Children's mattress

What is the best mattress for a child? This is a question that often comes up in the minds of parents. We can choose from foam mattresses of various structures, mattresses with coconut insert and many, many more. Which mattress should I choose for a child? In order not to get lost among thousands of offers, it is worth relying on a verified opinion - that's why in this category you will learn about mattresses recommended by the Institute of Mother and Child.

Foam mattresses for children

It's worth breaking down a false stereotype here – many people consider foam mattresses to be an inferior alternative to spring mattresses. However, this isn't true – a good foam mattress placed on a firm base (e.g., bed rails) behaves similarly to its spring counterpart.

A foam mattress is springless, so there's no risk of metal elements puncturing the mattress cover. High-density polyurethane or polypropylene foam doesn't dent and always returns to its original shape. If dents remain on a foam mattress, it's a sign of poor quality. Which mattress should you choose for a two-year-old? Check out mattresses like the Hevea Duo Activia foam mattress or the Hilding Anders Dobranocka foam mattress. These products are recommended by the Institute of Mother and Child, meaning they have met a number of stringent requirements.

Mattresses with coconut insert for children

Coconut inserts used in mattresses are made of coconut fiber obtained from coconut shells. The task of this insert is to stiffen the foam insert and to improve the air flow inside the mattress. Mattresses with a coconut fiber insert have many supporters, but it should be remembered that coconut can cause allergies - in mattresses for allergy sufferers, natural inserts are usually not used.

A mattress for a floor for a child

Floor mattresses are the perfect protection for everyday games. They can be useful not only when learning to walk, but also when organizing a playground. They are made of lightweight materials that well cushion a possible fall - for example, polyurethane foam or polyester. This type of product is, for example, the Matlander SMART mattress-carpet for the floor (opinion number: Op-5233/2019).
