I agree. Its def best to get new mattresses in my opinion. We have 2nd hand basinette and cot too, got a innersprung mattress from Farmers sale (well my dad did) and my basinette mattress was $24.95 from baby factory. Its an oval material mattress and I just got a protective plastic cover that goes over it that is supposed to reduce cot death risks. I think that was $30 as well.....]]> Sun, 28 Mar 2010 11:34:22 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32329&PID=981825&title=mattresses#981825 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32329&PID=971070&title=mattresses#971070 Author: kebakat

Bassinette matresses are really cheap so why not get one. I think one that fits ours was $30 or something like that

I think the main difference in cot matresses is foam vs innersprung. Foam matresses are gonna be cheaper as there isn't much to them. I think it comes down to preference really cause both work fine. Foam you just have to rotate/flip it more often. We personally went for a cheap innersprung which out of all the matresses available including foam was probably mid price range.]]> Wed, 17 Mar 2010 19:47:11 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32329&PID=971070&title=mattresses#971070 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32329&PID=971056&title=mattresses#971056 Author: Demelza

We were lucky enough to be given a cot AND a bassinet... but we need to buy a new mattress for the cot. Should we also buy a new one for the bassinet? I read somewhere you should buy a new mattress for each new baby, but I'm not sure how true this is?

Also, there seems to be a huge range of price in mattresses - what's the difference between different types and which is best?]]> Wed, 17 Mar 2010 19:39:45 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32329&PID=971056&title=mattresses#971056
