What Is Boori Furniture and Is It Worth Buying in Australia?

Boori is an Australian nursery and children's furniture brand founded in 1992, selling baby cots, kids beds, bunk beds, nursery storage, mattresses and living furniture online and through four showrooms in NSW, VIC, QLD and the ACT. If you are asking what is Boori furniture in Australia, the short answer is a timber furniture maker built around the nursery-to-teen years, with cots made to AS/NZS 2172:2003 and bunk beds made to AS/NZS 4220:2010.

This guide explains what Boori sells, what the furniture is made from, which safety standards it meets and whether it is worth the price for Australian families in 2026.

What Is Boori Furniture and Where Is It Based in Australia?

Boori is an Australian furniture brand founded in 1992 that sells nursery, kids, bedroom and living furniture through boori.com.au and four showrooms across New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland and the ACT.

The brand started with nursery furniture and grew into a full range for the years that follow: kids beds, bunks, storage and study furniture, then adult bedroom and living pieces. Many Australian families first meet Boori through a cot, then come back for a kids bed when the cot stage ends.

If you want to see the furniture before you buy, Boori has showrooms in Eastern Creek NSW 2766, South Melbourne VIC 3205, Fortitude Valley QLD 4006 and Canberra ACT. The Eastern Creek showroom is in Western Sydney near the M7/M4 interchange, with free parking, and is open 7 days.

The Melbourne showroom in South Melbourne, the Brisbane showroom in Fortitude Valley and the Canberra showroom each display nursery and kids furniture in room settings. Opening hours vary by location, so check the current details before you travel. Seeing a cot or bed in person is the easiest way to judge scale, timber colour and drawer quality.

Online orders are delivered across Australia, with free metro delivery on orders over $150 to Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Gold Coast and Canberra. Current addresses and hours for every location are on the store locator.

What Does Boori Australia Sell?

Boori Australia sells four main categories: baby and nursery furniture, kids and teen furniture, adult bedroom furniture, and living and dining furniture.

Prices above are indicative ranges taken from the live collection pages at the time of writing and include sale pricing, so they will change. The nursery range is the deepest: the baby collection alone covers more than 100 products, from cots and bassinets to change tables, bedding and rocking chairs.

The kids range picks up where the nursery ends. It covers first beds after a cot, beds for school-age children and teens, bunk and loft beds for shared or small rooms, and storage designed to grow with the child. The bedroom range then covers queen and king beds and matching storage for adults, so a family can keep one timber look across the house.

Living and dining furniture is the smallest part of the range. It suits families who already own Boori bedroom pieces and want matching finishes in shared spaces, rather than shoppers comparing sofas across many brands.

What Types of Baby Cots Does Boori Australia Make?

Boori Australia makes three sizes of baby cot: standard cots for a 132x70cm mattress, compact cots for a 119x65cm mattress and oval cots for a 119x64cm mattress, with prices from about $280 to $1,541.

Standard cots suit most house nurseries. Compact cots save floor space in apartments and shared rooms, and oval cots are freestanding pieces that need clear space on every side. All Boori cots are designed to AS/NZS 2172:2003, the mandatory Australian standard for household cots, which covers structural strength, slat spacing and mattress fit.

Many models are convertible. Boori Convertible Plus cots convert from a cot to a toddler bed and later into further configurations, while Expandable designs grow from a cot into a full single bed. A conversion kit is usually needed for each stage, so check the product page before you buy. You can compare every format in the baby cots collection.

Whichever cot you choose, the sleep setup matters as much as the frame. Red Nose Australia advises placing babies on their back to sleep, using a firm, flat mattress that fits the cot with no large gaps, and keeping loose bedding, pillows and soft toys out of the cot for children under 2. These steps apply to every cot, whatever its size or price.

Boori cot mattresses are sized for each cot format and made to AS/NZS 8811.1:2013, which requires the mattress to be firm and spring back immediately when pressed. Match the mattress to your cot size in the baby mattresses range, and never mix a compact mattress with a standard cot.

What Kids Beds Does Boori Sell in Australia?

Boori sells single beds (92x188cm), king single beds (107x203cm), double beds (138x188cm), bunk beds, loft beds and floor beds in Australia, with prices from about $356 to $3,686.

A single bed is the most common first bed after a cot and suits children from around age 3 through primary school. A king single is wider and longer, so it suits taller children and teens. Floor beds sit close to the ground and suit toddlers moving out of a cot, while bunk and loft beds save floor space in shared or smaller rooms. Browse every size and style in the kids beds collection.

For smaller rooms, storage beds with under-bed drawers or a trundle add space for clothes, toys or a sleepover mattress without adding another piece of furniture. Floor beds suit toddlers who are ready to leave the cot but still benefit from a very low sleeping surface, while staircase bunks combine climbing access with built-in drawers.

Most families choose a bunk when two children share a room and a loft bed when one child needs the floor space underneath for a desk or play area. Compare designs, staircase options and storage drawers in the kids bunk beds range.

Bunk beds and loft beds are made to AS/NZS 4220:2010, the Australian standard for bunk beds and other elevated beds. It sets requirements for guard rail height, ladder design and structural load, and children under 6 should not use the top bunk.

Each bed size needs its own mattress. Australian single and king single sizes differ from UK and US sizes, so buy an Australian-specification mattress from the kids mattresses range to make sure it fits the frame correctly.

What Is Boori Furniture Made from in Australia?

Boori furniture is made from FSC-certified Australian Araucaria and European Beech timber, finished with low-VOC water-based finishes.

Alongside solid timber, some larger panels use engineered boards such as plywood and MDF, which keep wide surfaces flat and stable over time. Children's furniture board sold in Australia must meet E0-grade formaldehyde emission limits, so check the product details if this matters to you, and ask for the specification sheet at a showroom.

FSC stands for Forest Stewardship Council (fsc.org), the international body that certifies responsibly managed forests. European Beech is a dense hardwood used for cot frames, bed frames and structural rails. Araucaria, also known as hoop pine, is a plantation-grown Australian timber used for frames and cabinet construction.

Low-VOC, water-based finishes matter most in nurseries and children's bedrooms, where children spend long hours in an enclosed room. The finishes are also designed to wipe clean and handle everyday marks.

Durability is backed in writing. Boori furniture carries a 3-year warranty as standard, extendable to 5 years when you register your product. Registration details and claim steps are on the Boori warranty page.

What Australian Safety Standards Does Boori Furniture Meet?

Boori furniture meets AS/NZS 2172:2003 for cots, AS/NZS 4220:2010 for bunk and loft beds, and AS/NZS 8811.1:2013 for cot mattress firmness.

Product safety does not end at the factory. The ACCC recommends wall anchoring all freestanding furniture over 900mm tall in children's rooms to prevent tip-over, which includes wardrobes, tall chests and bookcases. Fit the anchor before your child uses the room.

Second-hand furniture needs extra checks. An older cot may have been made before the current standard, so look for the standard code on the product label, and inspect the slats, fixings and base before use. A used cot mattress should not be reused for a new baby, even if it looks clean, because its firmness may have changed. The same care applies to second-hand bunks: check that every guard rail and ladder rung is still secure.

For sleep safety, Red Nose Australia is the Australian authority. Its guidance includes placing babies on their back to sleep, using a firm, flat mattress, keeping loose bedding out of the cot for children under 2 and keeping the room at a comfortable temperature.

Is Boori Furniture Worth Buying in Australia?

Boori furniture is worth buying in Australia for families who want timber furniture that lasts through several stages, because the convertible designs, safety compliance and warranty offset a higher upfront price.

Boori sits in the mid-to-premium segment. You pay more than for flat-pack nursery furniture, but you get FSC-certified timber, AS/NZS-compliant cots and bunks, and a brand with more than 30 years in the Australian nursery market.

The strongest value case is the convertible cot. A separate toddler bed typically costs $300 to $600 at the 18-month transition. A convertible cot removes that purchase, which makes the higher upfront cost close to cost-neutral over four to five years of use.

The warranty adds to that case: 3 years as standard and 5 years when you register the product, as set out on the Boori warranty page. And because there are four showrooms, you can check the build quality in person before you commit.

Boori is less suited to families who want the lowest possible price for a short-term setup, or who plan to replace the furniture within a year or two.

What Should I Buy from Boori First?

What you buy from Boori first depends on your stage: buy a cot first if you are expecting, a single or king single bed if your child is leaving the cot, and a package deal if you are furnishing a whole nursery.

Whatever you buy, keep the model code from the product label, because the step-by-step instructions for each piece are listed by model on the Boori assembly guides page.

• Expecting a baby: start with the cot. Choose a standard cot for most house nurseries and a compact cot for apartments or shared rooms, and order the matching mattress at the same time.
• Moving out of a cot: choose a single bed for younger children, or a king single if you want a bed that lasts into the teen years.
• Furnishing a full nursery: a cot and chest of drawers bought together keep the finishes matched and usually cost less than buying separately.

Nursery and kids room bundles, including cot and chest of drawers sets in matching finishes, are grouped in the package deals collection.
