The transition from cot to crib is a transition from "baby life". It's important, therefore, that the child feels perfectly at ease in his new bed and on his new mattress. A good mattress not only provides comfort, but is also crucial for the child's postural health and growth. In this Kadolis article, we'd like to help you choose the right type of mattress for your child, and tell you which are the best children's mattresses on the market.
Factors to consider when choosing a children's mattress
When looking for the best mattress for your child, it's essential to consider several factors:
Firmness
Pediatricians and sleep experts recommend firm mattresses for growing children. A very or moderately firm mattress provides adequate support for the developing spine and prevents long-term postural problems.
Breathable materials
As children can be more sensitive to allergies and respiratory problems, it's important to choose a mattress made from natural, hypoallergenic, breathable materials that are anti-dust mite, anti-bacterial and free from harmful chemicals. These properties are found in latex, coconut fiber, TENCEL™ and Aloe Vera-coated mattresses.
Durability and resistance
Mattress durability is essential to guarantee quality sleep for years to come. Looking for mattresses with durability guarantees and accreditations that certify the quality of the materials is a wise investment for children's sleep.
Density
Mattress density also plays a crucial role in comfort and durability. A mattress with good density offers a perfect balance between support and comfort, guaranteeing children a good night's sleep.
The right size
The size of a child's mattress must be adapted to his or her age and build. A mattress that's too big can prevent the child from moving from crib to bed, while one that's too small can be uncomfortable and restrict movement during sleep.
thickness
We recommend that children's mattresses be between 12 and 17 cm thick. During this growth phase, the child's weight increases significantly. This thickness range is therefore optimal for gradually adapting to your child's weight.
Care: tips to prolong mattress life
Proper care is essential to keep your mattress in top condition. It's important to choose mattresses with removable covers, which can be turned periodically and used with protectors.
