FAQ

Does this mattress contain any animal products?

No. The Mother Nurture Classic Eco Fibre range is 100% vegan. It uses polyester fibres derived from recycled sources and contains no wool, silk, or animal-derived glues, making it an ethical choice for vegan families.

Is it better than a foam mattress?

It depends on your priorities, but from an ethical and health perspective, yes. Fibre mattresses are more breathable than standard foam and do not require the same level of chemical flame retardants, as the polyester is naturally less flammable and VOC-free.

Can the cover be machine washed?

Yes, the mattress features a removable, quilted cover that can be machine washed at 40°C. This is essential for maintaining hygiene in a nursery environment and prolonging the life of the fibre core.
