9 best mattresses for newborns

Infants spend almost all their time in a crib. Calm and deep sleep in toddlers should be about 18 hours a day. Do not forget that in the first months of life the formation of the spine occurs, which means that a correctly mattress should not only give comfort, but also provide the necessary support to prevent future health problems.

Twenty years ago, parents did not need to think about the choice, because in the shops there were only mattresses on the batting. To date, the situation has changed dramatically, and now the choice is huge. True, parents do not always pay due attention to finding a suitable mattress, agreeing on the first option proposed by the consultant. This approach is completely wrong.

Modern mattresses for newborns have all the necessary characteristics in order not only to ensure a peaceful rest for the baby, but also to promote the correct formation of the musculoskeletal system. A wide range of mattresses for newborns makes it possible to find the best option for any wallet.

Expertex expert.bigbadmole.com/en/ conducted a thorough analysis of the market, studied the user reviews and opinions of pediatricians, making a rating, which included 9 best mattresses for newborns.

How to choose a mattress for a newborn

1. The size. The mattress for a newborn child should correspond to the length and width of the bed so that there are no voids along the perimeter and the product does not move, creating discomfort. If the mattress is larger than the niche of the bed, then this will lead to deformation and loss of properties, which is unacceptable. Mattresses for newborns 120 x 60 cm are considered to be standard. Note that most modern cots have the same size, so there will be no problems with the selection. If you plan to use an old bed, for example, a gift from someone from relatives, then before you go to the store for a mattress, be sure to measure it.
2. Rigidity. One of the defining selection criteria. It is on the degree of stiffness of the sleeping surface that the correct formation of the musculoskeletal system of the newborn depends. Do not forget that up to three years old baby needs hard mattresses. It is inexpedient to buy orthopedic models, since the baby has not yet had curves of the spine. Mattress for newborn babies should not be thrashed under the weight and follow the contours of the body. The consequence of an incorrectly chosen model can be a strong curvature of the posture. Pediatricians insist that for children of the first years of life it is necessary to acquire hard or moderately hard mattresses.
3. Filler. Give preference to environmentally friendly, hypoallergenic, preferably natural fillers. Inner material should be well ventilated and not emit toxic fumes. In the shops you can find mattresses with coconut fiber, artificial or natural latex, polyurethane foam, seaweed, horsehair, batting. The best and most popular products are with coconut coir, sometimes supplemented with foam latex. Mattresses with such a filler have optimum rigidity, moisture resistance, elasticity.Koyra is not subject to rotting, as it creates the right microclimate: it will not be cold in winter and hot in summer. Models with horsehair or algae are less popular, as not everyone will do. In some of these materials are able to provoke an allergic reaction. They are also unstable to moisture, perish and deform. In no case can not buy a wadded mattress, as over time, dust accumulates inside it and various parasites causing rhinitis, bronchitis, asthma and other diseases of the respiratory system are diluted.
4. The material of the cover. Stop picking on coarse calico or jacquard. These materials are characterized by sufficient strength, hypoallergenic, as well as breathable and pleasant to the skin. It is better if the mattress for a newborn baby has two covers: the inner and outer removable. Do not forget to buy a mattress to protect the product from the accumulation of dust and leaks.
