We spoke to these real parent testers to get their review...
How did this product make your life easier?
Vicki said: "As a mum, it is really important that my baby sleeps soundly for as many hours per night as possible. My little one loves this mattress. It is super soft, yet firm and gives my baby the support she needs. Being able to use both sides is really helpful; however, I bought a protector to fit it after a few days."
Victoria said: "This mattress has two sides; one firmer side for babies (as recommended for safe sleeping) and one slightly less firm for a toddler or child, meaning that it lasts longer and grows with your child. My child has slept well on this mattress and seems comfortable and content. The cot sheets that I have also sit securely on each corner of the mattress. The product also has an anti-dustmite feature and is made from materials, which are free from chemicals and toxins. All of these features are reassuring and make me feel more confident that this product is suitable for my baby to use."
Donna said: "This is such a great mattress, and I've used Little Green Sheep before and have always loved their products. This is high-quality natural materials with the added bonus of being able to turn it over when my daughter gets older. So she has the firm side now and then a more medium/soft side later on. To save on buying another mattress down the line. My daughter has loved it since she first tries it and sleeps so well on it."
Would you recommend this to other parents?
Victoria said: "Yes. I think this is a good quality product which will stand the test of time and grow with your child. It is, however, a little more on the expensive side and does require an additional waterproof sheet as the outer cover is not removable. If someone were prepared to pay a little more for a good quality product then this would be the mattress to choose."
Donna said "Little Green Sheep care about their products and want to give you the best for your baby/child. So easy to fit and change the covers, naturally hypo-allergenic and chemical-free. Dual-sided, which is amazing when I first saw a Little Green Sheep mattress."
Vicki said: "I would recommend this product to a mum who is looking to improve their babies sleep or who wants a good quality first mattress. The ability to use both sides is really helpful, and the unique modern design is something that attracts me to this item. It fits well in the cot bed and definitely improved my babies sleep!"
Would you choose this product above all others on the market?
Donna said: "I haven't seen others that would compare to this one. Mattress shopping has always confused me, and was given a Little Green Sheep mattress for my first and even though it was second hand apart from one small stain, it was as if it was brand new."
Vicki said: "If the price was not an option, yes I would choose this product. Unfortunately, as a new mum, this item would normally be out of my price range. Even though I love the quality and the purpose, I would have to purchase a cheaper option, unless there was an offer so I could purchase. This is a shame as I love it!"
Victoria said: "This is a good quality product which has been made with very high-quality materials to provide the right support for a growing baby whilst they sleep. It is great to see a product on the market made of all-natural materials which help to regulate baby's body temperature. It is also naturally absorbent and disperses moisture away to create a clean, dry environment that is resistant to dust mites and bacteria growth."
What changes would you make to this product?
Vicki said: "The one thing that could make this product better is it being a bit cheaper as for mums on maternity leave very few would be able to afford it. This is a high-quality product though which is probably the reason for the price. It would also help if it came with a cover to protect it as it is such good quality."
Donna said: "I can't think of anything to change or improve the mattress. It has so many great qualities and we've loved using it. The only thing would be to make it more affordable, as it is more of a premium product compared to other mattresses on the market. If I had to have brought one, I wouldn't have been able to afford this one."
Victoria said: "This could be improved by making the outer layer washable or including a waterproof outer layer which could be removed and washed. Other similar products either come with this feature or provide an additional waterproof sheet or outer layer which can be removed and washed. This is a feature I'd expect when paying more money for a product such as this. I think the price is high but understand that this is likely to be due to the high-quality materials which have been used to make it."
