Kids Mattresses

A kids' mattress is the single (90x190cm) or small-double (120x190cm) mattress sized for children's beds: foam, sprung, or hybrid construction, designed for the lighter weight and softer support a growing child needs. Aspire Furniture, Cheap Furniture Warehouse and Furniture in Fashion between them cover £23-£699 across the range. The firmness that suits a child differs from an adult. Children under 25kg need medium-soft to medium support; 25-50kg children need medium-firm (close to adult standard); over 50kg, treat as adult sizing. Foam-only kids' mattresses are the budget pick at £30-£100; hybrid foam-and-pocket-spring at £100-£250 lasts longer and grows with the child. Hypoallergenic covers help children with asthma or eczema; OEKO-TEX certification confirms the materials are free of harmful chemicals. Most kids' mattresses last 5-7 years before becoming compressed; budget for replacement around the same time as the next bed-size upgrade.
