Cot Mattresses

Cot mattresses typically come in standard sizes, such as 60cm x 120cm or 70cm x 140cm. UK and EU standard sizes are: 100x 50cm, 120x60cm, 140x70cm. There are other sized mattresses for babies, however, those are either USA or Australia size, hence are not UK and EU standard sizes.

A cot is the bed frame, while a mattress is the cushioned pad placed on top of the cot frame for sleeping.

A firm, breathable cot mattress made from safe materials like foam or natural fibers is considered safest for infants.

A firm, supportive mattress that meets safety standards and fits snugly within the cot frame is recommended for babies.

A fibre mattress can be suitable for a baby as long as it is firm, supportive, and meets safety standards.

A cot mattress should typically be around 8-10cm thick for optimal comfort and support.
