World Sleep Day is a reminder to choose products that are proven to offer a safer sleep – and your baby’s cot mattress matters more than you might think.
In those crucial early years when babies are growing and developing while sleeping, a safe and supportive sleep surface isn’t just important, it’s essential. That’s why we’re so proud to share that our much-loved BabyRest DuoCore
™ Bamboo Cot Mattress is the very first to win INPAA’s new ‘Tried & True – Sleep Product’ Award.
This is more than just a win for BabyRest, it’s a win for parents everywhere who prioritise safety, quality and innovation when choosing nursery products.
The ‘Tried & True’ Award: What it means for DuoCore
™
The Infant & Nursery Products Alliance of Australia (INPAA) is an independent industry body that works together to establish safety benchmarks for baby products which go over and above the basic regulations mandated by law.
INPAA’s ‘Tried & True’ Award recognises products that have elevated safety outcomes, introduced groundbreaking design features and importantly, continue to be trusted by parents years after their launch and see enduring success.
Products are judged according to the following criteria:
-
Has the product or service elevated safety outcomes in its category?
-
Did it introduce groundbreaking safety design features at launch?
-
Has it inspired innovation among competitors?
-
Does it continue to achieve strong sales?
-
How have consumers embraced and appreciated the product?
Unsurprisingly, the DuoCore
™ shone across the board.
The DuoCore
™ cot mattress has always been ahead of the curve. From the very start, it set new industry benchmarks - introducing Australia’s first true dual-sided cot mattress with tailored support for infants through to toddlers, reinforced sides for extra stability and safety, as well as rigorous safety testing that exceeded government standards.
But innovation doesn’t stop at launch. In 2024, DuoCore ™ became the first cot mattress in Australia to pass the new CO2 rebreathing test, reaffirming our commitment to safer sleep. This award, judged by independent safety and industry experts, recognises not just what DuoCore ™ achieved at its debut, but how it continues to lead the way.
Parents have trusted DuoCore ™ since 2020 for its safety, comfort and durability. This award confirms what they already know - DuoCore ™ isn’t just a mattress; it’s a sleep solution that evolves with your child and sets a new standard for the industry.

How INPAA drives higher standards for your child
Many parents assume that every baby product on the market must meet strict safety regulations simply because it’s sold in Australia. Unfortunately, that’s not always the case.
Government-mandated safety standards, while crucial, often take a long time to come into effect due to the extensive regulatory process involved. In contrast, INPAA is more nimble, proactively setting safety benchmarks that go beyond government requirements.
As an independent industry body, INPAA brings together experts from across the infant products sector - including manufacturers, retailers, regulatory agencies, safety specialists, researchers and test laboratories - to establish and uphold the most rigorous safety standards in the industry. These best-practice guidelines can be swiftly adopted by brands and retailers committed to providing safer products for families.
When you spot the INPAA Approved tick, it’s more than just a symbol - it’s reassurance that a product has been rigorously assessed by leading safety professionals, empowering you to make informed choices for your child.
