how to care for your mattress? Our natural materials such as 100% certified organic wool filling, pure plant based latex and organic cotton and linen will all allow air and moisture to move through the mattress. To ensure it breathes please follow these instructions: Turn your moses and bassinet mattresses over, rotate from end to end weekly. This maintains loft and ensures moisture is not trapped. Do not use directly on the floor. Air all mattresses regularly, in the sun if possible, or in winter in a warm dry room. Please air frequently during winter months when rooms are damper and less ventilated. The mattress may be spot cleaned with warm water and put in the sunshine to dry. Please ensure the mattress is thoroughly dry before use. Our mattresses are not treated with chemicals for shrinkage so should not be machine washed, dry cleaned or spun dry.
