Which mattress will be best for my children?

We understand how important sleep is to a child’s development, and that no two kids’ sleeping habits are the same. Our mattresses are available in all firmness levels, letting you tailor them to your child’s own personal needs.

With a range of leading kids’ mattress brands on offer, from Silentnight to JAY-BE,  you can rely on our collection to provide quality sleep no matter your budget.

Should a mattress for kids be firm or soft?

Mattress firmness is a subjective matter that comes down to personal preference, but different ratings typically work better based on how you sleep. If you have an older child, or they sleep on their side or back, a medium feel mattress may be the best fit. For front sleepers or younger children who need extra support, consider a firm mattress for a healthy spine alignment that will support them as they grow.

What type of kids’ mattress is best for my child?

The filling of your mattress can change how you sleep, and each type of mattress has its own upsides and downsides. Here are some of the most common types of children’s mattresses you’ll come across in our range:

Pocket sprung

With cloth-wrapped springs that let your child move without shifting the rest of the mattress, pocket-sprung mattresses are perfect for kids who toss and turn in the night. They also offer great support and weight distribution, aiding in providing a more relaxing sleep overall.

Memory foam

A memory foam mattress is great for a restless child, with a unique design that conforms to their body shape and promotes a consistent sleeping position. Memory foam is durable, long-lasting, and hypoallergenic, making it a great investment in improving your child’s sleep.

However, some children may find that memory foam mattresses retain more heat than other mattresses, so look for options with Coolgel properties if trying to keep your child cool at night. You can also add a waterproof mattress protector to your child’s bed, preventing any damage from night-time accidents.

Latex

Latex mattresses are great for children who get too hot at night, with breathable fabric that allows for airflow without compromising on the comfort of the mattress itself. They’re also naturally comfortable, with a luxurious finish to provide a great night’s sleep.

Waterproof

We know that not every night goes smoothly, so if your child wets the bed, consider opting for a waterproof mattress. Their design protects against moisture damage, meaning you don’t have to worry about the long-term effects of a night-time accident.

Are children’s mattresses anti-allergy?

If your child is susceptible to allergy-related irritations or bed bugs, consider buying an anti-allergy kids’ mattress. Whether a mattress is hypoallergenic depends on what material it’s made from, so latex, memory foam, and natural fillings are typically good options to avoid discomfort when sleeping.

Should you add a kid's mattress protector?

It’s important to take good care of your child’s mattress to make sure it stays in good condition for as long as possible. Mattress protectors help defend against wear and tear, making sure you get your money’s worth from each sleep. Additionally, waterproof mattress protectors are ideal if your child is prone to bed-wetting or night-time spills, guarding your mattress from any moisture damage.
