I am browsing nursery mattresses on John Lewis - and my husband is suggesting we go for an organic mattress for the cot bed - as it only costs slightly more than the next one down, which is pocket sprung. However, much as I appreciate it's made from lots of natural fibres (coconut fibre, natural latex, wool, apparently) I can't help thinking that a good old metal spring or two, is going to give more support, which should be the over-riding factor, given it's going to be slept on for a few years - and eventually jumped up and down on - by a toddler. Not that I'm trying to lead the witness.

Views?!

I went for the wool covered one for no.1 and she was v happy with it. In a fit of cost saving I went for the next level down for no.2 and wish I hadn't. It is significantly less padded and I have ended up putting a sheepskin on top of it (this is a pain as it is not the full cot size). This obviously hasn't meant I have bought a new one again for no.2 and he does sleep fine... ;-)
You may also want to check these guys out if organic is an option: http://www.naturalmat.co.uk/ ... although I wonder if they are actually the same product as the John Lewis ones.....spec sounds similar. I'd recommend Natural Mat based on my research into such things!

HI there. You can get both. I got one wool etc without springs for my first as I couldn't find one then. However, I'm pretty sure that the more recent one I've bought is the latex, coir and wool etc with springs.


Find them both great for my little ones - and others who've slept on them when needed.

    • And just by coincidence I tried to scan the cheques in to my account today but the app wouldn't scan so my bank told me I would have to go to a branch or to the post office as they couldn't work out what the problem was. Hah!  
    • No and Wes Streeting is heading in this direction because he knows the NHS is broken and was never built to cope with the demands currently being placed on it. A paid-for approach in some shape or form, and massive reforms, is the only way the NHS can survive - neither of which the left or unions will be pleased about.  
    • Labour talks about, and hopefully will do something about, the determinants of poor health.  They're picked up the early Sunak policy on smoking and vapes.  Let's see how far they tackle obesity and inactivity. I'd rather the money was spent on these any other interventions eg mental health, social care and SEN, rather than seeing the NHS as income generating.
    • I think it's connected with the totem pole renovation celebrations They have passed now, but the notice has been there since then (at least that's when I first saw it - I passed it on the 484 and also took a photo!)
