A changing mat should be practical so that changing is easier. Of course, there are also differences, especially as far as the material is concerned. Therefore, everyone must inform themselves before the purchase once exactly, so that then the best choice can be made.

Differences in the changing pad

The biggest differences here are in the material, because a support for winding must be able to withstand a lot. There are mainly two species here, one is a changing mat covered with a kind of plastic. The other species is cotton, both having their advantages and disadvantages. The one with the plastic film feels cold, which is very unpleasant for many parents and children. Therefore, there is the edition additionally still with a cotton cover, which can be washed then additionally still. The cotton changing mat already feels much better here, but can soak quickly. Therefore, this changing mat must be washed more frequently, which in some cases is too time-consuming. For those who don’t like plastic or cotton changing mat, there is also a mat with textile surfaces. Here the requirements consist of pure cotton or a cotton blend, whereby the fabrics have been specially treated. This means that the changing mat can be washed off easily, which is a major advantage over the other mattresses. This fabric feels warm to the touch and is also very easy to keep clean. As a rule, these coatings consist of polyethylene or polyurethane. However, the exact details are often missing here, which can then unsettle many consumers. Many parents don’t necessarily want to bring their children into contact with harmful plasticizers, but some diaper changing pads have already been tested for this. Therefore, such a changing mat can also be bought quietly, because the manufacturers are here but we’ve kept to the book. But if you really want to be on the safe side, you should use a changing mat made of organic cotton. These do not have to be more expensive than normal diaper changing pads, but here the child is not exposed to any harmful substances. So here are three editions that are very popular with customers.

Changing mat made of organic cotton

Öko-Test has a clear test winner here, which puts the parents on the safe side. The test winner was the Prolana BOBO changing mat, made of 100% organic cotton. The support can be washed at 60 degrees with the elevations at the back and sides removed. These are not washable and in the edition there are extra zippers to remove the bulges. Otherwise it is about quilted 100 % organic cotton, which makes it absolutely free of harmful substances. The size of the changing mat is 75 X 85 cm, but the size will change with the first wash. Since the changing mat is made of 100% organic cotton and has not been treated with chemical agents, it will shrink somewhat during the first wash. The manufacturer draws attention to this fact in order to avoid any misunderstandings. That’s the manufacturer’s essential information about the Prolana changing mat, which has won at least completely without harmful substances and even the Ökotest test. Now customers can share their experiences and whether the changing mat also meets their expectations. Of course, the customers were happy to do that, but often the expectations are higher than the product can offer. The Prolana changing mat is not very cheap with about 60 Euro, whereby the safety of the children can cost a little more.

Very good workmanship

The customers agreed on this, and then the voices diverged. The majority of the customers are very satisfied with the Prolana changing mat, another customer is very satisfied with the Prolana changing mat. Then some less. These have problems especially with the three pads of the changing mat, because they would have been very difficult to put in again. However, this was not the case for the majority of customers. In the same way, it was also criticized that the changing mat or the cover had shrunk during washing. However, the manufacturer had pointed this out, so that is not a complaint. All in all, Prolana scored 4.4 out of 5 points and received a buy recommendation from almost all customers. Some customers have also placed a changing mat and a spittoon on it. This eliminates the need to remove the pads and the changing mat itself always remains clean and dry. An important hint, especially since many requirements have already been classified as questionable by Ökotest. Here the parents are really on the safe side, but other products made of organic cotton can also guarantee this. Exactly this is kept here, because the Prolana changing mat does not smell unpleasant.

Changing mat Bio Happy

This is also a changing mat made of 100% organic cotton, i.e. completely free of harmful substances. In addition, this edition is manufactured in Germany, which is also important to many parents. Because here it is impossible for children to have produced the edition. The price is in the range of the edition of Prolana, even if the Bio Happy has not been tested by Ökotest. Here, too, the organic certificate was awarded, which is usually very difficult to obtain. Because the testing is very strict, so consumers can be sure of this. The dimensions of the changing mat are 75 x 80 x 2 cm and the mat can be washed at 30 degrees. However, the pad is not suitable for the dryer, but there are lots of small animals on the changing mat. The filling consists of 100 % cotton fleece, which washes the entire changing mat. can be. So far the manufacturer’s specifications, but now the customers have the floor. Although it is not a tested product, it is still 100% organic cotton. Exactly what the customers were looking for, because the health of the children always comes first.

Thin but usable

The experiences of the customers could be evaluated in this way, whereby the changing mat itself is very beautiful. Some customers still put a towel on the changing mat so that it doesn’t get dirty so quickly. Otherwise, the experience with this changing mat was good, which was shown with the points. After all, Bio Happy received 4 out of 5 points and thus a recommendation to buy. Most of the points were deducted because of the lack of thickness and because the changing mat is not suitable for the tumble dryer. However, the customers would have liked this, since normal drying takes a very long time. Further points were deducted for the fact that the handling is a little cumbersome. The customer has simply placed a towel underneath. Points were also deducted as the changing pad is a little thin. However, no side pads have to be removed for this, so that the complete edition can be washed. But the customers agreed on one point: the changing mat is completely free of chemicals, which was the most important thing. Thus a purchase recommendation was then expressed in any case.

However, this edition is not made of organic cotton, but also much cheaper in price. In addition, the changing mat can easily be wiped off, which makes the changing mat even more practical. So that the child always lies safely, three sides are raised and there is a star pattern on the surface. The dimensions of the Roba 85 X are 75 cm and the support is PU coated.

Of course the easy handling is important here and whether the changing mat can then meet all the requirements of daily changing.

Looks good and feels great

All customers agreed on this, especially with regard to the price-performance ratio. However, in the case of minor accidents, the changing mat should be cleaned directly. Otherwise, stains can quickly remain, which then does not look nice. The edition is sealed, but if it were still washable, customers would be even more satisfied. The three side elevations, on the other hand, were considered to be really practical, even though the Roba changing mat cannot be folded properly as a result. In terms of price, the changing mat has completely convinced all customers, which is also reflected in the points. The parents then awarded 4.1 out of 5 points. All customers also issued a “buy” recommendation. Especially because the changing mat is really very soft and does not feel cold at all.

Many customers therefore also place a towel on the changing mat for safety’s sake. Then even a small diaper-changing accident cannot leave any stains.
