Help please with mattresses for childrens mid sleeper beds
Hi, thanks for all the great information on this site. We've just purchased mid sleeper beds for our children for Christmas and are now trying to find suitable mattresses. Our children are 3 and 5 yrs. Some people have said foam mattresses aren't good choices for children due to chemicals. But I wasn't sure about open coil. Will they trash a pocket sprung?
Or is a pocket sprung more than a child needs. I'm also aware they can't be deep mattresses either. I hope you can find time to help and advise here, there doesn't seem to be much information anywhere about children's mattresses. .
Hi Sally,
Thanks for your question.
We'd usually recommend for children of those ages to look at something like the Origins Comfort 1000.
John Ryan By Design Origins Comfort | |
---|---|
1 | 750gsm Very Soft Polyester |
2 | 500gsm Polyester Pad |
3 | One Inch Foam Insulator Layer |
4 | 1000 Spun Bond Pocket Springs |
This is a traditional pocket sprung mattress and is the softest mattress we retail in the Origins range.
You may find that you do also need to add a separate topper after a couple of weeks if they find it too firm at that stage.
The Comfort 1000 will allow them to grow with the mattress. For example, I have this mattress and I'm 15st.
We wouldn't really advise foams for children but if budget is an issue then it is feasible. You might, again, find that you need to add a separate topper.
I hope this has answered your questions fully but if you do have any further queries please don't hesitate to contact our office on 0161 437 4419.
Kind Regards, Lee.
