A healthy mattress for your baby

The baby mattress is an item that we take time to choose carefully as it will accompany little ones during their sleep. But it's also important to know how to maintain it to avoid dust accumulation, stains, and bad odours. So, how do you choose a baby mattress properly? What are the tips for maintaining a mattress correctly? How do you furnish your baby's room? Here's all our advice!

Choosing the right baby mattress

The mattress is an essential item to choose carefully. Indeed, this is where baby will be placed for nights and naps that are so precious to their development. It is therefore crucial to choose a mattress with support adapted to baby's growth, but also made with materials that will preserve their well-being. Thus, there are several criteria to consider when choosing a baby mattress.

Dimensions

The mattress dimensions must be adapted to the bed you have chosen. If you have decided to opt for a 60x120 cm baby bed, then these are the dimensions you will need to choose. If you have opted for a combined baby bed 70x140 cm, the mattress will need to have these same dimensions. These are usually the two possibilities available to you for a baby mattress as they are standard dimensions.

Materials

Baby mattresses can be made from different materials depending on brands and models. Some are of better quality than others and allow for more natural products. At Nateo, we offer baby mattresses made from bamboo or organic cotton. Natural, these materials allow you to make a more responsible choice.

Labels

To ensure the quality and safety of a mattress, you can also look at its origin or the label it has been awarded. For a baby mattress or any other type of item, made in France is often a mark of quality. The Oeko-Tex Standard 100 or Certipur label furthermore guarantee a lower environmental impact and the use of treatment processes that respect the well-being of little ones. The presence of labels can therefore be very interesting and reassuring for parents who want to see things more clearly.

Protect your new mattress

First of all, we recommend using a mattress protector. This will protect the baby's mattress from minor accidents. You will also find it much easier to clean a mattress protector than an entire mattress.

Vacuum the dust

To prevent dust from accumulating, you can beat your mattress outdoors and use a vacuum cleaner to remove as much dust as possible.

Turn the mattress

Remember to turn the mattress regularly to prevent it from becoming misshapen over time. If you have chosen a model with summer and winter sides, remember to check the label.

What to do in case of bed-wetting?

For stains caused by bed-wetting, you can use hot water and white vinegar. This will help remove the stain and any unpleasant odours. Some professional services also offer deep cleaning for household textiles. However, make sure to check the methods and products used to ensure they won't affect your child's well-being.

Wash bedding regularly

To keep the baby mattress clean over time, it's also important to wash the bedding regularly. Make sure baby has clean sheets for comfort and to protect the mattress.

Furnishing the baby's room

Beyond the baby mattress, you'll also need to choose furniture for the room. First, it's important to choose the bed. There are several options such as:

  • The cot bed: This is the bed your baby will occupy from 6 months to about 2 years of age. The choice of baby mattress will therefore be particularly important here.
  • The convertible baby bed: The baby bed is convertible and can accompany your child from crib to teenage years. It transforms as your child grows to become a cot bed, children's bed, etc.
  • The combined baby bed: This all-in-one baby bed combines both a bed that can be convertible and storage elements. The combined baby bed is perfect for real space saving and avoiding multiple purchases. A combined baby bed can also be convertible.
  • The twin baby bed: For parents expecting two children at the same time, the twin baby bed is a combined cot designed for two babies. Our WILLOW twin baby bed is the perfect example.

If you opt for a combined baby bed or similar, you can then choose additional storage furniture such as a chest of drawers or wardrobe. A duo baby room is a great way to opt for a baby bed with a 3-drawer chest. You can add a removable changing top if you wish (more information on this topic here).
