Babe Safe Mattress

The advice to cover mattresses applies to every mattress on which a baby sleeps (except a BabeSafe mattress) and includes: adults’ mattresses; mattresses of other children; and all mattresses made of or containing natural products such as sheep fleeces, goatskins, kapok, tree bark, coconut fibre, etc.

The most convenient way to wrap a baby’s mattress is by means of a BabeSafe mattress cover.

BabeSafe covers are available in the following sizes:

Size A Fits all bassinets
Size B 1200mm x 580mm x 75mm
Size C 1200mm x 580mm x 125mm
Size D 1200mm x 580mm x 180mm
Size E 1310mm x 670mm x 125mm
Size F 1310mm x 670mm x 180mm

BabeSafe mattresses are available in the following sizes: (currently only available in New Zealand)

Bassinet 670mm x 330mm x 75mm
Standard 1200mm x 580mm x 125mm
Large American 1300mm x 670mm x 125mm

It is imperative to use the correct bedding on top of a BabeSafe mattress or BabeSafe cover. Use a fleecy pure cotton (winceyette, flannelette) underblanket and tuck this in securely. Then make the bed using cot sheets and pure woollen or pure cotton overblanket/s.

Do not use any of the following items in your baby’s cot:

Sheepskin
Sheepfleece underlay
Any form of moisture-resistant cot mattress protector
Acrylic blanket
Sleeping bag
Duvet
