An optional accessory, the Stiffener is a coconut fiber and latex mattress underlay used to firm up the hammock base. For heavier babies - not recommended for newborns.
The baby hammock is designed to provide a gentle curve for the developing spine of a new born baby, however, as baby gets older they may require a stiffener underneath the mattress to make the hammock base firmer and more open. The stiffener is constructed from coconut fibers formed into a sturdy and flexible sheet with natural latex. It must be used under our natural wool mattress or covered with our mattress protector. Note: recommended you do not use for babies under 4kg just so you don't create a chance they could roll on the flatter surface.
Available in 3 lengths.The current size is 88 cm long by 26 cm wide and 2 cm thick which is made to fit our current low-curve, special designed hammock. Please click on the option tab if you would like a shorter stiffener sized to fit the old-style hammock (pre 2010), or a longer 1m stiffener to get more use out of the hammock (you will need the longer mattress too).
