Features to consider when choosing a mattress for your baby
Baby mattress dimensions
When it comes to choosing a mattress for your baby's cot, dimensions are a crucial factor to consider. It must fit snugly into the crib, leaving no gaps that could pose a suffocation hazard to the baby.
Firmness and weight
The firmness of the mattress is essential to properly support the baby's spine, to allow the baby's skull to develop properly and to prevent the risk of suffocation. The mattress should not be too hard, as this would exert more pressure than necessary, but neither should it be too soft, as this would cause the baby to sink in and make breathing difficult.
Mattress care
Hygiene is essential when it comes to baby's sleeping environment. Look for mattresses with removable, washable covers.
Transpirability
Breathable mattresses allow good air circulation, which helps prevent heat build-up and the proliferation of bacteria, fungi and dust mites.
Baby-friendly materials
Opt for mattresses made from natural, organic materials, free from toxic substances and harmful chemicals that can harm your baby's health. The best natural materials for your baby's mattress are :
-
Latex
Latex offers optimum comfort, ease and support for your baby. It relieves pressure points on the body and provides an enveloping feeling of comfort. Latex mattresses are naturally more breathable, antibacterial, resistant to dust mites and require no chemical treatment.
-
Organic cotton
Organic cotton, used in the manufacture of bed linen and blankets, is in direct contact with the skin. Opting for pesticide-free organic cotton reduces the risk of allergies and skin rashes. It is therefore particularly recommended for babies and young children.
-
Coconut fiber
Coconut fiber is used in mattresses for its air circulation properties, moisture resistance and ability to repel dust mites and bacteria. This allows your baby to breathe and better regulate body temperature.
-
Aloe vera
Aloe vera, found in mattress covers, provides antibacterial and anti-allergic properties that contribute to quality rest, without the need to apply chemicals.
-
TENCEL™
Coconut fiber is used in mattress manufacture for its air circulation properties, moisture resistance and ability to repel dust mites and bacteria. This allows your baby to breathe and better regulate body temperature.
Guarantee and safety when buying a mattress
Make sure the mattress comes with a guarantee of quality and durability, as well as return conditions that give you peace of mind. Oeko-Tex certifications guarantee that the mattress is free from harmful substances, sustainably produced and ecologically safe for babies.
Why choose a natural mattress?
First of all, natural mattresses are free from the chemicals and toxins often found in synthetic mattresses. Babies have delicate skin and are more likely to develop allergies and skin irritations. Natural materials reduce the risk of exposure to harmful substances, which can contribute to more restful sleep and healthier skin for the baby.
What's more, natural mattresses are breathable and regulate temperature more effectively than synthetic mattresses. This is crucial for babies, as it helps them stay cool and comfortable throughout the night, reducing the risk of overheating and facilitating deeper, more restorative sleep.
Natural materials also have anti-microbial and anti-dust mite properties, helping to prevent the build-up of allergens and bacteria in the mattress. This is particularly important for babies, who may spend many hours sleeping in their cribs. A natural mattress guarantees a cleaner, healthier sleeping environment, promoting baby's general well-being.
FAQS - Frequently asked questions about baby mattresses
Which mattress do pediatricians recommend?
The AEP (Spanish Association of Pediatrics) states that a baby's mattress should be firm to prevent sinking, resistant and allow perspiration. It's important that it's the right size for the crib, as a mattress that's too small could leave gaps where the child could trap a leg or arm. It can be made of springs, latex or viscoelastic. We recommend placing the mattress in a zipped cover and using a mattress protector to keep it clean and in good condition.
What's the best type of baby mattress?
There's no such thing as the "best" baby mattress, but there are some features you can look for in mattresses to make them as healthy and comfortable as possible for your child. It's important that they are made from natural materials, without toxic substances or chemicals, and that they are hypoallergenic, antibacterial and anti-mite. In this way, they offer your baby a safe place to sleep.
What type of mattress is healthiest?
Hypoallergenic mattresses are recommended for babies to care for their skin and avoid allergies or sensitivities. It's essential to choose a mattress that contains no harmful chemicals to guarantee your baby's safety.
