Infants need the right mattress
07/04/2011
Choosing any item for an infant needs careful consideration, but the quality and firmness of the mattress they will sleep on is highly important.
Selecting the wrong mattress can have considerable implications, so taking the time to assess the quality of products available will pay dividends.
Measuring the size of the cot is one top tip from experts and they recommend that the mattress should have a snug fit with no gaps around the edges, which could pose a safety risk.
Getting a mattress at the right height is likewise essential, as the child will no doubt attempt climbing out of their bed as they get older and this temptation needs to be removed.
There are various different types of mattress material on the market, so it may also be worthwhile to carry out some research on which is likely to be best for the baby's needs.
