Choosing your baby’s cot mattress can feel overwhelming. Pocket sprung, bamboo, fibre, dual core, breathable… suddenly something that seemed simple becomes a huge decision.

And honestly? We understand why.

After years of helping parents choose nursery furniture and sleep products at Bumps n Babies, we’ve found that mattresses are one of the most important and often most overlooked investments for a new baby.

Your baby will spend a huge amount of their early months sleeping, growing and developing on their mattress, so choosing the right one matters for both comfort and safety.

Here’s our expert guide to helping you choose the best baby mattress for your family.

Why Your Baby’s Mattress Matters More Than You Think

Many parents focus heavily on choosing the perfect cotbed or pram ~ but the mattress itself is just as important.

In our honest opinion, the two areas worth investing in most are:

• Your baby’s mattress
• Your baby’s car seat

These are the products most directly linked to your baby’s safety, support and wellbeing.

One of the biggest regrets we hear from parents who purchased a very cheap mattress is simple:

“It just didn’t last.”

Lower-quality mattresses can lose shape quickly, reduce airflow and become less supportive over time.

What Should You Look For In A Baby Mattress?

1. Breathability

Breathability is one of the biggest questions parents ask us in store ~ and rightly so.

A breathable mattress helps airflow circulate around your baby while they sleep, helping regulate temperature and reduce overheating.

This is especially important for newborns and younger babies who cannot regulate body temperature as effectively as adults.

We particularly love mattresses with:

• Breathable covers
• Bamboo fabrics
• Airflow technology
• Hypoallergenic materials

Some of our most popular options include the CuddleCo Bamboo range and premium dual-core mattresses from Mamas & Papas.

2. The Mattress Must Fit Correctly

This is incredibly important for safe sleep.

A baby mattress should fit snugly inside the cot or cotbed with no large gaps around the edges.

You should not be able to fit more than two fingers between the mattress and the frame.

A poor-fitting mattress can create unsafe sleeping spaces for babies.

This is one reason we often recommend purchasing the brand-specific mattress designed for your chosen furniture collection where possible.

3. Dual-Sided Mattresses Are Worth Considering

If your budget allows, dual-core or dual-sided mattresses are one of the best long-term investments.

These mattresses usually offer:

• A firmer infant side for younger babies
• A softer toddler side for later years

This gives better longevity and adapts as your child grows.

From our experience, dual-core mattresses tend to retain their quality far better over time compared to very basic foam options.

4. Pocket Sprung vs Foam vs Fibre – What’s Best?

Foam Mattresses

Usually the most budget-friendly option.

Good for:

• Occasional use
• Grandparents’ homes
• Short-term sleeping arrangements

However, cheaper foam mattresses may not retain shape as well over time.

Pocket Sprung Mattresses

These offer better support and airflow than basic foam.

Popular choices include:

• Harmony Spring mattresses
• Signature Pocket Spring mattresses

Pocket sprung options are often a great middle-ground investment.

Dual Core Mattresses

Our personal favourite for long-term everyday use.

These combine support, breathability and longevity beautifully.

If parents ask us what we would choose for daily use long-term, dual-core is usually where we guide them.

5. Bamboo & Hypoallergenic Materials

More parents are now looking for natural-feeling, breathable and hypoallergenic materials.

Bamboo fabrics are especially popular because they are:

• Soft
• Breathable
• Moisture wicking
• Gentle on sensitive skin

They also help create a fresher sleeping environment for baby.

Can You Reuse A Mattress Between Siblings?

No! You are advised to get a NEW cheaper fibre mattress over re using a more expensive second hand one – YES Even between siblings. Please always use a new mattress for every sleep space!

Even if a mattress looks clean externally, over time it can narbour bacteria and lose support and firmness internally.

For safe sleep, babies should always have:

• A firm mattress
• A flat sleeping surface
• Proper support

Older mattresses may no longer provide this correctly.

Is A Premium Mattress Worth It?

Honestly? YES if budget allows – but new is best!.

Especially if:

• This is your main everyday cotbed
• You plan to use the cot for several years
• You want better longevity
• You want improved breathability and support

For occasional sleep spaces, such as grandparents’ homes, a simpler mattress can absolutely be suitable.

But for daily overnight sleep, we usually recommend investing where possible.

Our Most Popular Mattress Choices

At Bumps n Babies, some of our most recommended mattress options include:

• Harmony Bamboo Mattress
• Signature Pocket Spring Mattress
• Mamas & Papas Pocket Sprung Mattress
• Mamas & Papas Dual Core Mattress

We also pair mattresses carefully with collections including:

• CuddleCo
• Mamas & Papas
• Babystyle
• Babymore
• O Baby

Final Thoughts

A baby mattress isn’t just another nursery accessory.

It’s where your baby will spend thousands of hours sleeping, growing and developing during those precious early years.

The right mattress can offer:

• Better support
• Better airflow
• Better longevity
• Greater peace of mind for parents

And while there are excellent options across many budgets, choosing quality where possible is something most parents never regret.

If you’re planning a holiday with a baby or toddler, a compact travel stroller can make airport life much easier, even those summer time adventures are a little smoother with the right stroller.

But not all “compact” strollers are created equal.

Some are airline cabin-friendly (always check your carrier), some are simply small enough to be excellent travel companions, and some offer surprisingly high weight capacities despite tiny folds.

Here are four worth considering.

Comparison Table

*Always check airline rules.
**Can fit some overhead lockers depending on airline, but verify with carrier.

1. Egg Sky

If you want a true travel-focused stroller with a premium feel, the Egg Egg Sky is built with holidays in mind.

It’s compact, stylish, from birth, and ideal for warm-weather travel.

2. iCandy Pip

One of the strongest all-rounders.

The iCandy Pip combines:

• IATA cabin-approved positioning*
• 25kg capacity
• Lie-flat seat from birth
• Strong suspension for a compact stroller

That 25kg limit is especially appealing for longer-term use.

3. Silver Cross Clic

If you want simplicity, quick folds and a very travel-oriented design, the Silver Cross Clic belongs on your shortlist.

4. Cosatto Woosh 4

Technically more “travel-friendly compact” than marketed purely as cabin-focused, but still a brilliant holiday stroller.

And the 25kg capacity is excellent.

Final Thought

If you want true travel convenience, focus on:

• Fold size
• Weight
• Cabin compatibility
• From-birth recline
• Higher weight capacity for longevity

And always….. always…….check your airline before you fly.

Choosing a car seat can feel overwhelming, and honestly, it should be something you take time over and ask all the right questions.

A car seat is one of the most important safety purchases you’ll make for your baby, and the “right” one often depends less on price or brand… and more on your needs.

Questions You Need To Ask Yourself Before car Seat Shopping.

Do you want a car seat that clicks onto your pram?

Do you want one seat from birth to 4 years, or even up to 12 years?

Will your baby travel in more than one car?

Do you want one rotating base to work through multiple stages?

Do you want extended rear-facing for added protection?

These are the questions that matter.

At Bumps n Babies, we always recommend choosing from trusted, safety-led brands such as Maxi-Cosi, Silver Cross, and Nuna. Along with selected brand-specific options like iCandy Cocoon, Bebecar Easymaxi, Egg Shell 360 and Oyster Capsule 360.

Because when it comes to car seat safety…

Never compromise.

An infant carrier is the removable “bucket-style” seat many parents start with. These attach to many different pram brands making them an ideal choice for parents who want to be able to lift the car seat off the chassis or base and carry with them.

This may be right for you if you want:

A seat that moves from car to pram to home
Minimal disturbance if baby falls asleep in the car
(never leave your baby in the car seat for longer than 1.5/2 hours at a time)
A travel system for day-to-day convenience
A seat that can easily move between vehicles – with the addition of a base
The option to add a second base for another car

Very important:

Not all car seats fit all prams.

Always check compatibility.

Many Maxi-Cosi and Nuna infant carriers fit multiple stroller brands using adapters.

Brand-specific seats like iCandy Cocoon or Egg Shell 360 often work only within their own brand ecosystem.

Important to remember when choosing your pram and car seat combo! At Bumps n Babies we bundle car seats and prams together making the whole process alot simpler.

All-in-One or Extended Use Car Seat (Birth to 4 Years or Up to 12 Years)

These stay in the car and grow with your child. So there is no need to consider if they are compatible with your dream pram. Get the best of both worlds.

Some take you from birth to around 4 years.

Some can take you all the way to 12 years.

This may suit you if you want:

One long-term investment
Often an ideal choice for caregivers and Grandparents
Excellent safety features
Extended rear-facing options
360 rotation for easier lifting
Often deeper recline features

The trade-off?

They do not detach and go onto your pram. So those convenient quick errands still mean removing your baby and popping them in the carrycot or carrying.

So if you want that travel-system convenience, this may not be your best first seat.

What Is Extended Rear-Facing — And Why Does It Matter?

Extended rear-facing means keeping your child facing the rear of the car for longer, highly recommended for the safety of your little one! This can be from upto 15 months or 4 years with some seats.

This is strongly encouraged under modern i-Size (R129) regulations.

Why it matters:

In a frontal collision (the most common serious collision), rear-facing seats help:

• Support the head
• Protect the neck
• Reduce spinal loading
• Distribute crash forces more safely across the back

This is especially important because babies and toddlers have relatively heavy heads and developing neck structures.

That’s why many safety experts encourage rear-facing as long as your seat allows.

Should You Choose a Base That Works for the Next Stage Too?

This is a big one! And often overlooked as its a future decision.

Some rotating bases can be used first with your infant carrier…

…and later with your next-stage toddler seat. Personally this is a great investment …but it does mean you are tied to purchase the next stage seat from that brand .

It can also mean:

• Less waste
• Better long-term investment
• Familiar installation
• One system you already trust

Definitely worth considering.

Infant Carrier vs All-in-One: Which Is Better?

My honest view?

If you want maximum convenience with a pram:
Start with an infant carrier.

If you prefer long-term value and fewer upgrades:
Consider an all-in-one.

For some families?

The best answer is both at different stages.

Its a choice that is personal to your lifestyle and we are here to advise and run through all your options so you can make an informed decision.

Choosing your baby’s bed might seem simple, but once you start looking, you’ll quickly realise there are a few different options available.

Cots, cotbeds and convertible cots all serve the same purpose, but they offer very different benefits depending on your space, budget and long-term plans.

Understanding the difference early on can help you avoid buying twice, lets break it down so you can choose the one that is best for you.

What Is a Cotbed?

A cotbed is a larger, more long-term option designed to grow with your child.

Typical mattress size:
140 x 70 cm

Cotbeds are suitable from birth and can usually be used until around 4–5 years old.

They typically include:

• Adjustable base heights for newborn safety
• Removable sides
• The ability to convert into a junior bed

This makes them a popular choice for parents looking for longevity and value.

Instead of replacing your child’s bed after a couple of years, a cotbed adapts as they grow.

What Is a Cot?

A cot is the most compact option and is ideal for smaller nurseries, tighter spaces or grandparents homes.

Typical mattress size:
120 x 60 cm

Cots are designed for use from newborn up to around 2 years of age.

They usually include:

• Adjustable base heights (to lower as your baby grows)
• A smaller footprint, making them perfect for more compact rooms

A cot does NOT convert into a bed

This means that once your child outgrows it, you’ll need to purchase a separate toddler or junior bed.

However, this doesn’t make it a lesser option, it simply makes it a different one.

In fact, a cot can be a great choice for grandparents’ homes or occasional use.

Because they are:
More compact
Often more affordable
Ideal for short stays or visiting grandchildren

They offer a practical and cost-effective solution without taking up too much space.

What Is a Convertible Cot?

This is where things have evolved, and where many parents are now leaning.

A convertible cot offers the best of both worlds.

Typical mattress size:
120 x 60 cm (same as a standard cot)

But with a key difference:

It converts into a junior bed

This means you get:

• A smaller footprint (ideal for compact nurseries)
• The ability to use it beyond the baby stage

In simple terms:

Same space-saving size as a cot
Same long-term use as a cotbed

For many families, this is now the perfect middle ground.

Which Option Is Right for You?

It comes down to your priorities:

Choose a Cot if:

• You have a smaller nursery
• You’re happy to upgrade to a bed later
• You want a simple, compact solution

Choose a Cotbed if:

• You want a long-term solution
• You have space for a larger piece
• You prefer not to buy another bed later

Choose a Convertible Cot if: (Popular Choice)

• You want to save space
• You still want long-term value
• You like the idea of one product that grows with your child

Popular Nursery Collections to Explore

If you’re considering options that offer flexibility, there are some excellent nursery collections available that include cotbeds and convertible cots.

Ranges such as:

• Mamas & Papas Harwell
• Mamas & Papas Wedmore
• Mamas & Papas Atlas
• Babymore Kimi

offer a combination of style, practicality and long-term value ~ making them well worth seeing in person.

Final Thoughts

There’s no single “right” choice, but there is a right choice for your home and your lifestyle.

The key is to think beyond the newborn stage and consider how long you want your baby’s bed to last.

A cot may work perfectly for now, but a cotbed or convertible cot could save you time, money and effort in the future.

Choosing a pram used to mean a compromise.

You either went for something lightweight and compact… or something sturdy enough for everyday use and overnight sleeping.

But the latest generation of travel systems is changing that completely.

Meet the Silver Cross Breez – bringing together convenience, functionality and style, without athe compromise!

1. A Foldable Carrycot That Actually Makes Life Easier

One of the standout features of the Silver Cross Breez is its foldable carrycot. Approved for overnight sleeping!

For many parents, the carrycot stage is essential, but it often comes with bulky, awkward storage.

The Breez design solves that.

Folds down easily with carrycot or seat attached
Takes up far less space in the car or at home
No need to struggle with removing parts

It’s a small change making a HUGE difference.

2. Compact Design Without Compromise

Compact prams are often associated with being lightweight, but not always built for longevity.

The Breez is designed to give you both.

It’s easy to manoeuvre, simple to store, and ideal for modern living! From frequent travel to smaller cars.

And at just 11kg for the chassis and carrycot its a lightweight option.

3. Suitable for Overnight Sleeping

This is where the Breez really stands out.

Despite its compact and foldable design, the carrycot is still approved for overnight sleeping.

That means:

Safe, flat position for newborns
Ideal for longer days out
Practical for visits or travel

This is especially important when compared to car seats, which are not designed for extended use.

The ability to safely let your baby rest in a lie-flat position gives peace of mind and added flexibility.

4. Lightweight Without Feeling Lightweight

The Silver Cross Breez weighs just 11kg with the carrycot and chassis.

That’s significantly lighter than many traditional travel systems, yet it still feels solid and well-built.

For parents, this means:

Easier lifting in and out of the car
More comfortable pushing
Less strain during everyday use

It’s the balance many parents are looking for, but rarely find.

5. Flexible Bundles to Suit Your Needs

Every family has different needs and the Silver Cross Breez can accommodate every stage of parenting.

The Breez is available in a range of bundle options, allowing you to choose what works best for your lifestyle.

Whether you need:

• Just the pram & pushchair or full travel system
  

There’s flexibility built in from the start.

6. Style That Fits Modern Life

Of course, practicality matters but so do looks!

The Silver Cross Breez offers a clean, modern aesthetic that fits seamlessly into everyday life.

It doesn’t feel bulky or overcomplicated, it feels considered.

A pram you will want to use everyday!

When most parents think about a nursing chair, they imagine something small, neat, and used only for a few months.

But the reality?
With the larger cuddle chair you will use this for years to come! It will be a “go to” place for all the family!

A new generation of nursing chairs is changing the way families think about comfort, space, longevity and everyday life with afamily.

Meet the CuddleCo Cuddle Chair and Babymore Snuggle Chair ~ designed not just for feeding, but for real family living for years to come.

1. Not Just for Newborn Days

The traditional nursing chair is often designed with one purpose in mind: those early days for feeding and bonding with your baby.

But parenting doesn’t stop there.

From the first few weeks, your chair becomes the cosiest place for:

• Late-night feeds
• Morning cuddles
• Nap-time settling
• Quiet bonding moments

And as your baby grows? – That same chair becomes:

• A “go to” story-time spot
• A comfort space for toddlers
• Somewhere to sit together after a long day

This is where wider, more generous chairs make all the difference.

2. Designed for Real Life (And Real Families)

The biggest shift with chairs like the CuddleCo Cuddle Chair and Babymore Snuggle Chair is space. Say goodbye to the narrow 1 person seat and say hello to all family comfort or curling up for a nap cosiness.

They’re designed to be:

• Wide enough for parent and baby
• Comfortable enough for long periods
• Supportive for feeding and relaxing

And importantly… Big enough for two (or more!)

Because real life looks like family:

• A toddler climbing up for a cuddle
• A sibling joining story time
• A parent stretching out after a long day

3. A Chair That Grows With Your Child

One of the most common regrets parents share is buying products that only last a few months.
Now you can invest in a few key pieces that last years.

With designs like these, your chair transitions from:

• Feeding chair
  → to cuddle chair
  → to reading chair
  → to everyday family seating

It becomes part of your home—not just your nursery.

4. Comfort That Actually Matters

Let’s be honest—those early weeks can be exhausting.

You’ll spend hours sitting, feeding, soothing and holding your baby.

A chair that is:

• Too small
• Too firm
• Or poorly designed

…quickly becomes uncomfortable.

That’s why features like:

• Deep cushioning
• Wide seating
• Soft-touch fabrics

make such a difference.

Comfort isn’t a luxury here—it’s essential.

5. Style Meets Practicality

Another major shift?

Nursing chairs no longer have to look like nursing chairs.

Both the CuddleCo Cuddle Chair and Babymore Snuggle Chair are designed to fit beautifully into your home.

Meaning:

• They don’t feel out of place in your living room
• They transition easily beyond the nursery
• They become a long-term piece of furniture

6. Is It Worth the Space?

For smaller homes, this is often the biggest question.

And the honest answer?

Yes—if you choose the right one.

Because instead of multiple chairs or temporary solutions, you’re investing in one piece that:

• Serves multiple purposes
• Lasts for years
• Becomes part of your daily routine

Conclusion

The role of a nursing chair has changed.

It’s no longer all about feeding, it’s about comfort, family time, and creating a space for those everyday moments.

The CuddleCo Cuddle Chair and Babymore Snuggle Chair represent this new approach perfectly.

From newborn cuddles to toddler story time and beyond…

This is the chair you and your family will keep coming back to.

If you’re planning your nursery, it’s worth choosing a chair that will truly last.

Creating a nursery can feel overwhelming, especially when you start adding up the cost of each individual item.

One of the most effective ways to save money is by thinking in terms of bundles and total spend, rather than buying piece by piece. You can get all your key pieces in one easy bundle – with big savings.

Many new parents don’t realise that by reaching certain spending thresholds, they can unlock significant discounts across their entire order.

For example, with collections from CuddleCo, spending £1500 gives you an EXTRA 15% off. When you purchase with us. Considering a full nursery often includes a furniture set, mattress, comfortable nursing chair and bedding essentials, this threshold is often reached easily.

Instead of purchasing items separately over time, buying together allows you to:

• Save money overall
• Ensure your nursery is fully coordinated
• Avoid multiple delivery costs

It also helps you feel more prepared, knowing everything is in place before your baby arrives.

Add in flexible payment options and the ability to secure your items with a small deposit, and the process becomes far more manageable.

Planning smart from the start can make a huge difference—not just financially, but in reducing stress as well.

The comfort, bonding, and long-term benefits every parent should know!

Planning Your Nursery? This Is the main Item Parents Say They Regret Skipping

When designing your nursery, space is often one of the biggest concerns, especially in smaller homes.

So it’s no surprise that many parents question investing in certain items creating the question –
“Do I really need a nursing chair?”

The short answer?
Yes 100% ~ and most parents who skip it wish they hadn’t. Because a nursing chair isn’t just another piece of furniture…it quickly becomes the “go to” place in your home.

The Only Downside: Space (And Why It’s Still Worth It)

Let’s address the one real concern – “Do I Have The Space For Another Item?”

In smaller nurseries, adding a chair can feel like a squeeze. But……
Smaller designs allow itb to fit neatly into corners or beside a cot
Many double up as stylish armchairs for other rooms later

So while space is a consideration, it’s no longer a reason to go without. With many more compact designs available too!

Even a small corner can become a calm, cosy feeding space that makes daily parent life easier.

The Real Benefits of a Nursing Chair & Why You Won’t Regret It

1. Comfort You Will Use Every Single Day

Feeding a newborn shouldn’t be quick, its a time to bond and can take hours across the day and night.

A proper nursing chair:

• Supports your back, neck, and arms
• Helps maintain a comfortable feeding position
• Reduces strain during long feeds
• Provides comfort allowing you to soothe and bond with your baby in a relaxed & calm environment

At 2am, this isn’t a luxury – it will be an essential.

2. A Dedicated Space for Bonding

Your nursing chair becomes more than just a seat.

It’s where you:

• Feed
• Cuddle
• Soothe
• Connect

Over time, your baby begins to associate this space with the comfort, calm and loving moments its creates, making it easier to settle them at anytime of day or night.

3. Perfect for Pre-Natal Rest Too

Many parents don’t realise how useful your nursing chair is even before baby arrives.

During pregnancy, it becomes:

• A supportive place to sit comfortably
• A spot to ease pressure on your back
• A quiet moment in your day to relax and prepare

It’s one of the few nursery items you’ll use both before and after birth for many years to come!

4. Lets Make Night Feeds Feel More Comfortable

Night feeds can feel overwhelming and exhausting, but your comfort makes a huge difference.

Having a dedicated chair means:

• You’re not stuck sitting upright in bed
• You can create a calm, low-light routine
• Baby stays relaxed and settled

Add a soft light and a blanket… and suddenly those quiet nighttime moments feel like a perfect moment.

5. Lasts Long Beyond the Newborn Stage

Unlike many baby products, a nursing chair doesn’t become redundant after those first few years, it will become your go to spot for story time and cuddles!

It evolves into:

• A storytime chair
• A cuddle spot
• A quiet place to unwind

This is a piece you’ll use for years to come !

What to Look for in the Best Nursing Chair

If you’re looking for your perfect one here are a few things to consider:

Supportive back and armrests – some recline and you can decide if this is a must for you. Recliners usually take up a bit more space.
Soft, durable fabric (boucle and faux fur are popular choices) – providing a cosy comfort for you to enjoy.
Compact design for smaller nurseries – a footstool is optional with ,any and may be worth leaving off if space is tight.
Neutral style that will work with your theme as your little one grows or the chair moves rooms.

A great example is the
Etta Nursing Chair – now available with the option of a footstool, this modern looking chair provides all the comfort you need and is on offer throughout the year.

How to choose the right nursery furniture set (and avoid costly mistakes)

Planning Your Nursery? Start With This First

One of the biggest mistakes parents make when designing a nursery is buying everything separately… without a clear plan.

It often leads to:

• Overspending on individual pieces
• Furniture that doesn’t match or fit well together
• Missing key essentials (like a proper mattress)

That’s why more parents are now searching for “nursery furniture sets UK” or “cotbed dresser wardrobe bundles” these options simplify the entire process.

The answer: Yes—if they include long-term pieces, good quality and genuine savings.

Why Buying Nursery Furniture as a Bundle – Just Makes Sense

Bundle sets are designed to give you everything you need from day one, while also ensuring:

• A consistent, calming look in your nursery
• Furniture that works together in both size and function
• Better overall value compared to buying items separately

For many parents, this removes the stress of trying to “match” pieces at later dates, and avoids multiple deliveries or unexpected extra costs.

Typical Bundle

What to Look for in the Best Nursery Furniture (2026 Guide)

1. A Cotbed – These Will Grow With Your Baby

Your cotbed should last beyond the newborn stage.

Look for:

• Converts into a toddler bed 9upto 4 years)
• Solid, breathable design
• Standard mattress size (easy replacements later) 140 x 70cm is the UK standard

2. A Dresser That Works Beyond Baby Years

A dresser with a changing unit is essential

The best option?
A dresser with a removable changing top

This means:

• You’re not replacing furniture in 2 years
• It transitions into a standard dresser for long-term use

3. A Wardrobe That Actually Fits Everything

Babies grow and so do their clothes.

A good nursery wardrobe should:

• Include hanging space + shelving
• Adjustable rails
• Match the rest of your set for a cohesive look

A great example of a set designed with all of this in mind is the
Mamas & Papas Harwell Nursery Furniture Set

It’s one of the most popular choices for parents wanting modern design + long-term value.

The Hidden Must Have: Your Baby’s Mattress

Here’s what many parents don’t realise…

Your baby will spend up to 16 hours a day sleeping in the early months.

So your mattress isn’t just an after thought, it’s an essential and very important item.

Look for:

• Firm, supportive structure – your baby will spend many hours here – look for Pocket Sprung or memory foam for your baby.s main mattress – fibre amd spring mattresses are a great cheaper option for grandparents and care givers homes.
• Breathable/Hypoallergenic materials
• Perfect fit within the cotbed – there should not be more than an inch gap around the edge!
• ALWAYS get a new mattress – NEVER use a second hand one even between siblings – if money is tight A NEW fibre mattress is a much better choice than a second hand one!

This is why deals that include a high-quality mattress aren’t just convenient, they’re a smarter, safer choice.
