The travel cot is one of the essential accessories for welcoming baby.
This portable bed can be transported absolutely anywhere and thus allow your child to sleep comfortably during your vacation or travel.
For a travel cot to be really comfortable, it still needs to be equipped with a good mattress.
Many travel cots come with a basic, thin foam mattress, which could hurt your newborn's back over time.
Fortunately, brands are adapting and offering
more and more comfortable travel
cot mattresses .
To choose the right travel cot mattress, several criteria must be taken into consideration.
The dimensions will probably be the most important of all, since the mattress will have to adapt perfectly to the type of travel cot chosen.
Thickness is also an essential selection criterion.
Most travel cot mattresses sold on the market are 5 to 8 cm thick, while the recommended thickness for baby's comfort varies from 10 to 13 cm.
Finally, on the material side, if foam is the most used for mattresses, latex and coconut fiber also offer excellent comfort.

Why put a mattress in a travel cot?
Adding a mattress to an umbrella is often necessary to take care of your baby's health and well-being.
What are the reasons for investing in this equipment?
Reason #1: to keep your baby comfortable
Certains lits parapluie sont livrés avec matelas, d’autres sans. Bien souvent, le matelas intégré à l’équipement s’avère peu adapté aux besoins de votre enfant, car trop fin. C’est la raison pour laquelle remplacer ou ajouter un matelas de qualité permettra de pallier ce manque de confort.
Raison n° 2 : pour que bébé dorme bien
Pas facile, pour un enfant, de dormir correctement ailleurs que dans son lit habituel. En mettant un matelas confortable et douillet dans son lit parapluie, vous contribuerez largement à son sentiment de bien-être. Parce qu’il se sentira aussi bien que chez lui, votre enfant dormira bien mieux !
Raison n° 3 : pour profiter d’un matelas adapté
Certains bébés dorment mieux sur une surface ferme, d’autres sur une surface moelleuse. En ajoutant un matelas au lit parapluie de votre enfant, vous pourrez choisir un modèle parfaitement adapté à ses besoins physiologiques !
Quel type de matelas choisir pour un lit parapluie ?
Le lit parapluie a la particularité d’être transporté partout, aussi bien en vacances que lors de vos déplacements chez vos amis ou dans votre famille. Quel type de matelas pour lit parapluie choisir ?
Un matelas adapté à la physiologie de bébé
Alors que le matelas en mousse a l’avantage d’être léger et de faire partie des matelas au meilleur prix, les matelas en latex ou à mémoire de forme ont aussi le vent en poupe. Si votre enfant a tendance à avoir mal au dos ou qu’il a des difficultés à dormir, mieux vaut lui acheter un matelas de qualité, qui s’adaptera parfaitement à la forme de son dos, et lui permettra de se sentir comme à la maison.
Un matelas pliant pour faciliter le transport
Comme le matelas sera, au même titre que le lit parapluie, amené à être transporté régulièrement, il sera conseillé d’opter pour un matelas compact et léger. Les grandes marques de puériculture ont d’ailleurs tout prévu puisque la plupart proposent des matelas pliants ou enroulables, faciles à emmener partout. Certains matelas peuvent être pliés en deux, d’autres en trois en fonction de vos besoins.
Où acheter un matelas pour lit parapluie ?
