As a young parent, your baby’s health and comfort are a priority. You want to give your baby the best possible care. This includes investing in quality sleep products.

Choosing the right mattress for your baby is important. But did you know that using a mattress protector is just as important? In fact, to protect your baby and his mattress, the use of a mattress protector is essential.

To help you better understand, the sleep experts at Kadolis explain why to use a mattress protector for your baby.

To protect your baby

First and foremost, using a mattress protector for your baby is beneficial for your baby. A baby’s first few years of sleep are precious. It is important for him to be able to sleep through the night in a comfortable and dry way.

Your baby’s urine and perspiration will be absorbed by the mattress protector, so that he does not come into contact with too much liquid. This will prevent your baby from waking up during the night and give him a better night’s sleep.

The use of a mattress protector is also beneficial in preventing the growth of bacteria. By absorbing the various liquids, it will act as a barrier to bacteria, both for your baby and for the mattress. 

All in all, the use of a baby mattress protector contributes greatly to your baby’s sleep quality and health.

To protect his mattress

On the other hand, using a mattress protector will obviously help you protect your baby’s mattress, but also increase its lifespan. A waterproof mattress protector will prevent liquids or dirt from getting on the mattress. Cleaning a mattress is a difficult, almost impossible chore. It is therefore important to take preventive action and protect the mattress.

The main threat to mattresses is moisture. Babies tend to urinate and sweat a lot while sleeping. It is therefore important to protect their mattress, almost more than an adult’s.

Finally, the baby mattress protector can be machine washed in a simple way. This makes life easier for you. Please note that washing the baby mattress protector at a high temperature will be more effective in removing bacteria.

Which mattress protector to choose for your baby?

Choosing a mattress protector for your baby means making the choice to want to protect his health. So to make the right choice, it is important to turn to products that are environmentally friendly and respectful of his health.

Here are the criteria to consider when choosing a mattress protector for your baby:

- Choose a mattress protector made from organic cotton, especially on the sleeping side, for better comfort and respect for your baby’s sensitive skin.

- Choose a product without PVC, to avoid the plastic effect, which is noisy and less comfortable. PVC is also a polluting and less breathable material.

- Choose a polyurethane membrane for better waterproofing and comfort.

- Opt for a machine-washable mattress protector, for easier maintenance.

Our advice: In addition to the mattress protector, the choice of a fitted sheet for baby is also important, so think about it!

What size should you choose?

Your baby’s mattress protector should fit the size of the mattress. Depending on the type of crib, the dimensions will be different. The standard mattress size in Canada is 28x52 inches.

The thickness of the mattress should also be taken into account, so that the mattress protector is not too small.
