These beds are an important part of the unit providing a place for parents to stay if their baby is critical and they need to be nearby. The are used for “mum time” which is an opportunity for bonding and sharing time with their baby, usually for one or two nights at a time. They are also an important part of discharge planning where mothers come in for up to 48 hours to have total care of their baby, feeding, giving medications, bathing & dressing whilst having the support of staff nearby.

They are always in use and in great demand.

Jade at Harvey Norman helped with the selection and supply of everything and the recommendation was for the CONFORMA CLASSIC II medium single mattress.

This mattress is made from advanced comfort technology to provide breathable and body-conforming comfort. It features AeroQuilt keeps your mattress cool and breathable, EvoFoam provides body-conforming comfort with pressure relief that is environmentally friendly for a healthier sleep environment, Luxurious Comfort foam provides conforming comfort, Conforma Coil support system conforms to your body shape to provide all-over support. Profile Edge Support consisting of firmer springs around the perimeter of the mattress to maximise the sleep surface and creates a stronger edge. 

As you can see the new mattress is far deeper than the old one below.
