When you bring a new baby home, their sleep is a big deal. Babies can sleep up to 16 hours a day, so the mattress they rest on needs to be safe and comfy. A good mattress can lower the chance of problems like Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) and help your baby rest well. In Australia, more parents are asking about a red nose approved cot mattress or a SIDS approved cot mattress, and we at Wow Beds want to help.
We’ve been making mattresses for over 21 years. We know what makes a bed good, and we’ve created the Wow beds Duo and Wow beds Dreamer to fit all budgets and needs. Our goal is to give your baby a safe place to sleep and you some peace of mind.
Safety comes first when picking a mattress for your baby. Here are the main things to think about:
A firm mattress is a must for newborns. Soft ones can be risky if a baby rolls over onto their tummy, making it hard to breathe. A red nose approved cot mattress is designed to be firm to keep your baby safe. This firmness supports their body and keeps their airways open.
The mattress should fit the cot perfectly, with no gaps bigger than 20mm. Big gaps can trap a baby’s arm or head, which is dangerous. Always measure your cot before buying to make sure the mattress fits right.
Babies don’t control their body heat as well as adults. A mattress that lets air move through helps stop them from getting too warm, which is part of SIDS approved cot mattress rules. Look for materials that keep the air flowing to keep your baby comfortable.
Many parents wonder, what type of mattress is best for a newborn? There are three main kinds: foam, spring, and hybrid. Each one has its good points, so let’s look at them.
Choose a firm, flat mattress with no raised or cushioned edges or sides. Your baby’s head should sink no more than a few millimetres into a mattress. Make sure your baby mattress is in good condition, with no rips or tears, and not sagging in places.
Spring mattresses have metal coils inside for support. They last a long time and feel firm, which matches SIDS approved cot mattress needs. The Wow beds Dreamer has strong pocket springs to give your baby a solid sleep surface.
Hybrid mattresses mix foam and springs for the best of both. They’re firm, supportive, and cozy. The Wow beds Duo is a hybrid with pocket springs and foam layers, making it a safe and snug choice for your baby.
A red nose approved cot mattress meets safety rules from Red Nose Australia, a group that works to stop SIDS. These mattresses are firm, flat, and free of bad chemicals. They also fit cots tightly to avoid gaps. Red Nose says to lay babies on their backs on a firm mattress to keep their breathing clear.
Our Wow beds Duo and Dreamer follow these rules. They use materials tested by Oeko-Tex Standard 100 and CertiPUR-US, so you know they’re safe for your baby.
A SIDS approved cot mattress follows steps to reduce Sudden Infant Death Syndrome risks. Here’s what to look for:
The Wow beds Duo and Dreamer meet these needs. Their firm design and breathable covers make them a smart pick for a SIDS approved cot mattress.
Safety is key, but some extra features make life easier. Here’s what to look for:
Babies have sensitive skin, so the mattress should be free of harmful stuff. Check for certifications like Oeko-Tex or CertiPUR-US. Wow Beds uses only safe materials in our Duo and Dreamer mattresses.
Babies can be messy with spills or spit-up. A cover you can take off and wash is a big help. Our Wow beds mattresses have covers that are simple to clean and keep fresh.
Moving a mattress to change sheets or clean under the cot can be hard. The Wow beds Duo and Dreamer have strong handles to make it easier for you.
At Wow Beds, we make mattresses that are safe and comfy for babies. Our 21 years in the business help us build products you can trust. Here’s why our mattresses are a good fit:
The Wow beds Duo is a hybrid mattress with a dual pocket spring core and soft foam layers. It’s firm for newborns and lets air flow to keep them cool. The safe materials and washable cover make it a top red nose approved cot mattress. The handles also help when you’re fixing the cot.
The Wow beds Dreamer uses pocket springs and gel memory foam for a firm, supportive feel. It’s great for parents wanting a SIDS approved cot mattress that’s also cozy. This mattress keeps your baby safe every night.
Both come with a free hybrid pillow (worth $224 with the Duo) to support your baby’s head and neck as they grow.

A firm, flat one—foam, spring, or hybrid—works best. It should meet red nose approved cot mattress safety rules.
Pick a SIDS approved cot mattress that’s firm, breathable, and free of bad materials. Make sure it fits the cot well.
It’s better to use a new one to avoid germs or mold. If you use an old one, check it’s firm and clean.
Swap it out if it sags, tears, or your child outgrows the cot—usually around age 3.
A hard mattress is better. Soft ones can be risky, so a red nose approved cot mattress is always firm to protect your baby.
Yes, they do. A special mattress designed for safety, like a SIDS approved cot mattress, helps keep your newborn safe while they sleep.
Both can work if they’re firm. A spring mattress like the Wowbed Dreamer offers strong support, while a foam one like the Wowbed Duo is light and safe—choose based on what fits your cot.
