Parents tend to be very demanding when it comes to choosing a mattress for their baby. We want the best for this fragile newborn, and we want a quality mattress to guarantee them a better night's sleep.
But, curiously, choosing a good mattress becomes more difficult when the baby moves on to the crib. The choice is reduced, and information is sometimes lacking. But don't be fooled into thinking that as children grow up and sleep through the night, mattress quality becomes less important. Choosing a children's mattress is just as crucial as choosing a baby's. Our children will use them for an average of 3 to 15 years. During this period, they will double in size and increase in weight considerably, so a quality mattress is essential.
What should I look for in a children's mattress?
Density and thickness
A child uses a single bed until at least the age of 15, and their weight can increase considerably in adolescence, so a mattress with a density of between 25 kg/m³ and 28 kg/m³ is recommended. For a child's mattress, the correct thickness is between 16 and 20 cm. A thicker mattress won't provide any extra comfort, and the mattress may protrude from the bed frame. Below this thickness, on the other hand, the mattress would be uncomfortable and would degrade too quickly.
Breathability
Choose mattresses made from materials that allow air to circulate and regulate temperature. These features keep your child cool and prevent excessive sweating during the night. At Kadolis, we carefully select the materials that make up our mattresses so that they meet these characteristics. We also look for materials with natural antibacterial and anti-mite properties.
Natural and organic materials
Whether for babies, children or adults, the quality of sleep will always be better on a mattress made from natural fibers. In fact, it's always healthier to sleep on a natural mattress than on petrochemical derivatives.
Safety
Certifications are essential to ensure your child's safety. OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 is the benchmark textile certification guaranteeing that your mattress or bedding contains no hazardous chemicals. Kadolis obtained its certificate in 2017 for the strictest level of requirement: product class 1 - Articles for babies and young children. It's important to make sure your child's mattress has this certification to give him or her a safe night's sleep.
