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 harder mattress than teenagers. The firm material 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 – a good all-round support level
- Soft – ideal for teenagers and grown ups
Material and ventilation
LIFETIME mattresses come with different cores such as foam, latex, and pocket springs. Latex 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.
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 for high beds and max. 14 cm for guest beds.
