It dont really matter.but for peace of mind I'd pay midrange for one.My little one has a mothercare spring interior.It does tend to keep shape better and it is breathable.Foam is ok but i dont think they last as long xx

when i got mine they said foam lasts a year max, but a spring one should last up to 5-7 years (mines a cotbed) and i got one for 70 quid from babies r us, its designed to keep the temperature of baby correct and steady

The foam ones are absolutely rubbish and become indented where baby lies within a few weeks...I've had 3 (cot, crib and moses basket) and it happened with all of them

Definitely a sprung mattress, there are many variations of sprung mattresses too but as long as it's sprung and has a removable, washable top part (in case of accidents, sick, poo etc) then that should be enough. Anti-allergy is very expensive and it's cheaper to buy an anti-allergy mattress protector than the mattress

Great thanks for that i thought sprung would more then likely be best option theres all these different types of things for babies and as its my first im getting confused haha xx

We've gone for a sprung one too - was happy to pay a little more so that it lasts the distance! I've heard foam ones are crap too.

Good question I was wondering about that myself.

Sounds like what we'll get. We've a cotbed and are going to get sprung from same place for same price! I hope you think it's good!

WE have this one, it was recommended in several shops including the place we bought our furniture from. Suitable from newborn.

i have just ordered my cotbed and a sprung mattress from M&P, they last a good few years so im told so paid a bit more for one xxx mine has removable waterproof cover and stuff which i thought may come in handy!! xx

 

[cosmotbear]

I bought sprung too, John Lewis have some good mid-price ones.

Me and my OH want to get a sprung mattress for the cotbed we're getting. It should hopefully last a lot longer than the foam ones and they look better too for bump to sleep on.

I went for a midrange sprung one from Mamas and Papas think it was around £125 reduced to £80 or something like that. The do say they last longer xxxx
