Growing bodies need the right support — too soft and the spine misaligns, too hard and sleep gets uncomfortable.
What Size Mattress for Kids?
| Age | Best Size |
|---|---|
| 2–7 years | Single |
| 7–12 years | Single or Small Double |
| 12+ years | Small Double recommended |
Small doubles = more space for comfort + growing limbs!
Mattress Types — Which Works Best?
| Type | Ideal For | Benefits |
|---|---|---|
| Pocket sprung | Balanced comfort | Support + airflow |
| Memory foam | Older kids/teens | Pressure relief |
| Hybrid | All ages | Best of both worlds |
| Bunk-safe | Upper bunks | Lightweight & lower profile |
Firmness Guide
