Bassinet mattress gives that cocoon-like feel to your baby which, according to experts, is like being inside the womb of a mother. This is preferred for babies during birth until they reach 6 months of age.

Today, bigger brands do not provide a mattress for a bassinet. Most of the time, you can only find crib mattresses. But there are also reliable, albeit less popular, mattresses that can still provide the comfort your young one needs.

These companies commonly utilize natural materials which are what should be the best for babies. Organic cotton and eco-friendly materials are far more durable and safe for the delicate skin of your little one.

One brand that specializes in this is Naturepedic. Most of their products are organic and natural. They also offer various shapes and sizes. If you are using an oval bassinet, you can find a mattress from them that can fit perfectly.

The fit of the mattress is also crucial. Bassinets come in rectangular and oval shapes so before buying a mattress for it, make sure you know what size to choose.

I would personally pick a crib mattress because I will have more options. But this type of mattress is good for newborns as it is not as spacious as a crib mattress. However, some experts say that a constricting bed such as this and coupled with a super soft mattress can actually contribute to a condition called SID or sudden infant death.

A significant number of infants die for unknown reasons. It is as if they just stopped breathing. Studies say that one of the best ways to alleviate this problem is to get a firmer mattress and one that they can breathe and relax easily.

If you do decide to choose this type of mattress, make sure you get a good brand like Naturepedic. It should not contain harsh chemicals and it must also provide the required support.

Bassinet mattress is also a good type of mattress for travelling so you should choose one that is durable. Airplanes do have it in case there is a baby on board but it is still better if you bring one that your baby is more familiar with.
