Kids' Mattresses

Choose the perfect mattress for your child's growth

What type of mattress is best for kids?

The best type of kids mattress is one that supports your child's growth and development. Their mattress should be the correct size for their age, with enough room to grow. A kids mattress needs to be supportive, comfortable, breathable and ideally hypoallergenic, too. The best kids mattress should also be high-quality and durable, like our great range of Silentnight kids mattresses.

How to choose a mattress for kids

A useful thing to think about when choosing a child's mattress is will they grow out of it. Mattresses should be replaced every 7 years. Before purchasing a kids' mattress, consider the height of your child as well as your own height. If you think your child will exceed the length of the mattress within 7 years, consider a larger mattress.

Another important issues is whether your child has allergies. Check to see if the mattress contains any materials that may set off your child's allergies.

How firm should a mattress be for a child?

A kids mattress should be firm - without compromising on comfort - to best support their development. A supportive mattress helps encourage healthy and natural spinal alignment. This is true for everyone, but particularly important for children as they grow. All our kids mattresses and cot bed mattresses are highly supportive for this reason.
