Solid Choice

The Little Green Sheep Natural Twist Cot Mattress earns praise from UK parents for its use of natural, organic materials like wool, cotton, and coconut coir. Many highlight the mattress's breathability, temperature regulation, and lack of harmful chemicals. While some find it a bit heavy and bulky, most agree it provides comfortable, supportive sleep for babies and toddlers. A few caution the non-waterproof cover requires a separate protector, but overall it's seen as a high-quality, eco-friendly choice.

What parents love

Natural, organic materialsParents appreciate that the mattress is made from natural, hypoallergenic materials like wool, cotton, and coconut coir, without any harmful chemicals or fire retardants.
Breathability and temperature regulationThe natural fibres are praised for keeping babies comfortable, with the wool helping to regulate temperature and wick away moisture.
Supportive coconut coreThe coconut coir core provides firm, pressure-relieving support, acting like thousands of tiny springs.

Worth knowing

Weight and bulkSome find the mattress quite heavy and bulky, which can make it difficult to manoeuvre, especially when changing sheets.
Non-waterproof coverThe cover is not waterproof, so parents recommend using a separate mattress protector to prevent damage.
Washing instructionsA few note that the hand-wash only care instructions are inconvenient, especially for busy parents.

Best for

  • Parents seeking an all-natural, eco-friendly cot mattress
  • Babies and toddlers with allergies or sensitivities

May not suit

  • Families with limited storage space or who need to frequently move the mattress
  • Parents who prefer a fully waterproof cover

Tips from parents

Before You Buy

Consider the mattress size and weight to ensure it will fit your cot or cot bed and that you can easily manoeuvre it.

Shopping Tip

Pair the mattress with a waterproof protector to keep it clean and dry, as the cover is not waterproof.

Getting the Most Out of It

Rotate and flip the mattress regularly to promote even wear and maximise its lifespan.

Safety Note

Always use the mattress with a fitted sheet to prevent any risk of suffocation.
