Cot Mattress Protectors and Underlays

Let’s be honest, your baby's mattress is going to be put through its paces as they grow and change. Because babies need so much sleep, it is understandable that they will have toileting accidents in their cots along the way. The best way to ensure that your baby’s mattress stays in a good condition is by using an effective mattress protector.

An underlay or mattress protector made from natural or high-quality synthetic materials can extend the length and quality of your mattress while also protecting it from:

dust mites

stains caused by nappy accidents

bacteria

fungi

mould

mildew

A high-quality mattress protector or underlay can also assist with temperature regulation. As babies don't regulate heat as effectively as an adult or older children, a good mattress underlay can help them stay at an optimal temperature while they sleep. A quality mattress underlay should provide extra comfort for your baby, increase the breathability of the mattress and provide ventilation.

When choosing an underlay or mattress protector, you need to consider the size and the materials the product is made with. Natural bamboo and quilt mattress protectors work well for warm weather climates and let your baby sleep cooly during the night. High-quality lambswool underlays are highly breathable and help keep your baby warmer in cold weather and cool in hot weather.

Note: loose or ill-fitting mattress underlays are not recommended for babies under 8 months old as they can increase the risk of asphyxiation and SIDS if the baby rolls onto their tummy during sleep. If using a mattress protector or underlay, it needs to be firmly fitted to the mattress, so make sure to measure the cot mattress before purchasing.
