Your Go-To Guide for Buying the Best Baby Mattress
Reading Time: 10 Minutes
We have a wide range of mattresses available to suit different needs and budgets. Here, we'll talk you through all the premium features we offer as standard, as well as explaining the difference between our mattress types.
As a soon-to-be or new parent, you're undoubtedly focused on creating a safe and comfortable environment for your little one, and a key part of that is their sleep space. Your baby’s mattress might not be something you’ve thought much about until now, but it’s one of the most important purchases you'll make. After all, babies sleep for around 13 months during the first two years of their life, and that sleep is essential for their physical and mental development.
A safe, supportive and comfy mattress is key to a good night’s sleep for your baby, but with so many options, choosing the right one can feel overwhelming. That’s why we’ve created this handy guide to help you find the perfect fit from our Mamas & Papas range with ease.
There are a few mattress types to consider, each suited to a different type of sleep space. We offer the below sizes across our range of mattresses:
This size is available across our essential and premium mattress ranges.
Our cot mattresses are designed to fit our convertible cots. Ideal for smaller rooms, this space-saving cot is more compact than our regular cotbeds, yet still easily converts into a toddler bed, providing comfy sleeping right up to around 4 years old.
This size is available across all mattress ranges.
Our cotbed mattresses are made specifically to fit our range of cotbeds. Spacious and adaptable, our cotbeds are designed to grow with your little one—easily converting into a toddler bed that keeps them comfortable until around 4 years old, so there’s no need to upgrade as they grow.
This size is only available in our essential mattress range.
Our petite cot mattresses fit our petite cots. Perfect for keeping baby close at night, this compact cot design fits neatly by your bed and has two base heights to adapt as your baby grows - ideal for smaller spaces and early stages.
We also have a range of bedside crib mattresses, including for Moses baskets, featuring Mamas & Papas quality features.
