When it comes to sleep, safety is non-negotiable. Aussie parents want to know that every part of their child’s bedroom supports their health and wellbeing, and the mattress is no exception. Mattress safety testing exists to make sure that what your child sleeps on is not just comfy but also safe from top to bottom.
Australian safety standards cover everything from materials to emissions to structural performance. For children’s mattresses, that means no harmful chemicals, strong edge support, breathable fabrics and compliance with regulations that help prevent suffocation risks. One of the key benchmarks is the INPAA VAG-006 CO2 requirement, which ensures that a mattress is safe when it comes to airflow and breathability during sleep. The Eco Kids mattress proudly meets this standard, offering peace of mind for parents of babies and young children.
Chemical safety is another big factor. Kids are more sensitive to toxins than adults, which is why materials used in children’s mattresses need to be rigorously tested. The Eco Kids mattress uses GECA and Global GreenTag certified foams and fabrics, ensuring they are non-toxic, hypoallergenic and better for indoor air quality. With natural cotton and OEKO-TEX certified bamboo lyocell fabric, this mattress is free from nasties and kind to sensitive skin.
Durability and structure are also tested to ensure a mattress can safely support your child through every leap, bounce and sleep cycle. Eco Kids mattresses are designed with a spring system that is 60 percent stronger than most children’s mattresses. This means less sagging and more stability over time, especially with their Maxi-Boost edge support that prevents roll-offs and adds safety during sleep or story time.
Without proper testing, it is impossible to know whether a mattress is truly safe for growing bodies. Safety testing is not just a box to tick, it is the reason a mattress can be trusted in your child’s most vulnerable moments.
