Purchase and delivery
The Eco Kids Bunk Mattress can be conveniently ordered online through the Eco Kids website. Delivery is free and the mattress can be delivered to almost anywhere in Australia.

Like the Eco Kids Mattress, the Eco Kids Bunk Mattress presents well with a modern, natural vibe. It uses a cream and light brown colour theme with 2 product labels (Australian made and brand name) at the base.
Not surprisingly, this mattress has a particularly low height (14.5cm) to suit most bunk beds or even floor bed or trundle applications.
Mattress construction
The top cover of the mattress is made of natural bamboo fabric. These fibres form a soft and breathable sleeping surface, ideal for kids.
This top cover sits over a quilt layer made of 100% Australian Cotton Fill & HygroFlex Joyce Foam. This layer is designed for comfort and is safe for kids.
A layer of GECA Approved Dunlop Foam also makes up part of the top comfort layer. This sustainably certified foam is designed for superior support and comfort.
These top comfort layers sit over a specially designed ‘Chiro Coil’ spring system. This support system has reinforced edge support and aims at providing balanced spinal support for growing spines.
Comfort and support
The top section of the Eco Kids Bunk Mattress absorbs body smoothly with nice pressure relief in all sleeping positions. The foam layers should offer plenty of comfort for most children.
All of our reviewers agreed that the Eco Kids Bunk Mattress is a ‘medium-firm’ feel and by majority vote, we settled on a 7 / 10 rating on the firmness scale (with 10 being the firmest). Please note that our firmness ratings are just a guide and they do not necessarily relate to comfort.
Firmness rating
Furthermore, our firmness ratings are assigned based on Bedbuyer’s testing process and these may differ from firmness ratings given by individual companies. Mattress firmness will also vary depending on the type of bed base used.
The Chiro Coil spring system offers reliable support for children, and should accommodate children of most sizes. Based on our testing, we wouldn’t recommend this bunk mattress for heavy children (over 75kgs) or adults.
The Eco Kids Bunk Mattress responds very well to normal sleep movements and we rated its responsiveness level as optimal. So, it should be easy for your kids to change positions during sleep.
Please note that our responsiveness scales are just a guide and preferred responsiveness levels will vary between individuals. It’s worth noting also that innerspring mattresses are generally more responsive than foam mattresses.
The finer details
The overall quality and craftsmanship of the Eco Kids Bunk Mattress is excellent. Its finishings and stitchings reflect a product that has been carefully constructed.
The reinforced edge support is quite firm and forms an important aspect of any bunk mattress. This should prevent your child from rolling off the side (possibly on the bottom bunk), but it also forms a stable surface for reading and play time.
The foam layers should offer plenty of comfort for most children.
Considering that bunk beds are generally not recommended for children under the age of 9 years old, we would expect the Eco Kids Bunk Bed Mattress to align with this age recommendation – assuming of course that the mattress is used on a bunk bed.
It is also important that you select a bunk bed that complies with the mandatory safety standard based on the Australian Standard for Bunk Beds AS/NZS 4220 outlined by the ACCC (Australian Competition and Consumer Commission).
Independent Certifications
The Eco Kids Bunk Mattress is officially Australian made (license ID number: 6697) and is highly certified as non-toxic and eco-friendly.
The Eco Kids Bunk Mattress uses foams that have been certified by GECA (Good Environmental Choice Australia). GECA assess products based on their toxicity and environmental impacts and is one of the most reputable foam testing groups.

The Dunlop foams used in this mattress are also approved by the National Asthma Council’s Sensitive Choice program. Sensitive Choice is an independent group that assesses products in context of asthma and allergy sufferers.
The Eco Kids Bunk Mattress has also been officially endorsed by the ASRF (Australian Spinal Research Foundation). This means that it has been assessed by registered chiropractors as being of high quality in context of ergonomic design, function, and for its proposed used.
What bed base should I use?
We recommend the Eco Kids Bunk Mattress to be used with a good quality bunk bed (that complies with the Australian Standard for Bunk Beds AS/NZS 4220) such as the Brook Timber House Bunk Bed.
The Eco Kids Mattress can also be used in a trundle or on the floor for sleepovers.
It’s worth noting here that mattress firmness, performance, and durability will vary with different bed bases.
Trial period and warranty
The Eco Kids Bunk Mattress comes with a 150 night trial period. This is a superior trial period offering compared with many other online mattresses. This means that you can return the mattress for a refund if you are not satisfied. Naturally, conditions do apply.
This mattress also comes with a 10 year warranty to cover any faulty materials or workmanship. This is a superior warranty period of similarly priced products.
Available sizes
The Eco Kids Bunk Mattress is available in 2 sizes – single and king single. So, it should accommodate most bunk bed sleep arrangements.
Here are Australia’s standard bed (mattress) sizes in 2025.
Final verdict
The Eco Kids Bunk Mattress is an excellent bunk mattress that offers an abundance of comfort and support for growing children. Its non-toxic certifications are also impressive.

About Eco Kids mattresses
We’ve been putting in the work since 1991, refining our efforts to give you the best possible mattress for your growing kids. Touch it and you’ll feel the soothing natural softness of our bamboo fabric. Its anti-microbial properties make it a haven for allergy-laden kids, and its breathability will keep them cool all night long.
But it’s what’s under the surface that makes our mattress the best kid’s mattress on the market. Rather than standard springs, our Chiro Flex ES spring system is 60% stronger than other children’s mattresses. The foams in our kids mattresses are GECA or Global GreenTag certified, for their environmentally-friendly design, and approved by the National Asthma Council’s Sensitive Choice program.
Eco Kids mattress prioritises both comfort and safety. It is reflected in the recent recognition: the Eco Kids mattress has been found compliant with the CO2 requirements of INPAA VAG-006. We are proud to align with the safety standards set by INPAA, a respected leader in the Australian Nursery Industry, ensuring that our mattresses contribute to a safer and healthier sleep environment for your children.

The Eco Kids mattress has a natural bamboo fabric that is soft to touch but extremely durable. The natural properties of the bamboo fabric make it anti-microbial and extremely breathable keeping the sleep surface fresh & healthy.
A layer of 100% Natural Cotton Fibre is gently quilted under the Bamboo fabric which is anti-allergy and a natural insulator providing maximum breathability.
Let’s face it, as much as we tell them not to, kids will jump on their mattress so to add strength to the natural surface materials we have engineered in, a strong, super resilient layer of HygroFlex foam. HygroFlex by Joyce foam is made using Australian first Variable Pressure Foaming Technology (VPF) which is the most environmentally friendly foam making process in the world and is certified by Good Environmental Choice Australia (GECA) making it better for the environment as it meets world class environmental standards.
Kids bodies are growing physically at a rapid rate, especially throughout the night so their mattress needs to provide them the right comfort to help them stay asleep. Deep yet gentle comfort has been built in with a resilient layer of HD Dunlop foam which is GECA certified and approved by National Asthma Council’s Sensitive Choice program providing better choice for kids with asthma or allergies.
The support system of the Eco Kids Bunk Mattress is our Chiro Coil spring. This provides balanced, all-over support, essential for growing spines.
