Your baby's rest time is very important for their healthy development and growth. In the first months, they sleep approximately 14 - 17 hours, so it will be essential to create a comfortable and relaxing place for them. The crib is certainly your first objective, but the mattress will be the central element that will provide them with the comfort they need. There are many models available both online and in physical stores, but this can make you think, not knowing which one is the most suitable for your little one.
As with adults, choosing a mattress should be based on its firmness, the materials it is made of, and the treatments that have been applied to it. Dust and dust mite accumulation is a real problem, especially for children, as they are sensitive and can develop allergic reactions or respiratory problems at an early age. Therefore, prevention and selecting a mattress made of premium materials will be the best decision to give them the best and healthiest.

Materials and benefits for baby's health
Anti-allergy mattresses are made from carefully selected materials that reduce the risk of allergies and other respiratory problems. The most popular models are made from:
it Natural coconut fibers – moisture-resistant and natural, they prevent the growth of mold and bacteria.
it Memory foam – provides even support and adapts perfectly to the baby's body to reduce pressure points.
The benefits of these materials don't stop at preventing allergies. They also contribute to a more restful sleep, proper breathing during the night, and overall better hygiene of the sleeping space.

How can an anti-allergic mattress help your baby?
A premium anti-allergenic mattress model is more than just a bed accessory. It has the role of offering your little one numerous advantages that will ensure proper and healthy growth. Among the most important benefits of an anti-allergenic mattress are the following:
1. Protection against allergies and respiratory problems
Babies have a developing and very delicate immune system. Allergies can appear at an early age, and exposure to dust mites, dust or other particles can lead to allergic rhinitis, coughing, difficulty breathing and even asthma. An anti-allergy mattress drastically reduces these risks and provides a safe and clean environment.
2. Prevents skin irritation
Babies' skin is extremely sensitive, which is why premium mattresses made from anti-allergic materials are constructed without chemicals and are dermatologically tested, which means that the risk of eczema or irritation is significantly reduced.
3. A quality sleep
A baby who sleeps on a comfortable mattress, with a balanced temperature and free from other irritants, will have a deeper and more restful sleep. Quality sleep is essential for their physical and cognitive development.
4. Supports the body correctly
A well-designed anti-allergy mattress provides optimal firmness to support the spine and prevent deformities. It should be medium to firm to provide the perfect balance between comfort, position, and reducing the risk of suffocation.
How to properly maintain your mattress?
it Use a waterproof mattress protector;
it Air the mattress regularly, at least once a week;
it Wash the cover according to the instructions, preferably at 60°C, to remove all bacteria;
it Vacuum the mattress as often as possible to remove fine dust particles;
it Detergents used to wash protectors must be specially designed for children.
