We consulted both safe sleep experts and real parents to put together this guide to buying the right Moses basket mattress for your baby so you can rest easy while your baby sleeps soundly.It’s recommended that you buy a new Moses basket mattress for each baby, even if you'd only be handing down from your own children. The NCT says, “It might not seem like a big deal to reuse mattresses from your eldest child’s Moses basket or co t, or accept a hand-me-down from a friend. But bear in mind that doing this could mean a small increase in your baby’s risk of SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome). That applies if you’re using one that’s come from outside your house and if you lent it to somebody else in between babies.” The NHS says, “If you're borrowing a crib or a cot, or using one that's been used by another of your children, you should ideally buy a new mattress. If you cannot do this, use the cot mattress you have, as long as it's firm (not soft), flat, fits the cot with no gaps, is clean, dry, waterproof and not ripped or torn.” On cooler nights, simply flip the mattress over, the polypropylene cover on the bottom panel retains heat and keeps your newborn snug and cosy. The high-density polyester internal pad provides superior support and comfort. Parents who’ve bought the mattress say it keeps its shape really well. The coconut and latex makes up the core of the mattress, a layer of temperature-regulating, breathable wool surrounds it, and then a cotton herringbone cover holds it all together. So far so good. However, the main issue consumers have with this mattress is that, green as it is, it’s not waterproof and is sponge-clean only. The Little Green Sheep also recommends that you buy one of its mattress protectors, so the price can start to mount up.
