Which mattress should I choose?
Choosing the right mattress for your child is an important decision. The right mattress not only ensures a good night’s sleep – it also supports your child’s growing body.
At LIFETIME Kidsrooms, you’ll find a range of mattresses in different sizes, materials and firmness levels – all designed especially for children and teenagers in mind.
But how do you know which one is the right one?
Here’s our guide to help you find the perfect mattress for your child’s needs.
What to consider before choosing a mattress
Age and size
Younger children need a more supportive mattress than teenagers. A firm mattress supports the body while it is growing and the older the child gets the softer can the mattress be. A soft mattress offers better pressure relief, improved comfort for side sleepers, and reduced joint or shoulder pain for grown bodies.
Firmness
The firmness determines how much support the mattress provides.
-
Firm – suited for younger children and toddlers
- Medium firm – a good all-round support level
- Medium firm - soft – ideal for teenagers and grown ups
Material and ventilation
LIFETIME mattresses come with different cores such as soft foam, cold foam, latex foam and pocket springs. Latex foam mattresses offer durability, natural cooling, hypoallergenic properties, pressure relief, and responsive support for proper spinal alignment, while Pocket spring mattresses provide targeted support, absorb motion during sleeping and enhance airflow.
Hygiene and maintenance
A removable, washable cover makes it easier to keep the mattress clean and hygienic – which is especially important in a child’s room. Our mattresses provide a soft quilted cover that is either treated or naturally anti-allergic. All covers can be opened with zippers, so that the cover can be removed for cleaning.
Bed type and size
Our mattresses are available in sizes that fit LIFETIME beds. Always check that the mattress height fits it's purpose – for example, max. 16 cm height for high beds and max. 14 cm height for guest beds.
