Choosing between our Essential and Quilted styles comes down to your preferences for cover design, washability, and thickness — but rest assured, both options deliver the same high standard of purity, comfort, and safety. At the heart of each mattress is GOLS-certified organic natural latex, a non-toxic, supportive and breathable material that helps regulate temperature and provides the ideal level of firmness recommended for infant sleep. This means fewer night-time disruptions and a more comfortable rest for your baby year-round.
Our GOTS-certified organic cotton covers further enhance airflow and comfort, ensuring a soft, chemical-free surface close to your baby’s skin. Parents who prefer easy laundering often choose the Essential, while those seeking a more cushioned, luxurious exterior gravitate toward the Quilted style. Both include a washable inner jersey protective cover, offering an extra layer of hygiene and extending the life of your mattress.
Every Zentai cot mattress is handcrafted in Byron Bay with over 45 years of expertise in natural and organic bedding, giving families peace of mind and long-lasting quality. Whether you value washability, our natural organic cot mattresses are designed to support healthy spinal development, promote safer sleep, and reduce exposure to harmful chemicals found in conventional foam mattresses.
Invest in a mattress that truly supports your baby’s wellbeing — naturally, ethically, and sustainably.
