FAQ
Is this cot mattress safe?
We believe the Cariboo Tru-Sleep Cot Mattress is the safest choice in cot mattress:
-Naturally hypoallergenic– memory foam is naturally hypoallergenic because it’s dense nature makes it hard for dust-mites and allergens to breed compared to spring or PU foam mattresses https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12028120/
-No nasty chemicals – 3rd party lab tested as free from known harmful chemicals as per REACH and EN71-3.

-Mould prevention - the mattress features a double sided removable waterproof cover to prevent accidents creating mould and nasty chemical emissions inside the mattress core.
Why is a waterproof cot mattress so important?
Both sides of the Cariboo Tru-Sleep Mattress feature a natural breathable cotton waterproof cover. This prevents moisture entering the inner core of the mattress and fabric producing mould. Mould and other dust-like fungi that can form with moisture is known to be very harmful to human health. Natural cotton has also been shown to be potentially beneficial to reducing SIDs risk https://www.midwiferytoday.com/mt-articles/babys-bedding/ The mattress cover is removable and can be machine washed (30 degrees maximum).
