Why this win matters for all parents
Parenting is full of decisions. But some matter more than others, like where your baby sleeps.
Your baby’s mattress isn’t just a surface to sleep on. It’s a foundation for safety, growth, and peace of mind. Which is why awards like this aren’t just about bragging rights, they’re reassurance.
This recognition from Bounty Parents is more than a ‘gold star’. It’s a signal that real Australian families have experienced what sets the DuoCore™ apart - and they’d recommend it to others without hesitation. In fact:
Safer sleep starts here. What makes the DuoCore™ different?
The BabyRest DuoCore™ isn’t just well-loved, it’s expertly engineered. And safety isn’t one feature, it’s every layer, every detail, working together.
-
Tested over-and-above Australian standards
The DuoCore™ was the very first cot mattress in Australia to pass the new CO₂ rebreathing test - the latest benchmark in infant sleep safety.
-
Designed with intention
The DuoCore™ is Australia’s first true dual-sided cot mattress: one side tailored for newborns under 12kg, and the other for toddlers.
-
Engineered for airflow
Ventilation channels help reduce overheating, while the ultra-soft bamboo cover is hypoallergenic - a big plus for little ones with allergies or asthma.
-
Built for safety
Reinforced edges reduce the risk of entrapment as babies learn to stand.
-
Lightweight & easy to clean
Parents loved how light the mattress is for late-night sheet changes, and the removable cover makes cleanup a breeze.

Must have
"The BabyRest DuoCore Bamboo Cot Mattress has significantly improved our child's sleep habits. She now consistently sleeps through the night and naps in her cot since we switched to this mattress. The ability to reverse the mattress as she grows is a significant advantage, eliminating the need to purchase a new mattress…I highly recommend the BabyRest DuoCore Bamboo Cot Mattress to all parents.”

Restored sleep in our household
…The DuoCore mattress came at the perfect time to test, when our babies sleep had drastically changed for the worse and breaking point only around the corner…Once opened, the quality and softness of the mattress stood out instantly. The mattress was superior quality to what we had on her cot, was soft and breathable and rather lightweight for how luxurious it is. I am a huge fan of the buttery soft removable cover and also the reinforced edges that don't collapse when little one is standing at the side of her cot.
The first night that she slept on the DuoCore mattress, she only woke once in the night (previously this was up to 6 times), and went back to sleep easily. I thought this was a one off fluke but the following nights continued to improve. Within 4 nights/days, she started sleeping a solid 11 hours and is waking up happy and rested at a reasonable time. She is happy to go to bed and even puts herself to sleep within only minutes of going to her cot. This is true for both day naps as well as night sleep. Previously we had always struggled with her day naps and she needed extra help and comfort to go to sleep.
I am absolutely amazed at the difference a quality mattress makes…Sleep is so precious, and I highly recommend this mattress. I have already recommended to a few of my friends expecting babies later in the year and will go on advocating for this mattress. It saved my little ones sleep and mood, it saved my sleep and sanity. Highly recommend! Thank you BabyRest!”

The winning ticket to a great night's sleep
"I was lucky enough to receive the BabyRest DuoCore Bamboo Cot Mattress as part of the Bounty Trial Team, and wow, am I impressed. As a first time parent, the cot mattress we picked originally two years ago wasn't a thoughtful decision, but now after switching over to the BabyRest mattress, it's shown me how important this really is. Just like a car seat or pram, picking the best cot mattress for your little one is key to providing them the best comfort possible, and of course we all want sleep to be the best it can be!
Its dual-firmness core feels so supportive for my toddler (and when she makes my husband or I climb into her bed for a cuddle, we have definitely noticed how comfortable it feels too). The breathable airflow materials give me peace of mind that she is sleeping on the highest quality and temperature is regulated throughout the night. She has been sleeping so soundly, that we can only credit BabyRest!...I'm so grateful we have this mattress in our little one's sleep routine now - and I will be recommending this to all my friends having babies in the future!”
- Aja, Bounty Parents reviewer
The Mattress to buy!
"...I noticed over a 7 day trial of my baby having his nap and night time sleep that he was able to move into his most comfortable position with such ease and slept better than he usually does on his previous different branded mattress. I am really impressed with the quality of this mattress and the quality of sleep my baby is now having. This one's a winner!”
- Sarah-Jayn, Bounty Parents reviewer
Super light, super comfy, super sleep!
First thing I noticed when trying out this mattress is how light it is! Changing sheets has become a dream, especially in the night if sickness/accidents happen…Our little one is under 11kg so we've only used the baby side so far but love that it'll grow with him when he does get bigger…
The bamboo seems to be good for temperature control too, he's napped on it during hot days and slept well overnight when the temperatures dropped. In fact, baby had a few nights of broken sleep and then when we swapped to this mattress he went back to sleeping through! Coincidence or not it made us very happy haha. I honestly can't think of any negatives so that's why it gets 5 stars from me.”
