My son had a organic cotbed mattress from naturalmat which was lovely so now he's moved to a single bed wanted him to have another. I went for little green sheep natural single described as medium firm. When it arrived it is rock hard, my son cried when he lay on it, seriously if you sit on it it doesn't give at all. I rang the supplier who advised me to make sure it was the right way up and it should relax after a week or so but unfortunately it feels as hard as ever to me. £350 is a lot of money to pay for such an uncomfortable mattress.

Just wanted to say a big thank you to Little Green Sheep for great customer service and amazing product! I was looking for mattress for 2 months and had very difficult time choosing the right one since I am expecting my first child. I decided to purchase Twist Mattress for Cot Bed 60x120cm and was very happy with the product. A big thank you for fast payment option, many confirmation emails and delivery updates. My order arrived within few days and I was informed on what is happening to my order all the way! The mattress was nicely wrapped and was exactly how it is described on the website. This is the best value mattress I saw so far considering it is 100% cotton on the outside and 100% natural materials on the inside I was very happy with it. I believe it is worth paying £150 for 100% natural product which is chemical free than £130 for Mothercare's synthetic one...

I ordered a cot mattress protector from this company. It came to light that it was out of stock. I emailed them several times to check when it would be delivered but they did not reply to my emails until I raised a claim in paypal (my chosen payment method) at which point they emailed me and stated they had previous emailed me and called me. I can assure you they did not. Furthermore after losing my patience with the company and requesting a refund, it took 3 further emails for this to happen. I think this company must be one person with a back room spare who is punching above their weight. If you are happy to deal with amateurs then order from them, else avoid at all costs.

The first thing I noticed when I opened the mattress was it didn't have that 'new' smell - i.e. it didn't smell of chemicals and foams, just a reassuring smell of wool. I opted for the twist mattress as it's chemical free and we have a cot bed and so wanted something that will provide the right support for both new born and when the child is 5 or 6 and the 5 year guarantee is what sold it to me really. The price seems competitive but not cheap however we decided it was worth it as it will last a lot longer than a cheaper foam or sprung mattress. Over all we are really pleased with the mattress and it feels so comfortable yet firm and the idea that there are zero chemicals in it is such a great reassurance. I can only highly recommend it.

I managed to convince my husband to splash out on The Little Green Sheep Twist cot bed Mattress and thank goodness they didn't let me down or I would have been eating my words! Simply top quality and no chemicals which from what my research brought up, only little green sheep achieve (watch out for other 'natural' cot mattresses claiming this...many still used fire chemicals!). So happy hubby and happy baby, I can't recommend this enough. Jess

I just wanted to write a review to help other mums out there as I spent ages looking around. There's so many natural products that aren't truly natural and loads of conflicting advice. After a lot of searching I found The Little Green Sheep mattresses in a store in London and they're exactly what I was looking for. They're chemical free and were nice and comfortable and supportive and the one I bought had a five year guarantee. the mattress arrived and is just brilliant and my baby sleeps extremely well on it. In short we're over the moon and would highly recommend this mattress to anyone out there looking for a high quality, reasonably priced and safe mattress.

I waited in for 2 long consecutive days for a moses basket that my wife ordered online and was promised between 9 and 5 on the previous day If you then add into the mix a delivery company with an 0871 premium rate number (yodel) where you get charged every time you ring them to beg for some sort of meaningful update and it is salt & wounds territory It might be the fault of their delivery company but LGS are responsible for the delivery service they provide and at the time were unable to provide a meaningful update That said - the goods finally arrived after 6pm on the second day, the moses basket is very nice and LGS kindly offered a discount on a future purchases However having lost two days of my life that I will never get back, I'm not sure I am prepared to risk that happening again (!)

Hi, my name is Mark Nicholls and I am one of the co-founders of The Little Green Sheep. Having read this review I am obviously disapointed with the feedback. We always strive for excellent customer service and feedback is crucial to help us improve as a company. Despite the problems we had with our courier on this occasion, we were in constant contact with both the customer and courier company to ensure the parcel got delivered later that evening. The Little Green Sheep has now switched to a new delivery company to ensure that problems like this do not occur again, and we now looking to implement a guaranteed pre-12 and pre-10 service option on all mattress and mose basket orders to UK mainland addresses.

Bought from a small local store in West London, felt the little samples and thought it sounded like a great idea to keep things natural. Loved the dual firmness of the twist mattress too. I opted to have mine delivered to my house as didn't want to carry it, it arrived 2 days later and it really is a lovely mattress - I wonder if they do adult sizes!!! :-) I've had it for 6 months now and it's a great mattress and my baby sleeps very well on it so I'm a happy Mummy! Happy to recommend.

I didn't buy the organic one, i bought their basic natural coconut one and its fantastic. i bought the basic one because i only have a cot and the sprung mattress that came free is rubbish and sagged almost instantly. This one however seems nice and firm and springy and the quilted cover is really soft. I ordered it on Wednesday morning and it arrived the next day which i thought was pretty good considering it's not the smallest of items! I bought the Great mattress, really good price. very happy!

I can now sympathise with all mums and dads out there! We are expecting our first child in a few months and it is unbelievable how confusing the world of prams, mattresses and cots is! Anyway to be honest the reason we went with this mattress (in addition to the good reviews) is just because the website and service was simply and clear...music to my ears at the time! But obviously the quality was important to us and we decided to bite the bullet and get something which hopefully will last 4-5 years. So if you are a fellow confused dad to be then these are the people for you!
Like Moneysupermarket always say....haggle! They gave us 5% because we ended u getting the Ryeland cot bed, mattress and organic moses basket which I thought was fair. So worth a try if only for a few quid saved :-) www.thelittlegreensheep.co.uk or try www.johnlewis.co.uk
Happy searching! Tristan

Absolutely head and shoulders above any other cot mattress out there - I wish we'd found this before our first sprog was born; sadly she slept (quite badly) on an over priced sprung one from a large national retailer where we bought the nursery furniture from. But with our second child she sleeps on this mattress and she sleeps much better and for longer, obviously this may not be solely down to the cot mattress but the quality of this product and the fact it doesnt stink of chemicals is definately having an effect. The main reason we bought was because of the 5 year guarantee, but the quality of the mattress is just so so good even without the guarantee we'd highly recommend it, but with that guarantee it really is hard to beat.
Hope it helps!
Peter.

I bought this mattress last year and it really is brilliant - only down side is they don't do adult sizes!!! My charlie sleeps through and it still looks brand new. Definitely get their protector though-much better than horrible plastic ones.
Great mattress, great support, great service. Best mattress out there by a long way! Highly recommended!

Hi yes I agree with all the comments so far, it really is an excellent mattress (I have the moses basket mattress and the cot bed mattress for our cot bed). We've had the cot bed mattress for around 4 years now since they first started and it is still in great shape! We are going to use our Moses basket mattress again - i know people recommend not to but that's for the cheap foam ones I don't see why we can't re-use our organic wool and cotton one!
Definately ask for free delivery - it depends whether they have a promotion on but sometimes they do
Cheers
Dom

Just brill quality, a really nice company who actually like listening and talking to their customers! No telephone systems, straight through to a cot mattress advisor! Why can't everyone do this?
You won't be let down by this chemical free cot mattress - jessica is sleeping...like a baby!
Thank you
Mia

As most people have said, The Little Green Sheep Organic Cot Bed Mattress is exceptional quality and support, however initial cost is a fair bit more. I spoke with Mark who after some persuading gave me free delivery, which is worth haggling for as it is normally £10 so give it a go.
I'd strongly recommend this to anyone purchasing a cot mattress, it will last forever and whether you're 'green' or 'ethical' or not the fact it is made in the UK and chemical free is a great reassurance!

The Little Green Sheep Organic Cot Bed Mattress is a brilliant Product. I heard about them at a local NCT group years ago and my little one is now 3 years old and the mattress is still perfect, no sagging etc, and looks like it'll go for another 3 years easily!
Highly Recommended.
