The bassinet is one of the most common beds that are provided for the little kids. This serves as their sanctuary where they sleep the night away. And as a parent, it is only natural that you find the perfect bassinet mattress for your baby. Looking for the right one is easy as long as you follow these helpful tips:
Thickness is the first thing that you should take note of. Remember that this will serve as your baby's bed so it should be soft enough for your baby to feel comfortable and yet thick enough to be able to support your baby's weight. The mattress should be rigid so that it retains its shape for a long period of time. It should also be flexible so that it contours to the baby's body, thus providing the ultimate comfort.
The inside of the mattress is also important. Usually, a bassinet mattress is made from foam as it provides more softness. However, the material does not last that long especially if used frequently because it can flatten through time. Other mattresses are made from springs. While the material provides resilience, it can be quite rigid. It is better to test before even purchasing the mattress
Mattresses are made from different materials too, so it is only natural that you take these into consideration as well. Make sure that everything is hypoallergenic so that your baby will be safe from any skin rashes and abrasions. There are mattresses that are made from all-organic material. This type of material is the most advisable as it is the safest for your baby and it is eco-friendly as well.
The size of your baby's bassinet mattress is also one huge factor. It should fit snuggly in the bassinet. It should not have any gaps, especially along the edges, in order to protect the baby from the sharp and pointed parts of the bassinet.
It is also important to check if the mattress followed the safety standards and regulations. Read the label to make sure that it is proven and tested. Check also for features like water- or flame-resistance. Cleaning and maintenance is important as well. Care instructions should be provided along with the mattress to make sure that your baby can be kept safe from germs and diseases.
Of course, don't forget about the design. When picking a bassinet mattress, it is also best to consider the gender of your baby. This way, you can be sure that it will be perfectly suited for your child.
