Pocket Spring Mattress to fit Boori Neat Rocking Cradle

Description

This Save Our Sleep Mattress Tizzie has designed for use with her own baby and in her sleep clinic. Tizzie believes this mattress is the best on the Australian market. This mattress is firm and passes the SIDS and KIDS safe hand test. Tizzie designed this mattress specifically for the Boori Neat Rocking Cradle with a low profile pocket spring.

FAQ: I thought Tizzie said my cot should have slats on all four sides? When Tizzie mentions solid ends, she typically refers to a cot designed for babies aged 0 to 3.5 years. The Boori Rocking Cradle, however, is generally used for babies from birth up to 8-12 weeks, or occasionally up to 6 months. At this young age, if the baby is in the correct bedding and properly wrapped, they will not roll onto their tummy or move to the side and press their face against the solid end. Additionally, the small size of this cradle reduces the likelihood of parents positioning the long slatted end against a wall.

Ideally, Tizzie recommends using a cradle with slats on all four sides, such as the Bloom Mini Crib. However, these can be difficult to find in Australia unless purchased second-hand.

What will my baby sleep on?

Often a lot of thought goes into the cot, but little is given to the mattress the baby will sleep on. I believe the mattress is more important than the cot.

The mattress your baby sleeps on should be the same as an adult’s mattress, simply smaller. The mattress should be made from high quality materials, have very good springs and provide good support.

Just because a cot comes with a mattress, does not mean that mattress is suitable for your baby. Many large baby stores make their own mattresses and put them into the cots, making it seem like that’s the mattress that you have to use. This is not the case at all and I recommend you not falling into that trap. Do research into the quality of the mattress, and I’ve found one of the best forms of research is to test it yourself. Test to see if the mattress is firm and comfortable, not lumpy or too soft. If you can feel the springs, then so will your baby, and they will not sleep well.

If you are not sure where to spend your money when it comes to cots and mattresses, I would recommend buying a cheaper cot and a better quality mattress. The colour of your cot won’t matter to your baby, but the quality of the mattress will.
