Latex Mattresses for Children

The recommended age for children to start sleeping on a bed and mattress, typically ranges from 18 to 36 months. However, every child is different – so look at your child’s size and if it’s time to move out of the cot, and onto a comfortable children’s mattress.

All mattresses lose some level of support and comfort after several years, which can affect the quality of your child’s sleep. What’s more, you probably don’t want your child sleeping on a few years of bacterial growth, mould and (someone else’s) dried up pee!

As a baby sleeps from 11 to 17 hours per day, we strongly encourage you to buy a new baby mattress for your bundle of joy.

All kinds of irritants can disrupt your child’s sleep. When a child suffers from allergies, it can be nerve wrecking.  Latex is primarily anti-fungal, anti-bacterial and excellent at body heat management. It is ideal for babies and children due to its natural hypo allergenicity, dust mite resistance, and antimicrobial properties which inhibits the growth of bacteria, mould and mildew which are contributors to asthma and pulmonary function allergies.  Sofzsleep mattresses come with an easily removable mattress covers that can be removed for cleaning in order to maintain a hygienic sleep environment for your child.

It is important to give the child plenty of room to stretch out and grow when sleeping. If you notice that your child’s feet or head brush the ends of the mattress frequently, it’s time to set them up with a full-size mattress. When the child has become heavier, a good mattress is needed in providing better sleep comfort and body support. Preferably involving your child to pick out their own mattress and bedding when shop in person, give them a sense of responsibilities and motivate them to sleep alone as a big child.
