Looking for the perfect mattress for your baby's cot? Then you've come to the right place!
In this article, we'll take you step-by-step through the process of choosing the best mattress for your baby's cot. At Kadolis, we understand the importance of providing a safe and comfortable sleep for your baby, and we're here to help you make the best decision.
Did you know that your baby spends almost 18 hours a day on his or her mattress in the first few months?
In fact, it's estimated that a baby spends as many hours on a mattress in 2 years as an adult does in 5 or 6 years .
But what should you consider when choosing your baby's first mattress? Firstly, it's important to focus on safety, comfort and the quality of the air your baby breathes. This way, your child will be comfortable in bed and can enjoy peaceful nights with fewer night-time awakenings. They'll benefit fromquality sleep, which will contribute to their physical and psychological development.
At Kadolis, we'd like to guide you through one of the most important moments in preparing for baby's arrival: choosing your first mattress.
Characteristics to remember when choosing the best mattress for your baby
Baby mattress dimensions
A baby's mattress must fit perfectly into the bed, without leaving any gaps that could trap the baby. Choose a mattress that fits snugly around the edges of the bed.
Thickness of baby mattress
We recommend that the mattress is between 10 and 13 cm thick. This thickness is sufficient for the weight of the baby. When choosing a mattress, it is therefore more important to focus on the quality of the materials than on the thickness.
Materials used to make the mattress
Look for mattresses made from natural and organic materials to ensure breathability and avoid exposure to harmful chemicals. The best materials for baby mattresses are :
Latex mattresses
The latex mattress provides optimum comfort and support for your child. It avoids pressure points on the body and offers enveloping comfort. A latex mattress is naturally more breathable, anti-bacterial and anti-mite, and requires no chemical treatment.
Coconut fibre mattresses
Coconut fibre is used in the manufacture of mattresses for its air circulation, anti-humidity, anti-dust mite and anti-bacterial properties. The coconut fibre mattress allows your baby to breathe and regulates body temperature better.
Mattress with TENCEL™ Lyocell
Breathability
The ability of the mattress to let air through is essential for maintaining optimum temperature and preventing moisture build-up. Look for mattresses made from breathable materials that help regulate your baby's body temperature.
Durability
A durable mattress will stand the test of time and multiple uses. Consider the quality of the materials and the manufacturer's warranty when making your purchase decision.
Density and firmness
What's the best mattress for a baby, a hard mattress or a soft mattress? A firm mattress provides adequate support for your baby's growing body and reduces the risk of suffocation. avoid mattresses that are too soft, which can sink in and make breathing difficult. What's more, firmness helps to distribute your baby's weight evenly and avoid the risk of skull deformities.paediatricians recommend that babies sleep on a medium to hard density mattress, i.e. between 20 and 22 kg/m³ for foam mattresses. In other words, neither too hard nor too soft, but firm enough to keep your baby safe.
- A mattress with a density of less than 20 kg/m³ is too soft and could be dangerous for your baby.
- If they have a density greater than 22 kg/m³, they are too firm and uncomfortable for babies.
All Kadolis baby mattresses have a density that meets the needs and safety of babies.
| Type of mattress | Thickness | Density |
| Aloe R | 11 cm thick | 25 kg/m³ density |
| Cocolegend | 12 cm thick | Coconut fibre 48 kg/m³ + Natural latex: 90 kg/m³(*) |
| Chanvrenatura | 12 cm | Natural latex: 90 kg/m³ - Coconut fibre: 48 kg/m³ - Hemp fibre (density 70kg/m3), equivalent to a foam density of 21 kg/m³ (*) |
(*)The density of natural materials such as coconut fibre, natural latex and hemp is calculated differently from that of polyurethane foam.
Safety certificate
This verifies that the mattress complies with the safety standards set by recognised bodies. Certifications such as Oeko-Tex Standard 100 guarantee that the mattress is free from harmful substances, that its production is sustainable and that it is ecologically safe for people.
Did you know that all Kadolis mattresses are certified OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 Standard 100 ?
-> They are safe for your health and for the planet.
Choosing a safe mattress for your baby
First of all, check that your baby's future mattress complies with Decree 2000-164 of 23 February 2000 on the safety of certain bedding items. This decree guarantees mattress hygiene and aims to protect people against certain fire risks.
All Kadolis baby mattresses comply with this decree.
It should also be noted that the mattress must be perfectly adapted to the dimensions of the bed:
- There must be no gap between the mattress and the bars of the bed. Don't forget that it would be dangerous to fill a gap with a rolled-up towel or duvet.
- Look for the right thickness: a baby mattress should be between 10 and 13 cm thick. Anything thicker won't provide any extra comfort either.
A healthy mattress for your baby
To give your child a good night's sleep, while taking care of their health, well-being and the environment, the best choice is a mattress made from natural materials.
But why?
Mainly because they contain no petroleum derivatives and are gentler on the skin. Our mattresses made from natural materials are guaranteed not to contain any chemical treatments or toxic solvents, which considerably reduces the risk of allergic reactions.
