- Place a large piece of stiff card or paper onto a firm and flat cutting surface. This is what you will make your template from.
- Place your existing mattress on top of the card, ensuring the mattress doesn’t overlap the edge of the card.
- Using a pencil, carefully trace around the outline of the mattress, creating a template on the card. Please ensure that this template exactly matches the shape of the old mattress.
- Once you have the template, measure the width and length (in cm). Using a pen, write the width and length on the template.
- With these measurements, select your chosen mattress in the size above the templated measurements. For example, if your template measures 55cm x 115cm, order a mattress in cot size 60cm x 120cm.
- Beneath the size selection, tick the checkbox “Made To Measure”, and add the words ‘Template to follow’ in the box provided, with details of the dimensions you require.
Once you are happy to proceed, place your order. Please write your order number and the name and contact number associated with the order, next to the dimensions on the template (this is so that when your template arrives at our workshop, we know who it’s from).
Fold the template, taking care not to rip or distort the edges, and mail it to the following address (we recommend using a Signed For delivery service for traceability):
FAO Jon (Production), Naturalmat, Unit 2-3 Mordicus House, Odhams Wharf, Topsham, EX3 0PB
Once we have received your template, we will carefully craft a new mattress to perfectly fit your little one’s crib or cot within our stated lead times, which is 10-15 working days for made-to-measure mattresses. If you need your mattress sooner, please get in touch with our team at nursery@naturalmat.co.uk, and we will do everything we can to speed up production for you.
Please note that during busy times, we cannot guarantee an expedited production of made-to-measure mattresses if we await a template. We do not take responsibility for templates lost in transit.
