotbeds and dressers, then dry the surface.

Wash toys as directed - Some playmat bases and tummy time toys are machine washable, while hanging toys are wipe clean only, so check the label first.

Check fittings and base heights - Make sure bolts and fittings are secure and the cot base is set to the right height for your baby's stage.

Know when to move on - Stop using the cot once your child can climb out, and move your baby out of the bassinet once they can sit, kneel or pull themselves up.

What to Check Before You Buy:

- Check the mattress size

Mamas & Papas cotbeds take a cotbed-size mattress, such as 140 x 70 x 10cm, which is larger than a standard cot mattress, so choose one that fits snugly with no gaps.

- Measure your nursery

Compare the cotbed and dresser dimensions with your space, leaving room for a nursing chair and easy access around the cot.

- Think about the stages ahead

Look at how long each product can be used, from a bedside bassinet in the early months to a cotbed that converts to a toddler bed.

- Secure furniture to the wall

Always anchor dressers and other tall furniture to the wall to help prevent tipping.
