Spring Mattresses

A spring inner core offers excellent support and durability within a cot mattress. Springs are often the preferred choice for a cotbed mattress because they are longer lasting than foam and provide better postural support for the full lifespan of the mattress. 

Space between the spring lattice allows for increased airflow within the mattress helping to regulate a child’s body temperature and to keep the mattress fresh. The Mini Bonnel Springs used within the Kit for Kids Baby mattresses offer excellent spinal support and comfort. 

Each spring core is encased within a high grade, dent resistant foam as well as an additional thick felt layer for added comfort and longevity. 

Why we use felt - Cot mattress design is limited by the maximum allowed height which is 10cm at the edge of a mattress and 12.5cm elsewhere. This helps prevent the child climbing out of the cot. 

However this limits the thickness of the comfort layer. In time the foam in the comfort layer will reduce in loft and the springs are more noticeable (and more uncomfortable) for the child. 

Many manufacturers are using a thin corovin barrier layer since this is cheap and out of sight. However a thick felt layer, such as we use, is more comfortable for longer and extends the life of the mattress.
