FAQs
Is this mattress suitable for premature babies?
Yes, the firmer side is ideal for newborns, including premature babies, as it provides essential support for developing bodies.
How long can I use this mattress?
The dual-sided design allows it to be used from birth up to toddler age, typically around 2-3 years, depending on the child's growth and needs.
Can I use a standard mattress protector with this mattress?
Yes, it is recommended to use a breathable, waterproof mattress protector. Ensure it fits snugly and does not impede airflow.
What does 'hypo-allergenic' mean in relation to the wool?
The wool naturally repels dust mites and bacteria, creating an environment less likely to trigger allergies compared to synthetic materials.
Is the cotton cover removable?
Yes, the luxury Herringbone cotton cover is zipped and removable for washing.
Does the mattress contain any chemicals?
No, this mattress is specifically designed to be chemical-free, using only natural coconut coir, latex, wool, and cotton.
What are the dimensions of the mattress?
This mattress is designed to fit Boori cot dimensions. Please refer to the specific Boori cot model's specifications for exact measurements.
Troubleshooting
Mattress feels too firm/soft
The mattress is designed with dual firmness. Ensure you are using the correct side for your child's age: firmer side for newborns, softer side for toddlers. If a specific side feels off, ensure it is correctly positioned in the cot.
Unpleasant odor upon unboxing
Natural materials can sometimes have a slight inherent odor. Air the mattress out in a well-ventilated room for 24-48 hours before use. The odor should dissipate.
Cover doesn't fit after washing
Ensure the cover was washed on a gentle cycle at 30°C and not tumble dried, as high heat can cause shrinkage. Re-zip carefully while the cover is slightly damp if needed.
Visible condensation or dampness
This can occur in humid environments. Ensure the cot is well-ventilated. Wipe any condensation with a dry cloth and allow to air dry completely. Using a breathable mattress protector can help manage moisture.
