Here is what to look for in a cot mattress

Foam
The higher the rating or classification the better the quality and durability.
For example CMHR 35 is a class S foam and therefore a higher grade than CMHR25 which is a class A foam.
Some mattresses are made from lower grades than CMHR25
Foam also comes in different ratings soft med and firm. so you can have a soft foam in a class S rating.
Cot mattresses can come in different thicknesses. generally speaking 7cm mattresses are for occasional use (ie, spare cot at the grand parents)
7cm thickness is often given away with a new cot.
an Ideal foam thickness is 10cm.

NB We have now introduced CHRM50 in the new Excellence pocket Sprung Cot mattress

Covers
These are many and varied some are mesh or PVC or quilted and some are made of fabrics which are breathable and moisture resistant. some covers are removeable and washable. It is advantageous if the cover is breathable as this will help disperse heat build up from the foam. Recent research has shown it is also vital to protect the foam from nasties and hence the breeding of bacteria, look for a cover that is water resistant, wipe clean and machine washable at 60 degrees. an added bonus would be if the cover has a zip on three sides so it can be removed easily.
To ensure that no spillage reaches the core of the mattress through the cover you can either use a waterproof sheet on the top ( reduces the breathability)considerably or use a waterproof slider under the cover. Best to find a slider that is made of NO PVC Material
WE USE SAFETEX
As well as SafeTex being breathable and water resistant it will also prevent a single fibre(even the size of a hair)penetrating from core of the Mattress getting through to Your Baby

 

Springs
A sprung core in the mattress has the advantage of giving added strengh and durability and also helps to disperse heat across the sprung core. Most good quality sprung cores are made of Mini Bonnel springs
A recent introduction for the top quality Mattresses is to use Pocket Springs excelelnt support giving posture control


 Stockinette wrap
Some better quality foam mattresses with removeable covers also have the foam core wrapped in a stockinette wrap this makes the covers so easy to remove as it reduces the "grip" of the foam

Soft feel layer for newborns
 This is a relatively new innovation and brought about because of the new safer way of sleeping babies on their backs. Foam can be made in soft, med or firm feel with the same support.
A soft feel layer is probaly more comfortable for a new baby. than a firm feel mattress, but it is still as supportive. after 6 months there is no benefit to have a soft feel Layer

Anti-allergenic
dust mites
For a mattress to be anti-allergenic and give maximum protection against dust mites the cover needs to be able to be washed at more than 55 degrees centigrade. It should also protect the centre foam core from spillage so nothing can harbour there.

Britsh standards
All foam and materials used in cot mattresses have to comply with the relelvant standards BS1877

Antimony and phosphorus
It was suggested by SIDS that the these chemicals should not be added to the manufacture of foam We would say all foam mattesses sold in the UK would comply with this.
