I am browsing nursery mattresses on John Lewis - and my husband is suggesting we go for an organic mattress for the cot bed - as it only costs slightly more than the next one down, which is pocket sprung. However, much as I appreciate it's made from lots of natural fibres (coconut fibre, natural latex, wool, apparently) I can't help thinking that a good old metal spring or two, is going to give more support, which should be the over-riding factor, given it's going to be slept on for a few years - and eventually jumped up and down on - by a toddler. Not that I'm trying to lead the witness.

Views?!

I went for the wool covered one for no.1 and she was v happy with it. In a fit of cost saving I went for the next level down for no.2 and wish I hadn't. It is significantly less padded and I have ended up putting a sheepskin on top of it (this is a pain as it is not the full cot size). This obviously hasn't meant I have bought a new one again for no.2 and he does sleep fine... ;-)
You may also want to check these guys out if organic is an option: http://www.naturalmat.co.uk/ ... although I wonder if they are actually the same product as the John Lewis ones.....spec sounds similar. I'd recommend Natural Mat based on my research into such things!

HI there. You can get both. I got one wool etc without springs for my first as I couldn't find one then. However, I'm pretty sure that the more recent one I've bought is the latex, coir and wool etc with springs.


Find them both great for my little ones - and others who've slept on them when needed.

    • Hi all, Wondering if anyone else in/around SE22 is also having the unfortunate luck of having Evri parcels delivered by a very rude individual? Whenever we have parcels delivered, our front gate is being slammed open and closed, ring doorbell is harshly banged (not pressed) followed by simultaneously banging on the door knocker and slamming the letter box multiple times. Someone is normally home by the time they come in the evening and never has to wait long for an answer. If we’re not home, we speak to them on the doorbell so we do find the actions of this individual unreasonable and rude.  We have tried a couple of times politely asking that they not do this but they are very dismissive and gives a passive-aggressive “have a nice day” reply.  Has anyone been able to contact Evri and successfully had any issues similar to this resolved? We have enough evidence through our doorbell footage but we are lost with what else we can do. We’ve tried asking politely but don’t want our gate or door damaged by someone who simply doesn’t care and lacks basic manners.    If anyone else is having this issue or has any advice on how we can report this, it would be much appreciated. After another dismissive reply to my concern this afternoon, I will be calling Evri tomorrow to raise a complaint. I have lost my patience with them 
    • Corbyn was unelectable - he got trashed by Boris who was a buffoon. It was a good job too because I would have hated to see Corbyn and his rag-tag bunch of far-left university politics backbenchers try to lead the country through Covid.  It is completely understandable why Starmer and the Labour Party want to purge Momentum from within their ranks and Cllr McAsh has fallen victim of that.
