West Country mattress makers, Naturalmat, are celebrating today after winning silver in the ‘Best Natural Product’ category at the 2017 Mother & Baby Awards.

Rigorously tested by mums,  Naturalmat’s Quilted Coco Mat Cot Mattress proved a hit with parents who loved the hand-made and organic mattress which is naturally anti dust mite, chemical free, non-toxic and naturally fire retardant.

Hand-made in Topsham, Devon using breathable materials including locally-sourced organic lamb’s wool, the baby mattress offers proper support for baby, with four of the five testers saying it helped their baby to have a better night’s sleep.

One of the mum’s who tested the mattress is Devon parenting blogger Ali Chapman who said: “I discovered Naturalmat a few months ago and have never looked back. My son has slept so much better on this mattress. Knowing it's all natural is a huge relief and being able to use it straight away was a big bonus as there's no nasty chemical smells.

Natural baby products are made by just a handful of companies in the UK despite recognition of the health benefits and increasing interest from parents hoping to avoid chemicals in the products that their little ones are exposed to. Acknowledging this, Mother & Baby introduced the new ‘Best Natural Product’ award for the first time this year.

Commenting on the win, Nursery Marketing Manager for Naturalmat, Rachel O’Connor said: “To have a local, hand-made product recognised on the national stage is brilliant news for us and the region. We are very proud to produce the best natural mattresses for babies and children and are delighted that so many mums agree.
