Product Information

For ways to keep your family living costs down, and kids of all ages happy, get our Family newsletter – it's free monthly The mattresses in travel cots can be thinner and harder than those in regular cots, but this is normal. You shouldn't add any blankets over the top of the mattress to make it more comfortable to sleep on, as this can risk injury or your baby overheating.

Use the mattress that comes with your travel cot, as this is a key component in helping to keep it stable.The cover is pure cotton for breathability and has been treated to protect against bed bugs, dust mites, mosquitos and moths.

Comes with a draw-string, stretch travel bag for easy storage and removable (zipped), white, poly-cotton cover over the memory foam for easy washing. Some travel cot mattresses are designed and constructed to be foldable, which could make transportation and storage easier when not in use. In addition, manufacturers often include handy carry bags for these types. Care Instructions Whichever travel mattress is most suitable for you depends on your needs and travel restrictions, like weight limitations and space. For practical reasons, a lighter, more compact mattress will most likely be more suitable for travel than one that’s heavy and bulkier. Materials It is widely accepted that a firmer mattress is most suitable for infants - a survey✓ including over 3000 paediatricians and family physicians showed that almost all would recommend a firmer sleep surface for infants, most likely due to the risk of SIDS✓ (more on this later).

Firmness

Travel cots are designed to be used with the original mattress, as this helps stability, so don’t be tempted to swap it out.

When, and if possible, travelling during the day and when they are usually awake is always helpful.As with everything, you can spend more or less than this - consider what works for your baby and how you can recreate the sleeping set-up you have at home to ensure a good sleep when you're away on holiday.
