The difference between the Care mattress and the Care Ultimate mattress lies in the materials and fabrics used. The Care Ultimate mattress is even more breathable, cooler and drier than the Care mattress. Its fabric with Xtra Cool technology made of cold thread, offers a feeling of coolness that does not generate heat, dissipates moisture, and helps regulate temperature. The foam core is also more breathable, as it is very porous and open, and does not retain moisture, keeping the baby dry.

As for functionality, it is the same: both are anti-flat head syndrome mattresses because they reduce pressure on the baby's head by up to 70%, preventing positional plagiocephaly and improving it if the baby already suffers from it. Both are very safe mattresses and also avoid any risk of suffocation. Both have the health certificate from the Spanish Agency of Medicines and Health Products.

Ecus Kids mattresses are designed for optimal breathability. Using a mattress protector is not necessary, but it is normal for many moms and dads to feel more at ease if you use one.

Naturally, any protector or sheet placed between the mattress and the baby will reduce the breathability properties of the mattress. That is why we recommend using a mattress protector that is as breathable as possible, allowing air to circulate well between its fibers in order to minimize the reduction of breathability properties of the mattress.

At Ecus Kids, we have the waterproof Soft fitted sheet. This super soft sheet to the touch of your baby's skin allows for air circulation and the expulsion of CO2, thus avoiding any risk. You will achieve better maintenance of the mattress, as it will remain dry and ready for the baby to sleep without moisture and without unwanted stains.

To know what the ideal mattress size is, we recommend measuring the interior space of the crib beforehand. Some manufacturers design their cribs with spaces smaller than the published size. That is, even if the crib size is 120×60 cm, it is advisable to measure the interior space to confirm the usable area. If after measuring, the space is slightly smaller or you want more room to dress the crib, then you should choose the size 117×57 cm.

In the mini cribs or bassinets, the size is usually standardized. A variation of a centimeter more or less is negligible, the mattress will adapt to the
mini crib thanks to the flexible materials it is made of.

In case you need a special size, we could custom-make the Care mattress, both for crib and mini crib and bassinet.

For children's mattresses, choose the same size as the base or bed frame that you are going to use. In these models, we do not have custom manufacturing.

The foam core of the mini crib and carrycot mattresses, as well as the foam of the topper (top part) of the Care and Care Ultimate crib mattresses, can be hand washed with cold water.

The washing machine on a short program can also be used for delicate items with cold water (no more than 30 ºC), neutral detergent, and no fabric softeners. Do not spin to avoid damaging the foam.

For drying, place the foam horizontally and never hold it with clips, as it could tear. Do not use a dryer or any other heat source (hair dryer, radiators, etc.). Air dry and do not expose to sunlight.

It can take up to 48 hours for the foam to dry completely. Before placing it back inside the cover, make sure it is completely dry.

It is not recommended to wash the foam bases of the crib and maxi crib mattresses.
