Why do you need a new mattress for baby?
Generally we would advise it is safest to have a new mattress for each baby, though we know this is not always possible. There is some evidence to suggest that bringing in a mattress from another home might increase the risk of sudden infant death very slightly.
a foam cot mattress can be a good option for your baby. Foam cot mattresses are durable, supportive and often hypoallergenic. They also tend to be a little cheaper than sprung mattresses, such as open coil or pocket sprung cot mattresses.
The mattress is as important as the crib, and we recommend buying the best one you can. Why does it matter? … And the mattress should be firm. A soft one can conform to the shape of your baby’s head or face, increasing the risk of suffocation or even sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS)
Some research suggests that there could be a link between Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS or ‘cot death’) and secondhand mattresses. An old mattress might contain mould, bacteria and dust mites, which could be linked to SIDS.
