As a guide: The Eco Kids Mattress suits most kids from around age 2 through to teens, balancing comfort and support.

What type of bed base/frame do you recommend?
What type of bed base/frame do you recommend?
The Eco Kids mattresses needs a bed base/frame that is stable and level and provides adequate support and ventilation. The ideal bed base/frame is a solid flat slat system. If slats are uncovered, the gap between the flat slats should not be more than 10cm apart. We do not recommend flexible (posture) slats or a spring bed base/frame as they can change the feel and support provided by the mattress. Using the Eco Kids mattress on the floor is ok for short periods of time, i.e. Kids slumber parties, but we do not recommend using it on the floor for long periods as it prohibits airflow which can cause mold and other damage.
How much weight can the Eco Kids mattress handle?
How much weight can the Eco Kids mattress handle?
The Eco Kids mattress has been tested to handle a sleeper’s weight of up to 120kg. This is based on a simulated nightly sleeping test over the life of the mattress. Please note a parent can sit or lay on the mattress with a child for short periods of time (i.e. during play/story time or overnight if the child is in need of comfort) with a combined weight of up to 150kg.

Mattress 150 Night Trial/Returns/Refunds
What is the 150-night trial?
What is the 150-night trial?
Within 150 nights of purchase, if you are not completely satisfied with your Eco Kids mattress, you can return it for a full refund, or swap it over to another mattress in the Eco Kids range, subject to our trial terms and conditions. Please note the 150 night trial is limited to one mattress return or exchange per household/order.
As all 150 night trial returned mattresses go to charity, to live another life, they must be in an as-new condition with no damage, stains, marks or rips. We highly recommend using a mattress protector with your mattress. All the customers should retain the original packaging of the mattress at least for 150 nights to use it during the return process.
How do I return the mattress and get a refund?
How do I return the mattress and get a refund?
For returns within the trial period, fill out the online returns form below and our team will contact you, usually by 1-2 business day, to confirm the details. Once your return is approved and the mattress collected returned to our warehouse in acceptable condition, we will process your refund back to the original payment method.
Please note:
All returned mattresses must be enclosed in the original plastic bag provided at the time of sale. This is a strict requirement, as our freight companies will not collect or transport mattresses that are not securely sealed in this protective covering. The plastic bag ensures the mattress is kept hygienic, damage-free, and easy to handle during the return process. Customers are responsible for ensuring their mattress is properly repacked before pickup can be arranged.
How does the mattress swapover work under the 150-night trial?
How does the mattress swapover work under the 150-night trial?
If you’re not completely happy with your mattress during the 150-night trial, you can request a one-time swapover to a different mattress.
To get started, please complete the return form below and select the swapover option. You’ll then need to choose your replacement product.
If the new mattress is more expensive, we’ll send you a payment link and the price difference must be paid before we proceed. If the new mattress is cheaper, we’ll process a refund of the difference once your original mattress has been collected by The Salvation Army (Salvos) or another approved charity.
For Melbourne metro customers, we will pick up your original mattress and deliver the replacement mattress on the same day.
For interstate customers, we will deliver your replacement mattress first and then organise pick-up of your original mattress with Salvos once the new one has been delivered. Before confirming any swapover, we check with Salvos or Soft Landing to ensure they service your area; if they do not, you can still proceed by arranging donation yourself to a registered charity and providing proof of donation, after which we will process your refund.
Please note you are only entitled to one swapover or return under the 150-night trial, and the second mattress does not come with its own trial period.
