Breathable Mattress Protector
Are you a mom or dad? Then you are surely familiar with the many accidents that can occur both in the crib, carrycot, or pram. Accidents like bedwetting, spit-up, etc., can make the baby mattress quite dirty. Later, when the child is learning to sleep without a diaper, it's also quite normal for accidents to happen in bed. Here, a mattress protector is a great supplement. At Cocoon Company, we have a wide selection of breathable and chemical-free mattress protectors for the pram, crib, cot, changing table, etc. The baby mattress protector is available in several sizes, find them all here.

What is a Mattress Protector?
Both big and small can have accidents in bed, and here the mattress protector is a good discreet solution. Cocoon's mattress protector is placed on top of the mattress and under the regular bed sheet to achieve the best comfort for the child. The mattress protector for larger mattresses is fastened with elastics around the corners of the mattress. This way, the sheet is kept well in place throughout the night. Mattress protectors for smaller mattresses, where the child does not move much, i.e., crib, pram, and carrycot, are without elastics.

The challenge with regular mattress protectors is that the body cannot breathe through the waterproof layer. Many therefore find it not very comfortable to sleep on a mattress protector. In the development of Cocoon's mattress protector, it was therefore crucial that the underlay should be breathable and comfortable to lie on. This was achieved by covering our unique breathable membrane with the finest fabric of 100% untreated cotton flannel. The unique membrane prevents liquid from penetrating to the mattress while allowing the body to breathe through the sheet.

Washing the Mattress Protector
It is easy and simple to wash Cocoon's mattress protector. However, we recommend that you only wash your sheet if necessary, to protect the environment. The mattress protector is 100% Oeko-tex certified, which means that the sheet does not contain residues of harmful chemicals that need to be washed away before use.

We recommend washing the sheet at 40 degrees, or a maximum of 60 degrees in case of accidents. Preferably choose a wash program for heavy laundry, as the sheet can become heavy when washed, and therefore some washing machines may have difficulty spinning the sheet. If it has not been possible to spin out the water during the first spin, we recommend extra spinning. Note that the sheet can shrink up to 8-10%.

The mattress protector should be air-dried and must not be tumble dried.

Create an organic and hypoallergenic sleeping environment with kapok

A Cocoon Kapok mattress pad for Stokke Sleepi Mini is the perfect addition to a Stokke Sleepi baby bed if you want a soft and temperature-regulating base. A kapok mattress pad is a soft and protective layer between the mattress and the child. The mattress pad can help your child achieve an enchanting sleep. The kapok mattress pad helps to transport excess heat away from the child and ensures that your child will have an undisturbed, temperature-controlled, and dry sleep.

HYPOALLERGENIC

Kapok contains a natural bitter substance that makes the fiber resistant to bacteria and dust mites.

VEGAN & ORGANIC

Kapok is a fiber collected from kapok trees, which grow wild in the tropical rainforests. Our kapok is untreated, with a cover of 100% organic certified cotton.

TEMPERATURE-REGULATING

Due to the fiber's fantastic breathability and moisture-wicking properties, you will achieve a wonderfully temperature-regulated and dry night's sleep.

GET A GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP WITH A KAPOK MATTRESS PAD

A kapok mattress pad is a great addition to any mattress - whether you have a foam, latex, or kapok mattress. If you tend to get too warm at night, it might be an idea not only to change your duvet but also to use a kapok mattress pad on top of your existing mattress. Foam and latex mattresses are not very breathable or good at temperature regulation, and therefore they can contribute to you getting too warm at night. Hence, it might be an idea to add a moisture-wicking and temperature-regulating layer to your bed.

The mattress pad quickly reaches body temperature, but as soon as the mattress pad is warm, it remains body-neutral due to the fiber's airy structure. The airy structure of the kapok fiber is also the reason why the kapok mattress pad can wick moisture and regulate temperature. A kapok mattress pad can therefore ensure that you do not get too warm and remain dry throughout the night.

Due to kapok's airy structure, the fiber does not absorb moisture but instead transports the moisture through its fibers. This way, your mattress pad stays dry all night. Another advantage is that this property makes the kapok fiber resistant to, among other things, dust mites, as mites can only live in a humid environment.

WHY CHOOSE KAPOK...

The kapok fiber is known for its temperature-regulating and moisture-wicking properties. When you sleep on a kapok mattress, your bed will neither be damp, cold, nor too warm. Another advantage of choosing a kapok mattress is that the kapok fiber is resistant to mites, such as dust mites. They like to live in a damp environment, but since the kapok fiber does not absorb moisture, dust mites cannot live in a kapok fiber. Likewise, our organic cotton cover is woven so tightly that dust mites cannot penetrate. Furthermore, our kapok is 100% organic without the addition of chemicals, pesticides, etc. You can safely tuck your little one into our kapok mattress, knowing that your child is lying on a 100% hypoallergenic mattress.

CREATE A HEALTHY SLEEP ENVIRONMENT WITH KAPOK

Getting a good night's sleep is important for our health. Therefore, we believe it is important to find the sleep products that suit the child's preferences and needs. When you choose sleep products filled with kapok fibers, you are guaranteed a pleasantly tempered and dry night's sleep, with both an organic and hypoallergenic product. To provide your child with the best possible comfort during sleep, you can choose to add a kapok mattress pad to your kapok junior mattress. A kapok mattress is firm. But if you wish to add a little extra softness and comfort, a kapok mattress pad is an ideal choice. To protect your kapok mattresses, we recommend using our organic jersey sheet. The fitted sheet is woven from 100% organic cotton without the addition of synthetic fibers. If you wish to give your child a 100% organic and chemical-free night's sleep, you can also supplement with one of our duvets and pillows. All our series are 100% organic and chemical-free. See our duvet guide to find out which duvet and pillow your child should have.

MAINTAINING YOUR KAPOK MATTRESS

As with all mattresses, it is a good idea to stand the mattress on its side occasionally to air it out. If you have a bed with a solid base, you should be particularly attentive to airing the mattress regularly. These bed bases make it harder to transport moisture away from the mattress. Kapok transports moisture and heat away from the child, but if the moisture cannot escape from the bottom of the mattress, it gets trapped between the mattress and the solid base. In the worst case, this can lead to mold spores forming under the mattress. Unfortunately, this can happen with any mattress. Therefore, air the mattress once a week or as needed.
