You can see this mattress in ‘real life’ in our video review here:
Visually, the Eco Kids 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.
The mattress sits 21cm high which is relatively low for an innerspring mattress, With that said, it is an appropriate height for a kids mattress in context of bunk bed and floor bed applications.
Please note that the pillow top is 24cm high.
Mattress construction
The top cover of the mattress is made of natural bamboo and cotton fibres. These fibres form a breathable, hypoallergenic sleeping surface, ideal for kids.
This top cover sits over a combination of premium quality foams that are well certified as eco-friendly and non-toxic.
These top comfort layers sit over a specially designed ‘Chiro Flex ES’ spring system. This spring network is 60% stronger than other children’s mattresses and has a reinforced perimeter for enhanced edge support.
The Eco Kids Mattress can also be ordered with an additional 5cm layer of certified foam (pillow top). This foam layer adds a soft and comfortable feel to the mattress, making it ideal for parents who co-sleep with their children. The additional pillow top is also suitable for tweens or teenagers who desire a greater level of comfort.
Comfort and support
The top comfort layer of the Eco Kids Mattress absorbs body weight nicely, and provides smooth pressure relief in all sleeping positions.
All of our reviewers agreed that the Eco Kids Mattress is a ‘medium-firm’ feel and by majority vote, we settled on a 7.5 / 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.
No Pillow Top
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.
We tested the Eco Kids Mattress on the Chiropedic Bed Base which is a good quality bed base with rigid slats.
As you would expect, the option with the added pillow top layer feels softer and more comfortable. It absorbs body weight nicely with a foamy, yet responsive feel. As we touched on earlier, the pillow top option would suit parents who may wish to co-sleep with their children.
All of our reviewers agreed that the Eco Kids Mattress with the pillow top has a comfortable ‘medium’ feel and by majority vote, we settled on a 5 / 10 rating on the firmness scale (with 10 being the firmest). Again, our firmness ratings are just a guide.
With Pillow Top
The Chiro Flex ES spring system offers excellent spinal support. It should accommodate children of all sizes, and is ideal for growing spines. Although the mattress isn’t designed for regular use by adults, it can easily be used by adults for reasonable periods.
The Eco Kids Mattress responds very well to normal sleep movements and we rated its responsiveness level in the optimal zone. 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 Mattress is exemplary. Its finishings are first class and it is evident that every design detail has been carefully considered.
One of the most impressive features of this mattress is its edge support, which is more solid than any other kids mattress that we have tested. This will not only prevent your child from rolling off the side, but it also forms a stable surface for reading and play time.
One of the most impressive features of this mattress is its edge support.
In terms of age, the Eco Kids Mattress is suitable for children from age 2, all the way up to teenagers and young adults. It can accomodate up to 120kgs, so it should be adequate for kids of all sizes.

What bed base should I use?
As with most mattresses, we recommend the Eco Kids Mattress to be used with a sturdy bed frame with solid slats (such as the Chiropedic Bed Base). We also recommend that these slats are no longer than 10 cm apart.
A bed frame with ‘flexible’ (posture) slats may not provide adequate support for this mattress. Please note that any unsupportive mattress foundation may void the warranty for this mattress.
Furthermore, we do not recommend the Eco Kids Mattress to be used with an adjustable (electric) bed base as this may also void the warranty. Here is our full list of mattresses that are compatible with an adjustable bed base.
It’s worth noting here that mattress firmness, performance, and durability will vary with different bed bases.
Trial period and warranty
The Eco Kids Mattress comes with a 100 night trial period. This is a typical (yet impressive) trial period offering of many 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 Mattress is available in 4 sizes – double, king single, long single, and single size. So, it should accommodate all (kids) sleeping situations.
Here are Australia’s standard bed (mattress) sizes in 2025.
Final verdict
The Eco Kids Mattress is a truly outstanding product that sets the standard in the kids mattress market in 2025. It is Australian made, is well-certified as non-toxic, and comes with free delivery (Australia wide).

Eco Kids Mattress
The Eco Kids children’s bed mattress has been sensitively designed with natural materials and no harmful chemicals. It comes highly awarded and recommended by Bedbuyer and the Australian Spinal Research Foundation.
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.
Every parent wants the best for their kids. So do we — that’s why we’ve spent decades trying to bring the best kids mattress to homes across Australia. Sleep safe and well, knowing your kids will, too.
Specifically designed to help children grow providing the best in support and comfort while utilising environmentally friendly, natural materials so you can feel confident your child is having a healthy and restorative sleep.
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 mattress is our exclusive Chiro Flex ES spring featuring Maxi-Boost edge support.
Made with refined, triple heat treated wire the Chiro Flex ES spring system has a higher coil count and 60% stronger than standard Bonnell springs found in most kids mattresses. The Chiro Flex ES spring provides perfect balanced support to kids of all sizes and weights allowing their bodies to develop correctly and naturally.
A lot of the time a kids mattress is not just used for sleep, it also serves as a kids play area as well as a seat for adults during story time so with this in mind we expanded our double edge side supports to Maxi-Boost supplying 70% more support to the edge of the mattress preventing roll out and any type of sagging.
The Eco Kids mattress is the natural choice for all parents who are looking to provide their kids with the best product to help them grow. It is the best mattress available for kids in Australia.
