Soft changing mats for your baby

Changing mats are not only functional, they can also be colourful, chequered or embroidered with funny patterns. They are nothing more than practical pads for changing the baby and belong to the important baby textiles. 

A changing mat usually consists of a padded, soft, waterproof ticking and a removable or washable cover. Just in case something goes wrong.

The fabric should be made of high-quality cotton so that your baby is not only soft but also really comfortable. Most changing pads have a raised edge, which provides a feeling of security and safety.

There are many different covers that fit a ticking. The only important thing here is to pay attention to the size and width of the ticking or the changing mattress in order to find a suitable cover.

Many manufacturers offer other baby textiles to match the changing pad, such as crawling blankets, baby bedding or baby nests. It is up to you to decide whether you would like to have everything "all in one" or whether you would like other combinations. 

Changing mats fit to or on top of changing tables or chests of drawers that have a corresponding top or also simple chests of drawers that offer a suitable lying surface. In any case, the height should be comfortable to prevent backache. The surface should also be firm and straight, and a non-slip mat can provide additional safety.  

It is also important that everything you need when changing diapers is within reach. So make sure you have enough storage space for nappies, baby care products, towels and baby clothes.
