One of the most important things when it comes to babies and children is sleep safety. I’m due in less than seven weeks and its one of the main factors on my mind. For this reason, I was very excited to check out the new Silentnight Safe Nights Nursery Collection at the Silentnight Barton Square Arcade store at the Trafford Centre.
Silentnight Barton Square Arcade – The Trafford Centre
I was invited to have a look around the Silentnight store at the Trafford Centre in Manchester to chat about sleep safety and their new Safe Nights Nursery Collection. The store has been open for around a year and is set in a wonderful and easily accessible location. The staff have a none pushy approach and it’s less about upselling and more about meeting the right needs and wants of the customer. I haven’t had much luck with mattresses in the past and I always seem to be talked into buying something that the sales man thinks is right and in reality, it’s entirely wrong. I discussed this with Sonny the store manager who admitted it is a common problem and why they take a different approach.
Cot & Cot Bed Mattresses
When you think about buying a mattress you instantly think of a specialist seller such as Silentnight. Why? Simply because they are the experts and they can offer you the best advice, selection and guidance. So why is it that when we buy a cot mattress it’s not the case? When I bought my sons mattress almost seven years ago we went to a baby store and although the staff were knowledgeable and helpful they weren’t mattress or sleep specialists. Often any questions I had required them to check labels and packaging. When it comes to sleep safety, I want the best just like when I buy a mattress for myself. Silentnight have started selling cot mattresses which makes entire sense to me. You can go in and discuss your requirements with an expert who is completely trained in all aspects of a mattress.

(Read more about each mattress on the Silentnight website here)
All mattresses are made in the UK and tested to the highest standards giving you that sleep safety peace of mind! I had a feel of each mattress and Sonny talked me through the extensive features of each one. Speaking to someone who has knowledge about these products gave me such reassurance and made me feel like I wasn’t choosing blindly. I went for the Safe Nights Superior Pocket as having that double-sided feature will be handy and in regards to price it isn’t much more for the extra benefits that are offered. That being said I would feel comfortable with any of the mattresses as they are all made to such a high sleep safety standard.

The fabric used is breathable which helps babies and little ones regulate their temperature for sleep safety and comfort.
I love the fact the range is available in a gorgeous grey colour making it gender neutral for those like me who didn’t find out their babies’ gender but also for those that want to avoid the standard blues and pinks when it comes to babies. Everything in the range is affordable, well made and easy to wash which is essential when it comes to kids!
