Little Green Sheep's Mattress Protector Review

Did you know a baby spends on average 18 hours a day sleeping?

Are you looking for your baby to enjoy a comfy sleep?

We were recently sent a Little Green Sheep organic mattress protector for Maxwell to try. Not only do they protect your baby's mattress from any accidents but also provide a barrier against dust mites. 

Maxwell was recently ill and I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to start using the mattress protector in case Maxwell had any accidents in the night. 

When fitting the sheet onto Maxwell's mattress I found that the protector fitted well. I was slightly worried that the protector didn't tuck under the mattress and it would move around if Maxwell wiggled but I was worrying over nothing as once the protector was on, it did not move.

Unfortunately Maxwell was sick during the night but luckily the protector proved that it could absorb well and saved Maxwell's mattress for any stains and wetness. 

I took the protector straight off and began to clean the protector with a wet cloth and some fairy liquid. I found it was easy to clean and once having washed it in my washing machine I found that it had held its shape and had not bubbled.

My overall thought was that the protector was great. It was very soft for Maxwell to sleep on and was not the old plastic crinkly sheet you would normally find to protect a mattress. It washes well and would be a great addition to any babies bed. 

The Little Green Sheep mattress protector is a thick, unbleached, organically grown cotton sheet which has thin polyurethane waterproof layer. It is available in a variety of sizes to fit. It will fit a Single bed (90x190cm), cot (60x120cm), cot bed (70x140cm), moses basket (35x65cm), carrycot or pram (30x70cm )and crib (40x80cm). Prices range from £9.99 and go up to the price of £39.99. 

The Little Green Sheep company promises that all of their products are free from chemicals, have sustainability and are made with quality. The Little Green Sheep are so confident that there products work they offer a 30 day money back guarantee so you can be sure that what you buy is perfect for you and your baby.

Overall I would rate The Little Green Sheeps mattress protector 5/5.

I did not receive any financial reward for writing this review.

However we did receive the product for review purposes. Everything written in this post is my own, honest opinion.

A Week Of Learning And New Experiences

Maxwell has been waving

Maxwell loves to make things

1. Maxwell took his 1st trip to Toys R Us.
2. Maxwell loves to play ball.
3. Maxwell loves to stack.
4. Maxwell loves to wave.
5. We have been busy crafting.

This week we visited Toys R Us. I am normally a bit sceptical of going to toy stores as I remember as a child I would always want something and I would make my parents buy me it so I expect Maxwell to be the same however Maxwell was as good as gold and we picked up some bits for him. 

Maxwell was treated to a huge Little Tikes Carrier and 2 playskool toys which have gone into the Christmas/Birthday box I am sure he will enjoy them when he gets the chance to play with them.

Maxwell has been charging around a lot recently. He has learnt to run and since he has learnt he can not stop. He loves to run around the house mainly whilst throwing his ball we bought him. His throwing skills are great and he can throw quite far considering how small he is.

Maxwell loves to stack things. We bought him some blocks to stack this week, where he has to match shapes together and colours however he also loves to stack books and toys including his Playmobil cars.

Maxwell has masted waving. He loves to wave at people if they say "Hiya" or "Cya" but he also likes to wave at people on TV of they are waving or people in the street. He always thinks its very amusing. 

Finally Maxwell and I have been busy crafting this week. We have made lots of things including badges with our badge it we were sent to review but we also have been drawing and creating toilet roll characters to go with Maxwell's books when I read him a story.
