Purchase and delivery
Just like other mattresses in a box, the Teddy Junior Lux Mattress can be ordered online and will be delivered to your door in a compact box. Delivery is free Australia wide, and shipping times are fast to most areas (see full delivery details below in our ‘Delivery’ section).
The Teddy Junior Lux Mattress box arrived in good condition and the mattress was easy to remove from its packaging. With that said, we always recommend having two people to assist in the unpacking process.
Unpacking the Teddy Junior Lux Mattress should only take 5-10 minutes, and we allowed it to decompress for 24 hours before testing.
Of note, is a free bonus kids pillow that comes with this mattress. This pillow is dense, supportive, and comes in a contour shape.
In terms of appearance, the Teddy Junior Lux Mattress has a clean, fun vibe. It sits 18cm high and uses a white and yellow colour theme. The colourful Teddy Junior brand label also gives it a nice finishing touch.
Mattress construction
The Teddy Junior Lux Mattress is a full foam mattress that contains 2 outer covers.
From top to bottom, the mattress starts with an outer cover (1) that is removable and machine washable. This cover feels thick and durable, and is easily removed thanks to the smooth zip mechanism.
The bottom of this outer cover also contains a special non-slip fabric, to help prevent the mattress from sliding on whatever base or surface it is placed on.
Underneath this outer cover is a convenient waterproof inner cover to help protect from bedwetting and other accidents.
These two covers enclose two layers of foam. The first layer is a firm, high density foam (green) called ZoneScape™. This foam uses a 5 zone design and airflow foam technology. When this layer is positioned on top, this is recommended for children aged 2-4.
The second foam layer is a softer, high density foam (coloured grey) called NATURFLEX™. This layer is made of Bamboo Charcoal infused Memory Foam and is much thinner than the first (green) layer. When this layer is positioned on top, this is recommended for children aged 5-18.
How do I change the firmness?
The ‘default’ configuration involves the softer side (grey) positioned on top of the mattress. As mentioned above, this set up is most suitable for children aged 5-18 years old.
To change the firmness level from the firm to the softer foam, you remove the main outer cover, then flip the mattress over so that the firm side (green) foam is facing up. Then, place the main cover back onto the mattress.
Comfort and support
The firm side of the Teddy Junior Lux Mattress is particularly firm and has a rather hard, dense fee. With that said, it should suit toddlers and young children fairly well.
Adults may find this configuration quite firm (for co-sleeping), but this will vary depending on the adult. We would recommend using the softer side for co-sleeping.
Our team rated the firm configuration as a 9 / 10 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.
Firm version
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 found the ‘softer side’ still quite firm, but there was a notable improvement in comfort. We rated this side as a 7 / 10 on the firmness scale (with 10 being the firmest).
Softer version
We certainly didn’t detect any obvious sagging or dipping in either version, and both options should offer excellent spinal support for growing spines.
Possibly due to the dense, foam components, the Teddy Junior Lux Mattress didn’t respond to normal sleep movements particularly well. This means that changing sleep positions may be easier on other mattresses.
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 of the Teddy Junior Lux Mattress is very respectable. Edge support is surprisingly firm for a foam mattress, and this should prevent your child from rolling off the edge of the mattress – an important feature for any kids mattress.
The strong edge support is also highly practical as it allows kids and adults to sit on the edge of the mattress during story time or general play time.
In context of co-sleeping, partner disturbance is present, but certainly not significant. Low motion transfer on a mattress will usually improve the sleep experience for any child or adult (as a restless occupant won’t cause much disruption).
It is worth noting though, that motion transfer on a mattress will depend on the size of the occupants of the bed, and is generally less on a larger size mattress.
Although the Teddy Junior Lux Mattress isn’t particularly heavy, side handles would have been a handy addition to this product. Side handles almost always make carrying and lifting a mattress much easier.
We would recommend using the softer side for co-sleeping.
In terms of a trial period and warranty, the Teddy Junior Lux Mattress comes with an impressive 120 night trial period. This means that if you are not satisfied with this mattress, you can return it for a refund. The mattress also offers a notable 10 year warranty.
In terms of health and safety, it’s worth noting that the outer fabric cover has been certified non-toxic with the OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100. The foam layers have also been tested for harmful chemicals, and certified by REACH.
These certifications provide the customer with peace of mind, knowing that the mattress components are safe to bring into your home.
What bed base should I use?
As with most mattresses, we recommend the Teddy Junior Lux Mattress to be used with a bed base with rigid slats (not flexible/posture slats) with the slats no longer than 8 cm apart.
A base that we would recommend be used with the Teddy Junior Lux Mattress is the Sleep Republic Pro Base.
Neither a bed frame with flexible (posture) slats or an adjustable bed base is recommended for this mattress. 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 Teddy Junior Lux Mattress comes with a 120 night trial period. This means that you can return the mattress for a refund if you are not satisfied (conditions do apply).
This mattress also comes with a 10 year warranty to cover any faulty materials or workmanship.
Available sizes
The Teddy Junior Lux Mattress is available in 3 sizes (single, king single, and double) so it should suit most children’s sleeping arrangements.
Here are Australia’s standard bed (mattress) sizes in 2023.
Final verdict
The Teddy Junior Lux Mattress has a handy dual firmness feature, with the softer side being suitable for co-sleeping. Nevertheless, the mattress offers good spinal support, and holds reputable non-toxic certifications.
