Baby mattress

Why choose a baby mattress?

Discovering and exploring the world for the first time is tiring. And that's what your baby experiences every day. No wonder they spend a good portion of their days and nights sleeping: their brain needs time to process all the stimuli their eyes register to develop properly. Indeed, an infant spends 15 to 20 hours of their daily time sleeping. It is therefore essential that the mattress that welcomes them is of excellent quality to guarantee comfort and safety during their naps.

What are the standard sizes of a baby mattress?

To choose the dimensions of your baby's mattress, you should refer to the size of the baby bed, cradle or bassinet that you have purchased for your child. At Vente-unique, we offer different sizes of baby mattresses, ranging from standard sizes 60x120 cm and 70x140 cm to 90x200 cm mattresses.

Firm or soft: how should the mattress on which baby sleeps be?

The firmness of your baby's mattress is one of the most important criteria to consider when purchasing your baby's mattress, due to their physiology. Indeed, your infant's muscles are not fully developed, especially those in their neck, which are still unable to support your child's head. This is why you must always support your newborn's head. The mattress must also be able to support your baby's head without deforming, which is why it is advisable to choose a firm mattress.

A firm baby mattress will be all the more important when your child becomes more mobile in their sleep and is able to roll onto their stomach: it will prevent your child's face from sinking into the bedding and ensure they can continue to breathe freely.

What thickness and density for a baby mattress?

The thickness of a mattress is not the most important criterion to consider when purchasing your baby's mattress; nevertheless, favor a height of more than 10 cm. What really matters in choosing your infant's mattress is the density of the bedding. As explained above, the mattress should be firm, which means that the density of its padding should be relatively high. It should be between 20 and 30 kg/m3.

What is the best mattress to choose for a baby's bed?

Another essential characteristic to consider when looking for a mattress for your little one is the filling and more specifically the material it consists of. It is recommended to opt for mattresses made of natural fibers free from any chemical substances, such as wool, coconut fibers, or natural latex. Besides being hypoallergenic and anti-dust mite materials, these fibers are insulating and thermoregulating. They also ensure good ventilation of your baby's mattress and help maintain good hygiene.

To help maintain the cleanliness of your baby's bed, which can sometimes be compromised by overfilled diapers, opt for mattresses with removable covers that are machine washable.

Because baby's comfort and sleep should not be compromised during your vacations, make sure to get a travel mattress: thinner than a classic baby mattress, it still provides your little one with the support they need during their naps. Foldable, you can easily take it everywhere with you.
