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

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

Quilted or plain?

The quilting is a surface finish on the cover. It does not make the mattress softer, and it should not — a Moses basket mattress must be firm and flat.

What quilting does is spread pressure slightly more evenly across the cover and make it feel less plasticky under a sheet. It is a comfort and finish difference, not a support one.

Measure your basket first

We stock two sizes — 66 x 28cm and 74 x 28cm. Getting it right 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 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. 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

Guidance is to use a new mattress for each baby where possible, and always for a baby other than your own. If reusing, it must be firm, flat, clean, dry and undamaged with no tears in the cover. Replace anything stored damp or showing mould.

Care

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