Your BabyRest mattress technology & safer sleep system explained

September 24, 2025

Why your mattress matters

A mattress is more than just a comfortable place to sleep - it shapes the quality of your baby’s rest, impacting everything from cognitive development and immune health to physical growth, mood, and memory. Beyond comfort, it also plays a crucial role in protecting against infant sleep hazards, including Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).

That’s why every BabyRest mattress is designed with research-backed Safer Sleep tested technology, designed to give parents confidence and reassurance:

Firm and supportive: Meets Australia’s strict standards for infant sleep surface firmness.
CO2 rebreathing certified: Tested to reduce CO2 rebreathing risk.
Ventilation & hygiene: Materials engineered for airflow, temperature regulation, and freshness.

When you choose BabyRest, you’re not just choosing a mattress; you’re choosing peace of mind. Every nap, every overnight sleep, every moment of rest is supported by the same trusted mattress technology, regardless of whether it’s in a cot, bedside bassinet, or travel cot.

Parents love it, experts award it. Most recently, all of our sleep surfaces won the Kiindred Expert’s Choice Awards, and our DuoCore™ continues to earn award after award, recognised for its innovative design, research-led engineering, and unwavering commitment to safer sleep. It’s the kind of mattress that doesn’t just pass safety standards - it raises them, leading the way and giving you reassurance that every sleep counts.

DuoCore™ Bamboo Cot Mattress

The DuoCore™ isn’t just a cot mattress. It’s a five-year sleep solution, designed to grow with your child and support them from day one to their first bed.

Features parents rave about:

Reinforced edges for safety as babies pull up, sit, and explore.
Clever ventilation channels to prevent overheating.
Dual-sided design with baby and toddler sides, offering optimised support at every stage.
Ultra-soft bamboo cover, removable and machine washable.

With countless 5-star reviews from parents, plus awards from industry experts, the DuoCore™ is the mattress that inspires confidence, calm, and consistent sleep routines. Parents tell us it’s a “game-changer”, because when baby sleeps, so can you.

Alfie² Bedside Bassinet

Many parents love the idea of having their baby close in the early months, but worry that bassinets don’t measure up to the safety of a cot mattress. That’s why we designed the Alfie² Bedside Bassinet - bringing BabyRest’s trusted mattress technology into a bedside bassinet, so you don’t have to compromise.

Safer Sleep tested mattress - firm, supportive, and independently assessed for CO2 rebreathing safety.
Adjustable heights & drop-down side - for effortless access during those late-night feeds and cuddles.
All-round breathable mesh - for airflow, comfort, and clear visibility.
Parent-sensed design - lockable swivel wheels, smart storage, and a zippable insect net for extra peace of mind.

With the Alfie², you can enjoy the comfort of closeness in those early nights, with the same level of reassurance trusted in our award-winning DuoCore™ cot mattress. The closeness you want, with the safety you need.

Journey 2-in-1 Travel Cot

Family adventures are better when everyone sleeps well. With the Journey 2-in-1 Travel Cot, your baby enjoys the same trusted BabyRest mattress technology wherever life takes you, giving parents the confidence that safe, comfortable sleep is always within reach.

Safer Sleep tested mattress - the first travel cot mattress in Australia tested for firmness and CO2 rebreathing.
2-in-1 design - zip-in bassinet for newborns, removable for toddlers, so one cot lasts for years.
Smart storage (in bassinet mode) - integrated side pockets and roomy under-bassinet storage to keep essentials close.
Made for travel - quick setup, compact fold, and a carry bag with backpack straps (because spare hands are rare when travelling with kids).

Whether it’s a holiday, a weekend away, or visiting grandparents, the Journey gives your baby a consistent, safer sleep space, and gives you the freedom to focus on making memories together. Safer sleep. Anywhere, anytime.

The BabyRest safer sleep system

Your baby doesn’t just sleep in one place. That’s why every BabyRest sleep surface is built with the same award-winning mattress technology. Cot, bassinet, or travel cot, wherever they rest, you can trust that it’s a consistent, safer sleep tested environment.

It’s not three separate products. It’s one connected system.

One standard of safety
One source of reassurance
One less thing to worry about

This is more than a mattress. It’s peace of mind that follows you from home to holiday, from first nights to toddler years. Safer sleep starts with BabyRest.
