Natural cot mattresses are definitely the way forward! - unless you want your room smelling of cheap foam and chemicals!All I would say though is check that the cot mattress has some certification that it is genuinely chemical free - beware of 'natural cot mattresses' - essentially, these 'natural' cot mattresses can still have chemicals in them, as they are not certified. To ensure the cot mattress is actually chemical free you need to find one that is certified organic.For what its worth, the only one I know of is and use on my baby girl is one from Little Green Sheep. Their cot mattresses are brilliant, and they are the only ones certified organic - I actually found them through the Soil Association - but more importantly, she sleeps right through ...most of the time!
I had this question about cot mattresses about a year ago too, theres sooooo many to choose from!!! But after doing some research its actually quite obvious theres a big difference between natural cot mattresses and organic ones. Basically natural cot mattresses arent a bad place to start, they're much better than sprung cot mattresses or those horrible foam cot mattresses...urrghh!!!! Who buys those!?!? But in my opinion the organic cot mattresses are the ones to look for as a 'natural cot mattress' just means the cot mattress is made from natural materials but doesnt mean that those materials are chemical free...so it could still have chemicals in it and have been sprayed with fire proofing chemicals, herbicides, pesticides etc...whereas organic cot mattresses have to have been certified to be called this, and so check they state 'certified organic' somewhere in the info or ask them for certification as they should have this; as it means one of the big independent bodies (soil association etc) has checked the cot mattress materials to make sure all the materials in the cot mattress are chemical free etc and from one of their approved sources. The only one I could find (and the one I bought) is The Little Green Sheep's organic cot mattresses as a friend recommended them to me (www.thelittlegreensheep.co.uk) as she bought her cot bed mattress from them and I must say, it is very very good...well, the little one thinks so anyway...and so therefore so do I! !!!!

I had this same question and someone at John Lewis told me they were indeed the exact same mattress manufactured at the same place but the only difference is the John Lewis organic cot bed mattress is just branded differently - and is much more expensive! If I were you I'd go for The Little Green Sheep mattress as it also comes with a 5 year guarantee etc. PS: They're great mattresses wherever you get it from!
