Kids Mattresses & Beds

Throughout their childhoods, you kids will outgrow clothes, toys, and shoes—and they’ll outgrow their mattresses, too. Buying beds for kids will happen more than once in your life, so you should know how to shop to get the most out of your mattresses. 

At Sit ‘n Sleep, we have a wide selection of mattresses for children at every stage, so you’re sure to find what you’re looking for. We also have expert sleep consultants who can make recommendations for the best mattresses for kids based on your family’s needs to make shopping simple. 

How to Buy a Kids Mattress

Good sleep promotes healthy growth, emotional regulation, brain development, and so much more during the formative childhood years, which is why it is important to invest in quality children’s mattresses.

There are some important factors to keep in mind when selecting a mattress. Comfort is key; you want your child to get proper spinal and joint support so they sleep well through the night and don’t wake up complaining about aches and pains. 

Mattress firmness goes hand-in-hand with comfort. If the mattress in a children’s bed is too soft, it won’t offer the necessary postural support and can get too saggy over time. Too firm and your child may end up tossing and turning throughout the night due to discomfort. Taking your child to the mattress store allows them to test out mattresses—like Goldilocks!—to find the one that’s just right!

In addition to comfort, you’ll also want to make sure the mattress has fine craftsmanship, whether it’s made of memory foam, coils, or a hybrid of both. Durability ensures kids mattresses can stand up to wear and tear (including the occasional jumping up and down on the bed) and breathability will help your child stay cool through the night. Finally, if your child has allergies you’ll want to look for a hypoallergenic mattress.-

How to Buy a Kids Mattress Online

Can’t get to a mattress store with your children for in-person shopping? Online retailers offer convenience and a variety of options for you to choose from. If you need a mattress for a children’s bed, look for reputable retailers and well-known brands when browning online. Customer reviews can help you narrow down your selection, and you’ll get insights into the comfort level of a mattress that will be helpful because you can’t try out the mattress in a store.

Remember to pay attention to the size and thickness of the mattress when choosing one for your bed for your kids, to ensure it fits. It’s also important to note the warranty or any trial period, so you understand what options you have to return a mattress if it’s not right for your child.

Kids Mattress Size

Once a child is old enough to move from a crib or toddler bed, the most popular children’s mattress sizes include twin (for single beds or bunk beds) and full. Twin mattresses are good for smaller kids or smaller-size rooms, while full mattresses give older kids enough room as they grow. 

Popular Kids Mattress Brands

Sit ‘n Sleep offers kids mattresses from some of the top brands, including Avocado, Casper, Helix, and Encore Kids. Explore our options online or in one of our Southern California mattress stores!

More Mattress Considerations

In addition to the main considerations, consider how the mattress will work with your child’s bed frame; whether it’s waterproof and stain-resistant; and the type of warranty and what it covers. 

Need bed accessories, too? When you shop Sit ‘n Sleep for mattresses, you can also purchase sheets, pillows, pillowcases and shams, mattress and pillow protectors, and blankets.

At Sit ‘n Sleep, you’ll find a mattress that helps your child get high-quality sleep—and that will help you as a parent rest easy!
