Our all natural, handmade cot mattress & bassinet mattresses are a great choice for parents who want their babies to sleep on natural materials from day one, minimising their risk of exposure to toxic materials. These mattresses are custom made in our own Sydney workshop, with a coir core for firmness, layered with pure Australian Downs wool (a great thermoregulator) in a certified Organic Cotton cover.
We have been in the mattress making business since 1984 and understand that as the market has grown so have the shapes and sizes of cots and bassinets. These mattresses are made to the specific dimensions you require, with no additional fee for any customisations up to 132x76cm. Please contact us if you need something larger than this. We do require a template of the mattress if it has rounded corners or the shape is anything other than a rectangle/square. Please note that the thickness of the mattresses is not customisable, as the current layering is designed and tested, with your baby’s safety the main concern, to comply with AS/NZS Voluntary Standard 8811.1:2013: Methods of testing infant products – Sleep surfaces – Test for firmness.
Coir, rubberised coconut fibres, is used as the core piece for our custom cot & bassinet mattresses due to its high density of 85kgm³, providing a solid yet supportive base for your baby's developing body. The coir offers minimal cushioning so we have added a layer of untreated Australian Downs wool which is also a great thermoregulator. These layers are hand stitched through a method called tufting, into an Organic Cotton cover. The entire process is free from toxic chemicals, synthetic materials and glues. We decided to use coir instead of latex due to its higher density, and the fact that it does not allow for any ‘sinking in’ like latex can.
