Transitioning your little one into their own bedroom? Or perhaps you’re getting the nursery ready ahead of their arrival.
Discover our guide on choosing your baby’s first mattress, from the top features to consider to maintenance and cleaning tips for greater longevity over your child’s early years.
For your baby’s safety, the best sleeping environment is a separate, flat surface, such as a bedside crib or Moses basket, as advised by The Lullaby Trust. It's recommended that your little one sleeps in the same room as you, both during the day and at night, for at least their first six months.
After this period, many parents choose to transition their baby to their own bedroom, using a cot bed and baby mattress as they outgrow their bedside crib or Moses basket.
What should I look for when choosing a mattress?
When choosing a baby mattress there are some key factors to consider to ensure the safest, most comfortable night’s sleep for your little one.
Look for a mattress that’s firm enough to provide enough support for your baby. The mattress should not indent when your baby lies on it.
Ensure the mattress you choose is the correct fit for your cot bed. All Silver Cross TrueFit™ mattresses measure 140cm x 70cm, fitting securely inside Silver Cross cot beds as well as standard-size cot beds from other brands.
Opt for non-toxic and hypoallergenic materials to ensure the most natural sleep environment. You should also consider the breathability of the mattress. Good airflow will help to regulate your baby’s temperature and reduce the risk of overheating. If the mattress includes a water-resistant lining or a machine washable cover, it will provide greater longevity and easier cleaning when accidents happen.

Before first use we recommend that you air your mattress in a well-ventilated room for 36 hours prior to use. Once aired, the mattress can be securely fit inside your cot bed. All Silver Cross mattresses feature a removable, machine washable cover, with the Reversible Dual-Sided mattress also including a waterproof membrane for added protection against leaks and accidents.
