They also liked the large storage basket perfect for storing nappies or other bedding items.
This is a great option for parents who want to sleep in a co-sleeping arrangement but do not want to share their beds or whose partners may be prone to mobility issues, such as arthritis or back issues. Our mum testers were thrilled to be able to easily access their child while in the Iora and that it came with an adjustable reflux incline that helped alleviate gas.

The mattress is also sturdy and comfortable for babies, and sheets are easily available.
