Parents who’ve bought the mattress say it keeps its shape really well. The coconut and latex makes up the core of the mattress, a layer of temperature-regulating, breathable wool surrounds it, and then a cotton herringbone cover holds it all together. So far so good. However, the main issue consumers have with this mattress is that, green as it is, it’s not waterproof and is sponge-clean only. The Little Green Sheep also recommends that you buy one of its mattress protectors, so the price can start to mount up. The Little Green Sheep makes Moses basket mattresses in three sizes, so as well as this standard size there are also mattresses designed to fit Mamas & Papas and Mothercare Moses baskets. There’s also an option to buy a fully customisable mattress if you happen to have an unusually sized Moses basket. The top panel of this mattress features innovative 3D mesh technology that allows for maximum breathability and excellent moisture absorption properties. When combined with the i-Fibre core, this mesh emphasises the mattress's temperature regulating qualities, making it perfect for use all year round.

We've ways bought little green sheep mattresses for Moses basket/snuz pod/cot and have been really pleased with them and they've seen us through both kids so I would definitely recommend them." (Tried and tested by Mumsnet user lobsteroll) Our verdict It’s recommended that you buy a new Moses basket mattress for each baby, even if you'd only be handing down from your own children. The NCT says, “It might not seem like a big deal to reuse mattresses from your eldest child’s Moses basket or co t, or accept a hand-me-down from a friend. But bear in mind that doing this could mean a small increase in your baby’s risk of SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome). That applies if you’re using one that’s come from outside your house and if you lent it to somebody else in between babies.” Designed with ease of use in mind, this Moses basket mattress protector is simple to fit and remove, making it easy to keep your baby's sleeping environment clean and fresh. It is also easy to clean, and can be wiped down or machine-washed as needed.
