Choosing the right mattress is just as important as choosing the bed itself. If you’re investing in an Oliver Furniture bed, choosing a mattress designed to fit the frame correctly gives your child the right combination of support, breathability and everyday practicality.
From the compact Oliver Furniture Wood Mini+ mattress to the full-size Wood Original mattress and the newer Camp Nomad and Camp Novel mattresses, Oliver Furniture offers different sizes designed specifically around its adaptable children’s beds.
In this guide, we answer the questions parents most commonly ask about Oliver Furniture mattresses, including mattress sizes, materials, washable covers, breathability and which mattress you need for each Oliver Furniture bed.
What makes Oliver Furniture mattresses different?
Oliver Furniture mattresses are designed specifically with children in mind rather than simply being smaller versions of adult mattresses.
The current mattresses use European HR cold foam with an open-pore structure that encourages airflow and helps moisture move away from the body. Unlike many adult mattresses, they do not use separate sleep zones. This provides consistent support across the mattress – particularly useful for children who frequently change sleeping position during the night.
The HR cold foam has a density of approximately 33–38 kg/m³ and is designed to recover its shape after use while providing a supportive sleeping surface. Oliver Furniture describes the material as breathable and hypoallergenic.
The mattresses also feature removable covers made using organic herringbone cotton and recycled PET fibres. On the main children's mattresses, the upper section incorporates a breathable waterproof layer, helping protect against everyday accidents. The removable cover can be machine washed at up to 40°C.
For parents, that combination makes them particularly practical: supportive, breathable, washable and designed to fit Oliver Furniture beds correctly.
Which Oliver Furniture mattress do I need?
One of the most common questions we receive at Kidsorium is simply: “Which mattress fits my Oliver Furniture bed?”
Here is the quick guide:
| Oliver Furniture Bed | Mattress Size |
|---|---|
| Wood Mini+ Cot Bed | 68 × 122 × 12 cm |
| Wood Mini+ Junior / House / compatible Mini+ beds | 68 × 162 × 12 cm |
| Wood Original Junior Bed | 90 × 160 × 13 cm |
| Wood Original full-size beds | 90 × 200 × 13 cm |
| Camp Nomad Beds | 90 × 180 × 13 cm |
| Camp Novel Cot Bed | 60 × 120 × 13 cm |
| Camp Novel larger bed | 120 × 200 × 13 cm |
Oliver Furniture's current mattress range also includes mattress extensions for both the Mini+ and Wood Original systems, allowing the mattress to adapt as the corresponding bed grows.
Oliver Furniture Wood Mini+ Mattress
The Oliver Furniture Wood Mini+ collection is designed to grow with younger children, so there are two principal mattress sizes.
The Mini+ Cot Bed Mattress measures 68 × 122 × 12 cm and is designed for the Mini+ cot configuration.

When the Mini+ becomes a longer junior bed, the sleeping area increases to 68 × 162 cm.
Parents can either choose the complete 68 × 162 × 12 cm Mini+ mattress or, where appropriate, use the dedicated mattress extension with the original 68 × 122 cm mattress.

This is one of the cleverest features of the Mini+ system: when your child moves into the next stage of their bed, you don't necessarily have to replace everything at once.
Oliver Furniture Wood Original Mattress
For the majority of full-size Oliver Furniture Wood Original beds, the required mattress is 90 × 200 × 13 cm.
This includes the full-size Wood Original bed family, with the mattress designed around the proportions and safety requirements of the collection. Oliver Furniture's official 90 × 200 mattress uses European HR cold foam, breathable open-pore construction and a removable machine-washable cover.

There is also a 90 × 160 × 13 cm Wood Original Junior Mattress for the shorter Wood Original Junior Bed.

As your child grows, Oliver Furniture offers a 90 × 40 × 13 cm mattress extension, converting the 90 × 160 cm sleeping length into 90 × 200 cm.
It means both the bed and mattress system can adapt rather than being immediately replaced when your child needs more space.
Oliver Furniture Camp Nomad Mattress
The Oliver Furniture Camp Nomad Canopy Bed and Day Bed use a 90 × 180 × 13 cm mattress. This slightly shorter-than-standard children's mattress complements the more compact proportions of the Camp Nomad collection.

If you are purchasing a Camp Nomad bed, it is important to look for the correct 90 × 180 cm Oliver Furniture mattress, rather than assuming a standard 90 × 190 or 90 × 200 cm single mattress will fit.
Oliver Furniture Camp Novel Mattresses
The Camp Novel is particularly unusual because the same bed structure transforms from a 60 × 120 cm cot into a much larger 120 × 200 cm bed.
Accordingly, Oliver Furniture produces two dedicated Camp Novel mattresses: 60 × 120 × 13 cm for the cot configuration and 120 × 200 × 13 cm for the larger bed.
The bed itself includes the parts required to transform from the cot configuration into the larger bed, creating a sleeping solution designed to stay with a child for many years.

Are Oliver Furniture mattresses breathable?
Yes. Oliver Furniture uses open-pore HR cold foam, which allows air to circulate through the mattress core and helps moisture move away from the sleeping surface.
This is particularly useful for younger children, whose temperature regulation is still developing.
Are Oliver Furniture mattress covers washable?
Yes. The removable mattress covers can be machine washed at a maximum of 40°C.
On the main mattresses, the cover is divided into sections so the upper portion can be removed more easily when cleaning is needed.
For families dealing with the realities of young children, that is a very useful feature.
Are Oliver Furniture mattresses waterproof?
The main Wood Mini+, Wood Original and Camp Novel mattresses feature a breathable waterproof layer on the upper section of the cover, using cotton laminated with a TPU membrane.
This adds protection against everyday accidents without turning the entire mattress into a non-breathable surface.
Are Oliver Furniture mattresses suitable for allergy sufferers?
Oliver Furniture describes its HR cold foam mattress cores as hypoallergenic, while the washable cover also makes it easier to maintain a clean sleeping environment.
Regular washing of the removable cover can be especially useful for families wanting to minimise the build-up of dust and everyday allergens.
Do Oliver Furniture mattresses have different firmness zones?
No. Oliver Furniture deliberately avoids the separate sleeping zones commonly found in adult mattresses.
Children tend to change position considerably during the night, so the mattress provides consistent support across the entire sleeping surface instead.
Can I use another mattress with an Oliver Furniture bed?
You should always check the exact mattress dimensions and permitted mattress depth for the individual Oliver Furniture bed before choosing an alternative.
This becomes particularly important with bunk beds, loft beds, cot beds and beds with safety rails, where mattress depth can affect the effective height of the surrounding guard.
Choosing the official Oliver Furniture mattress removes much of that uncertainty because the mattress has been designed specifically around the dimensions of the corresponding bed.
Are Oliver Furniture mattresses safety tested?
Oliver Furniture states that its current HR cold foam children's mattresses are manufactured in Europe and tested to EN 16890, with compliance to European fire-safety standards EN 71-2 and BS 7177.
