Infant Sleep Surface Firmness Testing by Goce Bocevski is a document available to read on EtoBox.

AS/NZS 8811.1:2013 outlines a testing method for assessing the firmness of infant sleep surfaces to minimize the risk of infant asphyxiation. The standard specifies the apparatus and procedure for testing various infant products like mattresses and cots, ensuring they do not exhibit excessive softness. This testing is crucial as overly-soft surfaces have been linked to increased risks of infant mortality, particularly in relation to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).
