Kids single mattress, eco mattress or cot mattress: which does your child need?
Shop all kids mattresses →
Choose a kids single mattress when your child moves from a cot to their first bed. Choose an innerspring mattress if your child moves frequently during sleep. Spring coils distribute weight evenly, support spinal alignment and allow better airflow than solid foam. Choose an eco or aloe vera mattress if your child has sensitive skin, allergies or heat sensitivity. Plant-based materials regulate temperature and resist moisture without synthetic chemicals. Choose a cot mattress if your baby still sleeps in a cot. Standard cots require a 131cm x 76cm mattress that fits with no gap greater than 25mm on any side. A larger gap creates an entrapment risk. Choose a bassinet mattress for the earliest newborn weeks before the cot transition.
All mattresses in our collection use non-toxic, child-safe materials. Designs start from $44.99. In stock now, dispatched from Sydney. Check each product card for confirmed dimensions, materials and current price before ordering.
Support, Safety and Breathability
What to Confirm Before You Buy a Kids Mattress
Children sleep 10 to 14 hours a day in the early years. A mattress that does not support spinal alignment, traps heat or contains chemical off-gassing affects sleep quality and physical development across years of daily use. In particular, firmness matters more for children than adults. A mattress that feels too firm to an adult provides the correct resistance for a child's lighter body weight to maintain natural spinal curvature. Confirm the firmness rating on each product page before ordering.
For cot mattresses, the no-gap rule applies above all else. A snug fit with no gaps on any side prevents an infant rolling into the gap between the mattress and cot frame. As a result, always confirm the exact internal dimensions of your cot on the cot product page and match them to the mattress dimensions on the mattress product page before ordering. Pair your mattress with the matching bed frame or cot that confirms the correct mattress size in the product specifications.
Safety Note: Cot and Bassinet Mattresses
A cot mattress must meet AS/NZS 8811.1:2013 and fit the cot frame with no gap exceeding 25mm on any side. Never place a soft mattress, pillow or rolled blanket under an infant to fill a gap. For personalised safe sleep guidance, consult your maternal and child health nurse or paediatrician. Check the safety standard compliance on each product page before ordering.
Aloe Vera Eco, Innerspring, Cot and Bassinet
Kids Mattress Types: Choose by Size and Material
Confirm your bed or cot dimensions before choosing a type. Size and material together determine whether the mattress fits safely and supports your child's sleep quality over years of use.
Kids Single Mattress
Kids Single Mattress: Innerspring and Aloe Vera
A standard Australian single mattress measures 92cm x 188cm and fits a standard single bed frame. The Love N Care Innerspring Mattress ($136.79, was $159.95) gives children who move frequently during sleep firm, even support across the full surface. Spring coils distribute body weight evenly and allow airflow between the coils, which keeps them cooler than solid foam through Australian summers. The Love N Care Shell Innerspring Mattress (from $161.99, was $179.95) carries a 6-year spring warranty and meets AS/NZS 8811.1:2013 safety standards. Confirm mattress dimensions match your bed frame on each product page before ordering. Add to cart and have it delivered before your child's new bed arrives.
Eco Kids Mattress
Eco Kids Mattress: Love N Care Aloe Vera
The Love N Care Aloe Vera Mattress (from $204.24, was $239.00) uses plant-based aloe vera materials rather than synthetic foams and chemical treatments. For instance, children who sleep hot or sweat during the night stay more comfortable on aloe vera and natural materials than on standard polyester covers. The Love N Care Vulu Cot Aloe Vera Mattress ($249.95, was $299.95) suits standard cots and uses the same natural material approach. Choose an aloe vera eco option if your child has eczema, allergies or heat sensitivity. Confirm the specific materials on each product page before ordering.
Innerspring Mattress
Innerspring Kids Mattress for Support and Airflow
An innerspring mattress distributes body weight evenly across the full sleep surface and allows airflow between the spring coils, which keeps it cooler than solid foam in Australian summers. Spring coils support correct spinal alignment for children who move frequently during sleep. The Love N Care Shell Innerspring Mattress (131 x 76cm, 12cm deep) carries a 6-year spring warranty and meets AS/NZS 8811.1:2013 cot mattress safety standards. The Love N Care Innerspring Mattress combines a thermo-bonded core with tempered steel springs for even support and durability. Confirm spring count and coil type on each product page before ordering.
Cot and Bassinet Mattress
Cot Mattress Australia: AS/NZS 8811.1 Compliant
A standard cot mattress measures 131cm x 76cm. Before ordering, confirm the exact internal dimensions of your cot and match them to the mattress product page. A gap greater than 25mm on any side creates an entrapment risk. The Love N Care Shell Innerspring Mattress (from $161.99) meets AS/NZS 8811.1:2013 and fits standard cots. The Love N Care Bassinet Mattress ($44.99, was $49.95) suits bassinet frames. Confirm your bassinet brand and dimensions on the product page before ordering. Either way, never use a second-hand cot mattress for a newborn. Check stock and order before your baby's due date.
Buying Checklist
Kids Mattress Size Guide: Cot, Bassinet and Single Dimensions
- Measure before ordering: Confirm the internal dimensions of your bed frame or cot before choosing a mattress. Standard single beds measure 92cm x 188cm. Standard cots require 131cm x 76cm. Non-standard frames need a measured fit. Check the product page of your frame for the recommended mattress size.
- Cot gap rule: A cot mattress must leave no gap greater than 25mm on any side. Confirm this before ordering. Never use a rolled blanket or towel to fill a gap. Replace the mattress with a correctly sized model.
- Firmness for age: Infants and toddlers need a firm mattress. A mattress that compresses significantly under adult hand pressure is too soft for a child under two. Older children can use a medium-firm mattress. Confirm the firmness rating on each product page.
- Material and safety: Confirm the mattress materials on each product page. Love N Care aloe vera mattresses use plant-based, non-toxic materials. Love N Care innerspring mattresses meet AS/NZS 8811.1:2013. For eco options, confirm the specific material certifications on each product page before ordering.
- Mattress delivery and setup: Confirm the delivery format on each product page before ordering. Allow adequate setup time after delivery before first use. Order before your baby's due date or your child's new bed arrives to avoid delays.
- Rotation: Rotate the mattress every 3 to 6 months to distribute wear evenly and extend the working life of the innerspring system. Add a mattress protector from the first night to protect the surface against spills and allergens.
