Why a New Mattress Matters
Thinking of reusing a cot, or got a second-hand Moses basket? While many baby items can be passed down safely, The Lullaby Trust recommends a new mattress for each baby. At Bumpstart, we offer made-to-measure replacement mattresses in any shape or size — helping you create a safe, comfortable sleep space that fits perfectly.

In this post, we’ll walk you through why weeks 20–28 often feel like the sweet spot – and why, no matter where you're at in your pregnancy, there’s no such thing as “too early” or “too late” with us. 💛
