FAQs

Do bassinet sheets fit change mats?

Some bassinet sheets are designed to fit both bassinet mattresses and change mats, offering versatility and convenience. For instance, certain brands offer fitted sheets suitable for standard baby changing mats and bassinets, typically fitting sizes up to 80cm x 50cm.

However, not all bassinet sheets are universally compatible with changing mats. It’s important to check the dimensions of both the sheet and the change mat to ensure a proper fit. Tasman Eco’s bassinet fitted sheets are made to fit 800mm x 400mm mattresses, so verifying compatibility with your specific change mat is advisable.

How many changing mats do I need?

We want to encourage the reduction of waste and excess products. The change mats we have designed are easy to clean so you would never be stuck without one.

It might be beneficial to have multiple if you're spending a lot of time somewhere else. For example having one at home and at your parents' house.

How to clean changing mat?

Maintaining hygiene is crucial. Here’s how to clean your changing mat:

  • After Each Use: Wipe the mat with warm, soapy water to remove any residue. This prevents stains and bacterial buildup on the baby change mat.
  • Daily: At the end of each day, remove the changing mat cover (if applicable) and wash it with warm water and detergent. Rinse thoroughly and dry, preferably in the sun.
What is the difference between a changing pad and a changing mat?

They're often used interchangeably and the gap between the two is closing. In the past the main difference between a changing pad and a changing mat is their design and use:

  • Changing Pad: A cushioned surface with raised sides, meant for use on a change table mat or dresser. It’s usually larger, with a waterproof surface for easy cleaning.
  • Changing Mat: A flat, foldable, and portable changing mat, ideal for on-the-go use. It’s generally less cushioned but more versatile.

Both provide a clean, safe area for changing nappies, with the choice depending on your needs and lifestyle.
