A child’s mattress plays a critical role in helping them get the right amount and quality of sleep that’s essential for healthy living. The right mattress supports the sort of deep and restful sleep that developing children need, but how do you choose a mattress for your child? The following information will help you select the best mattress that’ll hopefully help your child get the much needed rest they need to succeed both in their studies and in life!

Size — Firstly, you should start by deciding what size of mattress you should buy for your child. As kids start out small, most parents choose a twin mattress. That might not be the right choice, however. If space allows, consider getting a full-size mattress which will make cuddling and story time with your child a little more comfortable. If you’re buying for a young child, consider a Bunkie or low profile board to reduce the bed’s overall height. Also bear in mind that your child’s new mattress could last 10 years, and rather than purchasing a smaller size and a larger one after they’ve grown, you can make one purchase now to last a long time!

Comfort — Everyone needs a mattress that provides adequate support and comfort, and this applies to kids as well! If your kids are older, you can involve them in the purchasing process and have their help when determining which mattress to purchase. When searching for a new mattress, it’s great to visit a local mattress store so you can lie down on and physically feel each option, check out its level of support and comfort, and learn more about each of your choices from a professional.

The numerous mattress options available out there can make selecting your child’s new mattress a challenge. Please follow our guide to make the task easier.
