Rank #4 in Best Cot Mattress 2026: 10 Ranked, One Model at Two Prices
MHG Textiles Cot Bed Mattress, 140x70x15cm, 4-Layer
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
MHG Textiles' four-layer cot bed mattress sits at number four in our cot mattress guide, and it is the cheaper half of the strangest pair in the set. This listing carries model number MHG-COT-MATTRESS at £47.17 with 186 ratings. A second listing carries the same model number at £56.17 with 32 ratings, the same 140x70x15cm size, the same four-layer thermal-bonded-fibre construction and the same 'PU Waterproof, Noiseless Sleep' feature line. Nothing in either spec table explains where the extra £8.99 goes.
On its own numbers it is a 15cm-thick mattress listed as Firm, with a polyester cover, a zipped machine-washable cover and a stated weight of 2.2kg, rated 4.4 out of 5 by 186 buyers. Two details are worth flagging rather than repeating. The rating breakdown supplied with this listing runs 72 / 11 / 11 / 1 / 5, which adds up to 100 and not to 186 — read as percentages it lands exactly on 4.4, read as counts against 186 ratings it does not. Separately, the comfort layer material field reads Cotton while the cover material and material type fields on the same page both read Polyester. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing, not from any mattress we have tested ourselves.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“Great thickness, we matched it with an habitat bed for my son as he grows taller and I must say that I am impressed with the quality, after researches. The user is very satisfied after questioning in the morning, as reliable as it can be I can see the way he sleeps and it makes me think its comfy enoughI chose the 15cm version and it really delivers, not too firm, not too soft, just there.”
Verified purchase“I'm really happy with this cot bed mattress. It's firm and supportive, which is exactly what I wanted for my baby's spine development. The hypoallergenic and breathable materials give me peace of mind, and the waterproof feature is a lifesaver for little accidents. I also love that the cover is removable and washable—so practical! It fits the cot perfectly and feels very good quality. Highly recommend for both newborns and toddlers.”

The stated size, layer count, fill material and feature line are the same in both, so the difference is £8.99 with nothing in the spec tables to show for it.
How firm is this mattress?
MHG Textiles lists the firmness description as Firm and says the design gives spinal support and a 'firm and supportive' feel. The fill is thermal bonded fibre across four layers, which the listing says helps the mattress keep its shape as your baby grows.
Will it fit a standard cot bed?
The listing gives the size as 140 x 70 x 15 cm and states that the MHG Textiles mattress is designed to fit standard cot beds. Your cot bed's internal measurements are the ones that matter.
Is the cover waterproof and washable?
Yes. The listing describes a protective PU waterproof layer and a zipped cover that is machine washable; the care instructions field simply reads Machine Wash. The cover material is listed as Polyester.
Why does it arrive flat?
It is compressed and roll-packed for delivery. The listing asks you to allow 48 to 72 hours for it to return to its normal shape, and notes that it can be used while it recovers.
Does the 4.4 rating come from 186 reviews?
The listing reports 186 ratings and an average of 4.4. The breakdown supplied with it — 72 / 11 / 11 / 1 / 5 — totals 100, so as counts it does not reach 186; as percentages it does average 4.4.
