Description
Gentle Italian Care for Your Baby’s First Sleep
Dorelan designs the MyBaby Mattress specifically for infants and young children — a product built entirely around the two priorities that matter most in a baby’s sleep environment: gentle, developmentally appropriate support and uncompromising hygiene. Made in Italy with the same research and material standards that define Dorelan’s adult range, the MyBaby brings the best of Italian sleep engineering to your baby’s cot from the very first night.

Myform Extension — Balanced and Gentle Support
The core of the MyBaby uses Myform Extension — Dorelan’s elastic, dynamically responsive foam engineered to provide balanced and gentle support that follows the child’s body through each stage of early growth.
A baby’s skeletal and muscular system is in active development during sleep. The sleeping surface needs to be firm enough to maintain correct spinal alignment — medical guidance consistently recommends against soft surfaces for infant sleep — while remaining responsive enough to distribute the child’s weight evenly and prevent pressure concentration. Myform Extension achieves this balance precisely: it provides dynamic elasticity and stable support that follows every movement, without the excessive softness that poses developmental and safety risks.
Fibersan Anti-Mite Treatment — Clinically Relevant Hygiene
The cover receives Dorelan’s Fibersan treatment — a natural anti-mite and anti-allergen protection based on essential oils of lavender, eucalyptus, and lemon. Fibersan actively protects the mattress from dust mite colonisation while respecting the skin — its plant-based formula avoids the harsh chemical residues that synthetic anti-mite treatments can leave behind.
This is a clinically relevant feature for a baby mattress. Dust mite allergens are one of the most common triggers of infant respiratory sensitivities and childhood asthma. A mattress that actively resists mite colonisation from the first night of use provides a meaningfully healthier sleeping environment throughout the years of use — not just at the point of purchase.
Essential Smart Cover — Removable, Washable, Fresh
The Essential Smart cover uses a stretch fabric treated with Fibersan and padded with polyester fibre for constant breathability and freshness. The ZipFit system makes the cover fully removable and machine washable — a practical essential for parents managing the frequent laundering that a baby’s sleeping environment requires.
The Blade quilting gives the cover a clean, modern aesthetic while ensuring even padding distribution across the surface.

FAQ
Q: What firmness level is the Dorelan MyBaby Mattress and is it safe for newborns?
The MyBaby is firm — and this is by design, not a limitation. Firmness in a baby mattress is a safety requirement, not a comfort compromise.
Medical guidance from paediatric and sleep safety authorities consistently recommends firm sleeping surfaces for infants. A firm surface maintains the infant’s head position, prevents the face from sinking into the mattress, and supports correct spinal alignment during the critical developmental months. Soft surfaces create risk factors for unsafe sleep positions.
Myform Extension provides the precise balance required: firm and stable enough to meet infant sleep safety standards, while dynamically elastic enough to distribute the baby’s weight evenly and follow their natural movements during sleep. The MyBaby is suitable from birth through the early childhood years. Our sleep experts are happy to advise at 596 14 9977.
Q: What is Fibersan and why does it matter specifically for a baby mattress?
Fibersan is Dorelan’s natural anti-mite and anti-allergen treatment — made from essential oils of lavender, eucalyptus, and lemon — and it is particularly significant for a baby mattress for two reasons.
First, infants spend more time sleeping than at any other life stage — typically 14 to 17 hours per day in the newborn period. The sleeping surface is in continuous, prolonged contact with the baby’s skin and respiratory system. Any allergens or irritants present in that environment have extended exposure time compared to adult sleeping.
Second, dust mite allergens are one of the most common triggers of infant respiratory sensitivities, eczema, and early-onset asthma. A mattress that actively resists mite colonisation from day one creates a genuinely healthier baseline sleeping environment. Fibersan’s plant-based formula achieves this without synthetic chemical residues — important for a product in constant contact with an infant’s sensitive skin.
Q: How do I clean and maintain the Dorelan MyBaby Mattress?
The MyBaby is designed for practical, frequent washing — the ZipFit system makes the cover fully removable in seconds and machine washable.
Remove the Essential Smart cover by unzipping it fully and machine wash following the temperature guidance on the care label. The cover dries relatively quickly and can be air dried or tumble dried on low heat. Always ensure the cover is completely dry before replacing it — residual moisture trapped between the cover and the foam core can encourage mould growth, particularly in a baby mattress that is in daily use.
Never machine wash or soak the Myform Extension foam core — spot clean with a damp cloth if needed and allow it to air thoroughly in a well-ventilated space. Airing the foam regularly is good practice for maintaining freshness. Using a waterproof mattress protector beneath the cover is strongly recommended for a baby mattress — it adds a hygiene layer between accidents and the foam core that significantly extends the core’s condition and lifespan.

Q: At what age should my child move from the MyBaby to a larger children’s mattress?
The MyBaby is designed for infants and young children in a cot — typically from birth to approximately age 2 to 3, when most children transition to a toddler or junior bed.
The practical signal for transition is when the child begins to approach the length of the cot mattress, or when they are ready to move to a larger bed for developmental or safety reasons — whichever comes first. At this point, a children’s mattress in a larger size with age-appropriate support is the right next step.
Dorelan’s Flip Mattress is specifically designed for the 3 to 14 age range — offering four firmness configurations that adapt as the child grows, covering the full primary school years with a single mattress. Our sleep experts can advise on the transition timing and the most appropriate next mattress for your child at 596 14 9977.
Q: The Dorelan MyBaby costs more than a basic cot mattress — what justifies the price?
The price difference reflects three specific distinctions that matter directly for your baby’s health, development, and safety.
First, the foam quality: Myform Extension is a precisely engineered foam with calibrated firmness, dynamic elasticity, and consistent shape retention over years of use. Basic cot mattresses typically use low-density foam that compresses unevenly over time — creating surface irregularities that affect both comfort and safety. A foam that maintains consistent firmness and even surface distribution throughout the baby’s cot years is a genuinely meaningful difference.
Second, the Fibersan anti-mite treatment: a natural, plant-based protection system applied to the cover rather than a generic synthetic coating. For a product in continuous contact with an infant’s skin and respiratory system for years, the quality and nature of the hygiene treatment carries real health implications.
Third, Italian manufacturing standards and Dorelan’s hygiene certification — the first Italian bedding company to obtain this certification, covering every stage from raw material sourcing to delivery. A cot mattress that meets these standards is not simply a comfortable surface — it is a verified, quality-controlled product whose safety credentials have been independently assessed.
For parents who want certainty that their baby’s sleeping surface meets the highest available standard of support, hygiene, and safety, the MyBaby’s price reflects a considered investment in their child’s wellbeing — not simply a premium product choice.
