Safety & Fit
My daughter has recently moved into a cot bed, and the Obaby Moisture Management Mattress was an ideal choice for her as she suffers from allergies, and this one is hypoallergenic. It was the perfect fit for her cot bed, with no gaps around the edges, so I was confident that she would be safe sleeping on it.
One of the most critical aspects of a mattress for young children is safety, and this one was reassuringly well-made. There were no gaps between the mattress and the cot bed, ensuring a snug and secure fit. This perfect sizing eliminates any concerns about potential hazards, providing peace of mind that my child is safe when she’s in bed.
Waterproofness
The mattress cover claims to be waterproof and during our testing period, my daughter accidentally spilled an entire blackcurrant juice drink on it. The top layer of the mattress absorbed the liquid without any leakage, and the removable cover easily zips off, making it incredibly easy to remove and wash. It came out of the wash perfectly, with no shrinking or staining. However, since the cover isn’t tumble dryer safe, it did take a bit longer to dry, which is a minor inconvenience but not a dealbreaker.
Breathability
The Obaby mattress lived up to its name on this aspect - even during warmer nights, my daughter remained cool and comfortable, thanks to the mattress’s design. I think this helped her to sleep better while it was warmer weather.
Comfort
My daughter has been sleeping better than she did on her previous mattress. The mattress feels soft yet supportive, with my older children also saying how comfortable it was when they tested it out. The waterproof layer is soft but slightly crinkly; however, this didn’t seem to bother my daughter or affect her sleep quality.
Support
The mattress provides excellent support. It is thick and has not shown any signs of sagging, even with regular use. The support is consistent across the entire surface, so I’m confident that it’s supporting her body as it should.
Durability
The Obaby mattress feels well-made and constructed with high-quality materials. The seams are secure, and the overall build suggests that it will last through multiple washes and extended use without losing its integrity.
Final Thoughts
The Obaby Moisture Management cot bed mattress offers excellent value for money. It combines comfort, safety, and practicality, making it a fantastic choice for parents looking for a reliable and durable mattress for their child. The waterproof, machine-washable cover, combined with its breathability and supportive nature, makes this a mattress I’d certainly consider for my other children.
