How to Care for the Deluxe Cot Mattress
A few notes about your new mattress
The Deluxe Cot Mattress is designed to fit inside a standard sized Australian cot. The mattress size is 1300mm x690mm x120mm, which enables a gap between both mattress and cot sides to be less than 20mm when using with a standard-sized cot.
The Deluxe Cot Mattress is 100% Australian made. All materials are also made in Australia, giving you peace of mind that your baby's sleeping surface is free from VOCs, fumigation, and nasty toxics and chemicals like formaldehyde, lead and axo dyes. The mattress is tested and approved for SIDS safety regulation AS/NZS 8811.1:1:2013.
To support growing spines, our Deluxe Cot Mattress features an inner made of DunlopFoam and Bonnel Springs for even weight distribution. The high-quality tempered steel springs are made to last and prevent sagging. The mattress is designed for double-sided use to extend its longevity. We recommend flipping your mattress every few months to get the most out of it.
