Children's mattresses on offer

Children are in a constant phase of growth. A children's mattress specially tailored to the requirements of adolescents ensures that the growing body, and in particular the development of the spine, is supported in a child-friendly way during sleep. When buying a mattress, make sure that the new mattress is perfectly suited to your child's needs. This applies both to the perfect mattress size and to the firmness levels specifically recommended for children and teenagers.

The children's mattress - promotes healthy sleep in small and larger beds

Children's mattresses are generally much smaller than mattresses for adults. However, this should not lead you to believe that the requirements for children's sleeping surfaces are lower than those for adults. Children in particular need an additional level of support during the night in order to recover optimally from the impressions and adventures of the day. Children's mattresses are available in the following sizes with different support properties so that this can be achieved in children's beds of all sizes:

• Children's mattress 80x200 cm
• Children's mattress 90x200 cm
• Children's mattress 140x200 cm

Children's mattresses are recommended for toddlers, slightly older children and teenagers. In terms of size, they correspond to a mattress for single beds and offer adolescents sufficient space for many years as they grow before a mattress in the next larger size is required. With a children's mattress in the 140x200 cm format, the transition from childhood to adolescence is particularly comfortable without the need for a new mattress. A 140x200 cm children's mattress is therefore particularly economical, as it will accompany your child for many years and ensure healthy and restful sleep in all growth phases.

Foam mattresses for children are among the most popular children's mattresses due to their specific properties and excellent value for money. Made from cold foam or comfort foam, these particularly light sleeping pads adapt perfectly to the shape of your child's body and offer particularly good pressure relief.

So that you can be sure that your child is sleeping in a safe and healthy environment, free from harmful chemicals or pollutants, you should look for the OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 label when choosing a mattress. This certification guarantees that the children's mattress has been made exclusively from materials that have been proven to have no harmful effects on your child and that you can use with confidence.

Firm or soft children's mattress - the right firmness for every age of child

The ideal firmness of a children's mattress depends on various factors, such as the child's age, weight and personal preferences. Children's mattresses are therefore available in different firmness levels from medium to firm.

For lighter children, sleep experts usually recommend a softer mattress that offers sufficient comfort and support without feeling too hard. For slightly heavier children, a firmer mattress is recommended, which offers additional support without the child sinking too deeply into the mattress.

If you are already looking to the future and want to be sure that the firmness of the children's mattress will keep pace with your child's development, then a children's mattress with two different firmness levels (H2/H3) is the right solution. A reversible children's mattress with two firmness levels on the top and bottom of the mattress allows you to adapt the mattress to your child's growing needs. All you have to do is turn the mattress and your child can sleep either softer or firmer.

When buying a children's mattress, pay attention to the following points to ensure that the new mattress is perfectly tailored to your child's individual needs:

• Mattress size: the size of the children's mattress generally corresponds to the size of the bed.
• Firmness: The firmness of the mattress should be tailored to the weight and age of the child.
• Support: It is important for children that the mattress offers good support and at the same time adapts to the shape of the body.
• Testing for harmful substances: The OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 label guarantees that the children's mattress is made exclusively from materials that have been tested for harmful substances.
• Cleaning and care: The children's mattress should have an easily removable and washable mattress cover.
