The Cariboo Tru-Sleep Cot Mattress is designed to give your baby safe, breathable, and supportive sleep from day one. Made with high-quality, free from known harmful chemicals, it offers the perfect balance of comfort, durability, and peace of mind for Australian families.
A safe cot mattress should be firm, breathable, and made from non-toxic materials. In Australia, choosing a mattress that meets the Consumer Goods (Infant Sleep Products) Safety Standard and fits the cot snugly with no gaps is essential for newborn safety and healthy sleep.
How firm should a baby cot mattress be?
A baby cot mattress should be firm rather than soft, as recommended by Australian and New Zealand safety guidelines. A firm surface helps support your baby's developing spine and reduces the risk of suffocation or improper posture during sleep.
What size cot mattress do I need for my baby’s cot?
Most Australian cots use a standard cot mattress size of 130 cm long by 69 cm wide (this is also the Cariboo cot mattress size), but it’s always important to measure your cot before purchasing. A correct fit means there are no more than 20mm of space between the mattress and the cot frame.
How often should I replace a cot mattress?
Cot mattresses should generally be replaced when they lose firmness, show signs of wear, or after being used for multiple children. A supportive, clean, and hygienic mattress ensures your baby continues to sleep safely and comfortably as they grow.
