Moses basket mattress protector

A mattress protector for your moses basket is essential as the covering on most mattresses are not waterproof. Whether it is a leaky nappy or posseting a safe and effective moses basket mattress protector will save your moses basket bedding from getting wet, potentially staining and damaging the mattress.

It's important the liquids do not get a chance to enter the mattress as they can be difficult to clean and it means your mattress will be out of action. Fluids such as vomit or posseting milk can cause rapid bacterial growth causing a danger to your baby.

When our children were smaller we kept two protectors so we could change them over at night with minimal fuss. Oftentimes if your baby has an accident and you removed the fitted sheet and mattress protector and replace it with a clean moses basket fitted sheet you can bet the same thing will happen again soon after and end up wetting the mattress because you've put your only protector in the wash.

I asked Little Green Sheep directly about the safety and breathability of their mattress protector and they told me 'It is all woven together, so the whole item is breathable'.

It is more expensive than the generic protectors you can buy but it costs more to make a protector that is compliant and safe for babies. If you are at all concerned about safety then the Little Green Sheep Organic mattress protector is for you.

Moses basket mattress protectors for small moses basket mattresses tend to be 67cm x 30cm or 68 x 30cm in size although some can be slightly smaller measuring 66cm x 28cm. Many of the protectors will fit slightly smaller mattresses but if the mattress is too large the fitted mattress protectors may be too tight.

Fitted means that they are more likely to stay in place and not move around whilst the flat mattress protectors are more flexible in that they can fit a wider variety of sizes.
