Cots Chat
I have a bad back so asked an expert how important a mattress was to our then new born baby. He said that yes a good mattress is important and more important than the cot. But at this age and up to 5 years (i think) he said that they're so supple that it is not worth worrying toooo much (a little worry was ok). Being paranoid about my daughters back as I have a bad back myself I asked him if I needed to buy a memory foam mattress like my own. He said no - it just wasn't needed. Mybe when they are older but for now a good mattress would suffice. We bought the top of the range Mothercare mattress and are very happy with it. However the mattress are all different sizes and the advice is to make sure it fits the cot to the recommended guide lines so that the gap is kept to a minimum. Indeed ny Mothercare mattress is a little on the small side for my Mothercare cot, so it's worth checking yourself in store with aa tape measure.
