Great question! Here’s what works well in the UK:
Mattress types: Stick to 10–15 cm firm foam, coconut fibre or natural latex — breathable, easy to move/flip, and no springs to get damaged flat on the floor. Must‑have: removable/washable cover + good airflow.
Top brands:
• IKEA – Minnesund / Skönst – budget, reliable, easy‑care
• The Little Green Sheep / Cuckooland – organic, best airflow, anti‑mould
• Silentnight / Argos Safe Nights – good mid‑range toddler‑friendly
• Sweetnight / Best Price Mattress (Amazon) – great value
💡 Quick tip: Pop it on a breathable mat/rug, lift/tilt daily to air out, and keep thickness under ~15 cm so it’s easier to handle!
