During the first months of life, babies spend on average between 12 and 16 hours sleeping, which makes it essential that the crib mattress or stroller mattress is a quality mattress that ensures their proper development and growth. A good crib mattress is important for the baby's sleep and health, as well as for the peace of mind and comfort of moms and dads.

The crib mattress or carrycot mattress must provide adequate support that is firm and breathable enough so that the baby is not at any risk of suffocation, and comfortable and adaptable enough so that the baby's body and head do not suffer any pressure and do not lead to cranial deformations such as plagiocephaly.

The Care range Ecus Kids minicot mattresses are the only ones with a health certificate issued by the Spanish Agency of Medicines and Medical Devices (AEMPS) for the prevention of plagiocephaly and suffocation. They are designed and manufactured specifically for newborn babies or those just a few months old. 

A minicot mattress that’s suitable helps prevent health issues such as plagiocephaly, a cranial deformity that can occur when a baby sleeps on a surface that is too flat and firm for long periods of time. Ecus Kids minicot mattresses distribute the baby’s weight evenly, dissipating pressure and helping to prevent plagiocephaly.

To decide which is the best mini crib mattress for your baby, you must ensure that it is neither too firm nor too soft and that it is the right size to fit perfectly in the mini crib, so that the baby cannot get trapped in the edges.

It is important that it is a breathable mattress, both in its fabric and in its foam, so that air circulates freely and prevents the accumulation of bacteria or moisture. The fabrics should also be soft and hypoallergenic to avoid irritation on the baby's skin. And, above all, make sure that it is manufactured respecting quality standards, such as the OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certification that guarantees it does not contain any toxic substances or the health registration.
