Waterproof covers

I would like to know how a natural fibre cot mattress can wick if you put a waterproof cover on. Surely it makes the natural fibres useless so you might as well get a foam top

Hi Rachel,
 
Thank you for your question.
 
Our Cot Mattresses have a water resistant cover not waterproof which is breathable. This means that if there was an accident this would need to be mopped up within a few hours otherwise the spillage would seep through the cover and into the natural fillings. It is then covered with a microfibre pinsonic zipped cover adding a final soft layer to the mattress. This is machine washable at 60degrees.
 
I hope this assists but if you do have any further queries please do not hesitate to telephone our office on 0161 437 4419.
 
Kind regards Julie
