- Short Answer: Technically, no, but it’s highly recommended.
- The Newton Difference: Newton mattresses are famous for their breathable design. The whole mattress is washable to prevent bacteria and mold buildup.
- Why You Should Use a Cover
- Mess Protection: Babies have accidents! A cover protects the mattress from spills and stains.
- Easy Cleanup: Throw the cover in the wash instead of cleaning the whole mattress.
- Comfort: A soft cover adds a cozy layer for your baby.
What to Look for in a Newton Mattress Cover
- Breathability: Choose a cover designed for breathability to keep the safety benefits of the Newton mattress. Newton sells their own covers for this reason!
- Fit: A snug fit prevents bunching and wrinkles, which can be uncomfortable.
- Easy Washing: Look for machine-washable fabrics.
Extra Tip: Have at least two covers on hand so you always have a clean one ready!
