How to choose a mattress for changing?

With the advent of the baby in the family, the measured family life changes: a joyful event entails many unusual problems. The focus is on the child who needs to be provided with everything necessary, while maintaining peace of mind for the whole family. Among the numerous tasks that need to be solved, the important thing is the arrangement of a place for swaddling a child. The use of a bed-sofa or any other unsuitable places for this purpose is inconvenient for high-quality care and does not guarantee the creation of conditions conducive to the health of the baby (an overly soft base, no enclosing barriers preventing the fall), as well as damage to upholstered furniture.

Modern industry produces for these purposes changing tables or chests. However, they occupy a lot of space in the apartment and are quite expensive. A special mattress for swaddling is a more budget option to solve this problem, it will become a real mother's assistant.

Manufacturers offer different models of mattresses:

• with support legs and stands for installation on solid surfaces;
• lining for the chest of drawers;
• stuffed with a solid plywood base.

For the sake of child safety, changing mattresses have bumpers. Usually, these are two side bumpers that prevent a fall when the baby learns to roll over. There are models, supplemented by another upper rim, which becomes relevant if the child crawls on his back, pushing with his feet.

It is important to pay attention to the material from which the mattress is made. It should be as natural as possible, ensuring that the product is environmentally friendly. Due to the nature of its purpose, the product requires frequent washing, so the fabric must be washed well, without losing its quality characteristics, and dry quickly.

When purchasing a product with a film, you should pay attention to the fact that its surface is not sticky or causing allergic reactions.

Rugs with special removable covers made of cotton material are very popular among consumers. The fabric does not cause allergic reactions, pleasant to the touch. The cover is removed, easily erased both manually and in a washing machine. Velcro is provided on the cover for attaching towels to them. This will ensure maximum hygiene care, as the towel can be replaced after each procedure, even without washing the cover.

With the use of modern technologies, the pelenators are made of softening decking in the form of a skylon with a film coating. Skylon - a very elastic material, completely restoring the original form, even with very intense exposure.

No less durable are baby changing mattresses, which use polyester foam as a filler, usually used for orthopedic pillows and mattresses. The advantages of this material include its environmental friendliness and the guarantee that it will not start mites or any other insects.

Parents who spend considerable time on the road or are going to go on a trip with the baby are best to buy a rubber mat. It takes up very little space and is universal for use anywhere. When buying, you should check whether such a mattress is blown away. Some models include a removable cover. In the absence of it in the set, it is desirable to make the cover of natural fabrics, equipping the Velcro for disposable towels.
