Every Cot in Every Nursery needs a waterproof cot mattress protector even if the cot mattress itself can be wiped down. Without one a the cot mattress can become home to dust mites, mould and bacteria. This one fits a standard 60cm x 120cm cot mattress.
Every Cot in every nursery needs a waterproof cot mattress protector even if the mattress itself is waterproof or can be wiped down.
The reason is that at times the mattress will become wet from maybe a leaking nappy or baby being sick or just simply perspiration and dribble. This moisture encorages the formation of bacteria and moulds and just wiping down the mattress will probably not be enough to be certain of removing them.
You would not want to use bleach or other cleaning chemicals in the cot so the only 'peace of mind' alternative is to use a removable waterproof cot mattress protector that can be washed at high enough temperatures to be sure of removing and killing any mould and bacteria.
Mould and bacteria can be responsible for infections, skin conditions and the symptoms of asthma in babies so we need to minimise the potential exposure to them as much as we can. Moisture and the presence of bacteria will also encourage dust mites to colonise the mattress. Dust mites are known to be responsible for the onset of asthma and eczema in some children.
This waterproof cot mattress protector stops moisture from reaching the mattress thus eliminating the build up of this unhealthy mould and bacteria. This in itself limits the chances of dust mites breeding in the mattress but also creates a completely dust mite proof barrier between the mattress and baby.
The waterproof cot mattress protector can be easily removed as it fits in a similar way to a fitted sheet with an elasticated skirt around the outside edge to hold it in place. Some mums use two at a time, that way if the top one becomes wet at night it can easily be removed leaving a clean dry one underneath with minimal disturbance of the baby. It can then be machine washed at temperatures up to 90c to eliminate mould, bacteria and killing any dust mites present. It can then be tumble dried ready to be put back on the cot.
This cot mattress protector has a soft absorbent cotton rich terry upper with a soft breathable, waterproof membrane on the underside. It is comfortable and noise free, in fact it is virtually undetectable in use.
