Would you recommend this to other mums?
This is a high quality mattress and my baby now sleeps through the night thanks to the comfort factor. I would highly recommend this product as you can see straight away it is a high end mattress and well worth the cost especially for a cot bed that will be used for a number of years. I also really like the fact it's made in Britain.
How did this product make your life easier?
This mattress makes my life easier as my baby sleeps like a dream on it. I sleep better knowing she is comfortable and has a mattress that fully supports her and is made of quality materials. Its cover zips off and is easy to clean although I've protected it with a waterproof mattress cover. It keeps her warm in the winter and cool in the summer.
Would you choose this product to win?
It's very comfortable provides warmth in the winter and cool in the summer. It definitely stands out amongst the rest and I think it is good value for the money. It is comfortable and certainly long lasting thanks to the quality materials used.
What changes would you make to this product?
It would be great if the mattress had one waterproof side so if you did have an accident you could easily just flip it over. I think this would give you piece of mind that little accidents in the night would not ruin the product. Mattresses are not cheap and I would like to know that I could keep it clean without too much hassle.

Would you recommend this to other mums?
I love how the mattress is made within the UK (Devon) so helping to reduce the carbon footprint of the product we are buying. Made from all natural materials the mattress is super soft and comfortable not too soft or to hard. The mattress cover can be removed to be used if needed however is not waterproof. The mattress fitted our cot bed perfectly.
How did this product make your life easier?
Before using this mattress my little one would sleep through the night 2/3 times a week the week we started using the mattress she slept 6 nights through in a row. The mattress is made from natural organic material products and is unbleached and chemical free giving me peace of mind whilst my little one sleeps in a natural environment.

Being made from natural organic material such as lambswool helps to regulate baby's body temperature easier. I found that whereas other mattress made my little one sweaty in hot weather this mattress kept her cool and allowed her to sleep through the night. The mattress is soft but also the perfect firmness to help with the prefect night sleep. Having a child with eczema it was reassuring to know that the mattress was treated with essential oils to remove dust mites
What changes would you make to this product?
Whereas the mattress comes with a removable mattress cover as standard this cover is not waterproof and would not protect the mattress against any accident or sickness which can be a common occurence with a young child. It would have been more practical if this had been included instead of having to purchase one at extra cost.

I think this is a quality British made product that has been carefully thought out and made to high standards. The materials used and fab and are great for babies with allergies. The protective cover is great and the fact you can unzip it and pop it in the wash makes it invaluable. The mattress is firm but comfortable and supports baby correctly.
How did this product make your life easier?
I love the fact the the mattress cover zips off to enable you to wash it. Hygienically this is great for dribble or sticky babies. It's also comforting to know that the mattress is made from organic materials and is healthy and supportive for babies with allergies. Our little one has slept really well on this mattress and seems comfortable and content.
Tested by mum Amy Hasler for the M&B Awards 2017:
Would you recommend this to other mums?
I would absolutely recommend this mattress to any parent because babies/children spend a lot of time asleep and this mattress is made from soft, natural materials which have no nasty chemicals - and even has calming essential oils to deter dust mites - so if you can spend the money, this would be one of the things I would say to invest in. It's soft and comfortable, and our little one slept well on it.
How did this product make your life easier?
This mattress has many properties that help you to feel you are doing your best for your child - the natural materials so they are not exposed to chemicals, and the softness means you are reassured that when they are sleeping - they have the best possible place to sleep. Mattresses are available in all types, but if you are worried about harmful things - this is a great product. Even the cover can be removed and put in a hot wash.
Would you choose this product to win?
The quality of the mattress is very high, the materials used are not treated or synthetic, and there are benefits within the natural materials that help comfort - aside from the temperature regulation (helps to keep cool in summer and is insulating in winter), there are oils to prevent dust mites from inhabiting it, and the mattress is soft and really comfortable to lie on.
What changes would you make to this product?
There is nothing I would change about the actual product - it even comes with a 5 year guarantee which is longer than one child would use it! However I think some families will be put off by the cost - it is a higher cost which will be unattainable for some, but in my opinion I think it is worth the money for the quality of workmanship and the natural materials - it's definitely worth it - your baby will sleep on it (hopefully) every day/night for years.

Would you recommend this to other mums?
Yes, and I already have! It arrived perfectly packaged and no chemical smell so I could use it straight away. It feels and looks so natural that it really is the perfect choice for babies and toddlers. The removable cover is a great idea and washes really well and it has a nice supportive bounce too it with no springs.
How did this product make your life easier?
My son has slept so much better on this mattress, so in terms of making life easier for me, we're both getting more sleep so it doesn't get much better than that! The removable cover is a great idea, it zips off and I'm washing it like I would a mattress protector. Knowing it's all natural is a huge relief and being able to use it straight away was a big bonus as there's no nasty chemical smells.
Would you choose this product to win?
It's the bee’s knees in terms of ensuring optimal health for your baby. Knowing that it is made with organic natural materials with no nasty chemical smells it reassured me that I'm doing all I can for my son to sleep safely. It's supportive and comfortable and my son is sleeping so much better on this mattress than our previous one.
What changes would you make to this product?
I wouldn't change anything at all. I was a little apprehensive that it would be able to offer a good deal of support for my son being completely natural but n actual fact its so much better than my previous foam mattress. Everything from the packaging to the feel of it is way beyond my expectations for a mattress.
