No second-hand!

If cot can get the baby inherited from the older child, the mattress is not. Here is the first place to stand is not a question of savings a question of hygiene. Perhaps the old mattress is not so bad, but do not forget that to him a few years, during which time he was soaked, it would be a lot of dust and odors that don't get rid of. Why put a newborn baby possible allergenic risks?

besides, your eldest child in the crib not sleeping for he studied first sit and then stand and jump. So, the mattress could lose its orthopedic properties, and then you'll wonder where the baby scoliosis. Better to spend money on a new mattress, than for treatment in the future.

Hard-Staley - soft sleeping baby

Any podiatrist will tell you that a newborn baby should sleep on a hard. Parents, sometimes, I feel sorry for the kid, try to put him a cushion under the flank, but in vain. To the child formed the correct posture, his bed should not SAG. Only after a year of hard mattress can be replaced on a moderately hard, but in no one case not soft.

Orthopedic or not?

characteristics Such as orthopedic - mattress for a child, of course, is the key. There's only a small catch, which not everyone knows: in the state Standards there is no definition of the term “mattress”, and many sellers and manufacturers interpret it differently. Some claim that the orthotic can only be a mattress on independent springs. Others that only latex mattress is orthopaedic. And they're both wrong - mattress can combine various fillers, it can be springless and spring.

spring mattresses

invented To date, only two types of spring mattresses: with dependent spring type Bonnell (bonnell) and with independent springs (called batch-spring, marked as Pocket Springs, TFK or Multipocket). They differ in price (the pocket spring mattress is more expensive) and orthopedic effect. And in those and other types of mattresses to increase the level of rigidity can be used coconut coir, latex and harmless to modern synthetic materials.

Spring block " Bonnel” has minimal orthopedic effect. It all springs are connected along the chain with special brackets. But this is the most economical option. So a tip for those who it stops to select a block of springs of the smallest diameter (standard diameter of about 10 cm). And it would be nice if it will be reinforced on the top and bottom perimeter frame - a steel frame, which will not allow the springs “roam" and the child to slip from the mattress on the floor.

Independent spring block is arranged differently. Each spring (diameter from 2 to 6 cm) placed in a separate fabric cover. The mattress “adjusted” under the baby's body and does not SAG. This ensures that this mattress an excellent orthopedic properties.

whatever springs block was not at the core of the mattress, it is insulated with flooring and fillers. As the flooring is most often used felt and spunbond (SpunBel). The felt is a dense nonwoven textile material of felted wool. SpunBel - artificial, organic fabric, burlap-like properties.

as a filling in spring mattresses are: coir, batting, horsehair, sea grass (seaweed), rice husk and other materials. They give the mattress the necessary rigidity or softness and also affect its orthopedic properties.

Springless mattresses

For popular children's springless mattresses have long been bypassed spring. And this is understandable - when modern technologies allow to obtain a high-quality product without the use of metal springs, that is, without difficulty, the effect of “waves” and electromagnetic waves, it is just such a product will be preferred by those who truly cared about the health of the child during his sleep.

But here another question arises: what is a springless mattress better what kind of filler? The unequivocal answer is no. But there are a number of fillers that are trustworthy and have a good orthopedic effect:

• coir;
• Natural latex in its pure form;
• Memory Foam;
• Hollcon Plus.

One side is good, two is better

Many parents, to understand the rich range of children's mattresses, prefer bilateral mattress. On the one hand it is hard (filled with coconut coir, for example), the other - softer (here the filler can be hollcon, latex and other anatomical materials). This mattress eliminates the need to spend money on two mattresses - hard for the first year of baby's life, more soft and comfortable - after a year.

What is useful to know about the covers?

what first of all should be paid attention when buying baby mattress? On the case. This is the “face” of the mattress, and the buying decision depends on, you liked it or not. Herewith, a colorful child's drawing on the cover is not the most powerful argument. In the end, you're not going to put the baby directly on the mattress without sheets. The sheet will hide the picture on the cover.

Zipper on the perimeter of the cover is a more powerful argument. This is useful when the case can be removed and washed.

And yet most important question - what material is made the case. The most economical options - calico or printed cotton, but they are also the most problematic in terms of care - when washing not only lose the brightness of colors, but the original dimensions, meaning they can't just sit down and fit one back on the mattress.

So it makes sense to spend money on more expensive options - tick, StressFree knitted fabric or bamboo fabric

• Current and long deserved the love and confidence of all manufacturers of mattresses - due to natural (it's made of 100 % cotton yarn), high density and durability;
• StressFree (“anti-stress”) is a surprisingly delicate, velvety to the touch, double-layer fabric. Top layer - 100 % cotton, bottom - porous, breathable hollcon. The properties of this fabric make it perfect for a cover: StressFree has amazing anti-static properties, it does not electrified by friction. And it calms the nervous system and makes the baby sleep calm and deep. What is important: Stressfree fabric even after multiple washings does not lose its antistatic properties;
• Bamboo fabric (BAMBOO) - knitted fabric with bamboo fibers, very soft and silky. And incredibly durable! Bamboo knit will instantly absorb moisture and dries quickly, plus it's natural antistatic. The fabric is on the basis of bamboo fiber has antibacterial effect and absorbs odors. It is an ideal material to protect children from allergic reactions. The mattress, covered with a cloth, ensure a pleasant and healthy sleep.

take measurements

Cribs and mattresses come in three standard sizes:

• 120х60 cm;
• 125х65 cm;
• see 140х70

Before the trip to the store for a mattress be sure to measure the length and width of the crib from the inside. The mattress should ideally be the right size. If he is smaller than you need, you could end up injury (children have a habit of pushing into the gaps of the fingers). If it is too big, you will have problems with mounds and hollows.
