How to choose the right mattress for your baby
Never use the mattress of your older child or a mattress you borrowed from a friend or a relative. A used mattress can harm your baby’s health. According to research, a used mattress in several cases is held responsible for the sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).
A company that specializes in mattress manufacturing knows better how to meet the specific needs of each age. Choosing such a company will provide you with the certainty of providing to your baby the best possible mattress in respect of hygiene, orthopedic support and comfort.
The right mattress should imprint and follow the natural curves of your baby’s body without exercising any kind of opposite pressure.
The right mattress support follows the natural position of the spinal cord, offering your baby a restful sleep.
The right mattress should offer a restful and relaxing feel by snuggling the natural body curves of your baby.
All mattress raw materials should be ecologic and friendly to your baby’s sensitive skin. Avoid materials that do not “breathe”. Pay great attention to the ticking of the mattress. It must be anti-allergenic and anti-acaria® so that your baby rests protected from allergies and respiratory problems.
In case there is a gap between the crib and the mattress that exceeds 4 cm in width, your baby is at risk of injury. Make sure that the mattress fits perfectly the crib, even if this makes changing of sheets harder. Your baby’s safety comes first!
Never overheat your baby’s room. High temperatures might cause discomfort to the infant. Put your baby to sleep on its back or on its side and never cover it with extremely fluffy materials since the risk of entrapment is extremely common. Avoid using a pillow!
