Improve cow comfort and welfare in your cubicle housing with the Mayo Mattress System
Here is why famers & Cows choose the Mayo Cow Mattress:
- Mayo Mattresses are made from a very durable foam which, scientifically, cannot harden.
- There are no layers. There is no top-cover to break, no fillers to compress, dish or harden
- The foam is a closed-cell structure making it the most hygienic synthetic cow bed available as well as being very easy to clean as they hold their shape
- They offer permanent traction. The cow will always sink into a Mayo bed as they will never harden or become slippery which will greatly reduce stress levels in your unit
- Finally and most importantly, cows definitely prefer them. Any trial we are a part of always ends up being a Mayo house in the end because the cows will always tell you!

FAQ
Q: What is the difference between a cow mat and a cow mattress?
A: It depends on your definition . The true definition of a cow mattress is “a soft warm cushion for your cows to lie on when in the cubicle”. By that definition both the Mayo Mattress and the Mayo Original are cow mattresses with the main difference being that the Mayo Mattress is softer.
Q: Is the gap between the cow mats unhygienic?
A: No. The Mayo Mattress range is supplied at the correct width to ensure that the gap is ALWAYS underneath the cow cubicle division. The important area for hygiene is directly underneath the cow’s udder. In tests, the Mayo Mattress range was shown to be the most hygienic surface as it is 100% non-absorbent and can never become absorbent even as it ages. This is due to the unique structure of the product. Of course, fitting them with the Mayo Strip will cover this gap and alleviate all concern on this front.
Q: Do they compress and harden with time?
A: No. The air content of the Mayo Mattress range is permanent. It can never be released and the amount of material used during manufacture is graded to prevent the air cells collapsing. It can sometimes be observed that the back edge of a mat can get thinner. This is true as there is no material to support the cells. However, even one inch into the mat the product will be the same original thickness. This is normal and has no impact on the mat’s performance.
