Moses Basket Mattress 66 x 28cm – Firm Flat Replacement Mattress

A replacement mattress for a standard Moses basket, 66 x 28 x 3cm.

Measure your basket first

Moses baskets vary. We stock two sizes — 66 x 28cm and 74 x 28cm — and getting it wrong matters more than with most bedding.

The mattress must fit the base with no gap around the edge. A gap a baby can roll into, or a mattress that curls up at the sides because it is too big, are both suffocation risks.

Why firm and flat

Lullaby Trust guidance is a firm, flat mattress with no dip or soft surface. A soft or worn mattress lets a baby sink, which restricts the airway.

Press down on your current mattress. If it holds an impression, has flattened in the middle, or feels soft, replace it.

When to replace

Mattress guidance is to use a new mattress for each baby where possible, and always for a baby other than your own. If you are reusing one, it must be firm, flat, clean, dry and undamaged with no tears in the cover.

Replace any mattress that has been stored damp or shows mould.

Care

Always use with a fitted sheet. Wipe the cover clean; do not soak it.
