Which Mattress is Best for a Cot Bed?

The best cot mattress is specifically designed for babies and toddlers. The size of the mattress should be the correct size for your baby's cot bed so that it perfectly fits with no gaps. A cot bed mattress should be flat, firm, and fully breathable, and should include an easily removable waterproof cover that can be machine washed to keep it extra clean and in good condition.

Which Size of Mattress Should I Choose for a Cot Bed?

Cot mattresses are normally available in two main sizes:

• Standard Cot size: 2'4" x 4'7" (L 140cm x W 70cm) - Standard UK cot bed mattress size.

• Continental Cot size: 2' x 4' (H 120cm x W 60cm) - ideal for a continental cot bed.

Will a Cot Bed Mattress Fit a Toddler Bed?

Generally, it should fit a toddler bed. However, kindly check the toddler bed dimensions first to ensure that a cot bed mattress size will fit.

What is the Best Type of Mattress for a Baby?

The best mattress for a baby is one that is firm, fits the bed snugly, is breathable, and is hypoallergenic. You can choose from a variety of comfort and support materials, including baby-safe fibre, foam, and pocket sprung options.

Kids Mattresses

There are several important points to remember when choosing the right mattress for your child. Children need quality sleep for their mental and physical development. This is especially important in early childhood when children spend most of their time sleeping! We know children cannot sleep soundly unless they are comfortable, and the right support is crucial too.

Our children's mattresses are perfect for growing children. They are specifically designed with their needs in mind. With fun, colourful designs featured in our collection, they are sure to be a hit. Importantly, they also look every bit as good as they feel!

Choose the right size mattress for your child to ensure ultimate comfort and support. Our collection includes smaller-sized mattresses, such as small single and small double mattresses – perfect for your little one.
