We have worked closely with several New Zealand DHBs to ensure Manuka Baby products meet SUDI Prevention recommendations. We take safety incredibly seriously and welcome feedback from parents/caregivers and health organisations.
Manuka Baby mattresses have been designed in line with the National SUDI Prevention Programme National Safe Sleep Device Quality Specification Guidelines.
Mattresses fit flush to the edges of Manuka Baby Bamboo Beds.
Mattresses are made of firm, flat comfort foam at a thickness of 25mm (the Ministry of Health recommendation is a maximum of 40mm thickness).
All of our mattresses are individually tested in New Zealand to ensure they comply with the AS/NZS 8811.1:2013 safety standard.
Mattresses are supplied to us at Manuka Baby with an OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certificate, which states that all materials used in the mattress construction have been proven safe for humans.
