Find the ideal mattress for your baby or child based on your actual needs — from the first months in a bassinet to their first single bed.

For holidays and sleepovers at Grandma’s

For holidays, stays at Grandma’s or a day trip, a travel cot needs a mattress that’s easy to pack away and makes sleep comfortable. The Lorelli Air Comfort measures 60x120 cm, the same size as most travel cots, and is 6 cm thick, with foam that’s more comfortable than the thin mattresses supplied with many travel cots.

It folds up so you can take it with you in the car, and its cover can be removed and washed, which is handy when you’re changing beds often. It has remained one of the most popular choices with customers for a long time.

For the playpen that becomes a permanent bed

In many homes, the playpen serves as the baby’s regular bed for years. For a good night’s sleep, the Greco Strom Ioli features coir, which provides a firm surface and keeps the baby’s body in a straight position, and a antibacterial cover that can be removed for washing.

Measuring 60x120 cm and 6 cm thick, it fits in the playpen in place of the mattress you already have. See more playpen mattresses with coir and an antibacterial cover.

For steady support in the crib from the very first days

During the first few months, your baby spends most of the day lying down and needs a firm surface that won’t sag under their weight. The Lorelli Havana Premium combines coir with foam in an anatomical design to support the body along its entire length.

With a thickness of 10 cm and dimensions of 60x120 cm, it fits a standard crib and stays comfortable as your baby grows and begins to roll over in their sleep.

For the First Few Months in the Cradle

The bedside cradle is your newborn’s first bed, and the mattresses that come with them are often very thin. The Greco Strom Hector cradle mattress measures 50x90 cm, is 4 cm thick and has an antibacterial cover.

Cradles vary in size, so measure the inside of yours first: the mattress should fit snugly, with no gaps along the edges.

For a cot that converts into a toddler bed

70x140 cm cots often convert into toddler beds, so your child will use the mattress for several years. The Greco Strom Erato combines coir for firm support with latex for a softer feel, and has an antibacterial cover.

It is one of the most popular choices for cots of this size. It has no springs, so the surface stays even across the entire width.

When it’s time for a single bed

When your child outgrows the cot, they move to a 90 cm single bed, and the mattress will accompany them for many years. The Greco Strom Orpheas is an orthopedic mattress with Bonnell springs and coconut fibre, measuring 90x200 cm.

The springs provide a stable base, while the coconut fibre keeps the surface firm. At 17 cm thick, with an antibacterial cover, it’s ready for everyday sleep in an adult-sized bed.

Before choosing, measure the inside of the bed: the mattress should fit snugly, with no gaps at the edges. For babies, choose a firm surface, and keep a spare cover or sheet for when the first one is in the wash.
