About this deal

The Waterproof Moses Basket Mattress Protector is a practical and essential accessory for any parent with a newborn. This protector fits perfectly on top of the mattress in your baby's Moses basket, protecting it from spills, leaks, and other accidents that can occur during the night.

We took all the mattresses that came most highly recommended by consumers and parents to draw up a shortlist of 20 products and then narrowed it down to the eight you see here, which we think offer enough choice for every family. Why you should trust us I was given both a second hand Moses basket and crib and bought basic John Lewis mattresses which have been great and used for two DC.” (Tried and tested by Mumsnet user FoxtrotSkarloey) Our verdictThis product is Oeko® Standard 100 certified, which means it’s free from any harmful substances and kind to your baby's delicate skin, as well as the environment. Many Mumsnetters are converts to memory foam mattresses for adults, so it makes sense that this specially-designed Clevafoam Moses basket mattress comes highly recommended too. I got the Clevamama Clevafoam support mattress for my son. It's very good quality and has a luxury plush feel to it. I'd highly recommend it."(Recommended by Mumsnetter maryd84) Our verdict Water-Resitant Cover: You can simply wipe the cover clean in case of small spills, offering double protection for your baby's comfort.

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.

Can you use a secondhand Moses basket mattress?

Support and Comfort: The mattress core is made from high-density polyester fibre, delivering exceptional support and comfort. Its heat-dissipating properties help to regulate your baby's temperature ensuring that they remain comfortable throughout the night. Removable, Easy-Care Cover: The mattress boasts a removable, machine washable spun-bond polypropylene cover. It's also highly moisture-resistant and can withstand high temperatures. This durability ensures a hygienic sleeping environment. What sets this mattress apart from the others is not just its non-standard size (the majority of Moses basket mattresses are 74 x 28cm) but the fact that it’s so easy to find compatible Moses baskets, sheets, stands and more from Mamas & Papas. The brand also offers a larger mattress size. This mattress works with the Mamas & Papas Dream Upon a Cloud Moses Basket but will fit other designs of these dimensions too. Parents say it has a medium-firm feel and offer good support for a baby’s posture. The cover is made from a micropore material, which increases air circulation and breathability, but is wipe-clean only - the only downside. However, for just over a tenner, we think this mattress offers a lot and stands up well next to Moses basket mattresses at more than twice the price. On cooler nights, simply flip the mattress over, the polypropylene cover on the bottom panel retains heat and keeps your newborn snug and cosy. The high-density polyester internal pad provides superior support and comfort.

Materials: Most Moses basket mattresses are made from foam, which is comfortable but also firm and supportive. But you can also buy mattresses made from hypoallergenic and natural materials. Even if your mattress is foam, you can look out for brands that have been treated to discourage dust mites, and many mattresses will come with a hypoallergenic cover. While Moses basket mattresses do feel much thinner than a cot mattress or other kids' mattresses - more like a pad - The Lullaby Trust advises that it should simply be “firm, flat and waterproof.” Are all Moses basket mattresses the same size?

5. Best Moses basket mattress with a washable cover: Sleep & Snuggle Hypoallergenic Moses Basket Mattress

This easy-care mattress protector is designed with a smart system of layers that create a barrier which helps to reduce allergies.

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 NHS says, “If you're borrowing a crib or a cot, or using one that's been used by another of your children, you should ideally buy a new mattress. If you cannot do this, use the cot mattress you have, as long as it's firm (not soft), flat, fits the cot with no gaps, is clean, dry, waterproof and not ripped or torn.” Get a second hand Moses basket and buy a great mattress. 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 If you have an unusually sized Moses basket, there are lots of companies that make bespoke mattresses for Moses baskets, like The Little Green Sheep. Can you use a secondhand Moses basket mattress?

Are all Moses basket mattresses the same size?

We think the best Moses basket mattress is the Little Green Sheep Natural Moses Basket Mattress. We love its eco credentials as well as the comfort and support it offers your little one. While it's pricy - especially once you add the sold-separately washable cover - it's the Rolls Royce of Moses basket mattresses.
