Organic coir filled natural mattresses are hot with babies in the UK ?

Issued by: SABC Education team

 

The SABC Education team, embarked on their annual visit to the UK and Europe to gauge what the latest gadgets, gizmos and fashions were in the parenting and baby market.

 

Just recently returned from their visit to Exel London, there was a marked growth in the organic category relating to diapers, clothing, bedding and baby food. Clearly parents are taking heed of the organic way of life, which is enveloping as a lifestyle as opposed to a fashion trend.

 

We found many fantastic products, but among some of our great discoveries was the natural mattress. This handmade natural mattress, filled with organic coir (coconut husks) provides a supportive and breathable mattress perfect for newborns. The coir is wrapped in soft lambs wool treated with lavender, lemon and eucalyptus extracts to render it anti-dust mite. Wool is an excellent thermal insulator ensuring the mattress is cosy in winter and cool in summer. Alongside the mattress, a range of organic cot blankets, flannel fitted sheets, free from any bleaches or dyes but fully machine washable and tumble-dryer safe, were great finds.
