Thinking about getting a new mattress for your little one? You have come to the right place. We have two fantastic mattress options that work well for kids across various age groups, but we do have one that we feel is the best choice for kids overall. Before we delve into the answer, we want to highlight why having a non-toxic mattress will be the best decision for your child.
The importance of a good non-toxic mattress for kids
Many reports show up to 25% of young kids can struggle to fall asleep (and stay that way) regularly. While numerous factors can contribute to these sleepless nights, one of the biggest factors can be the mattress they sleep on.
Most mattresses use materials that contain harmful chemicals which can off-gas as your little one sleeps. This may potentially provoke allergic reactions and disrupt sleep, possibly causing symptoms like itchy skin and nasal congestion. That is why it is essential to get a naturally hypoallergenic option that has minimal triggers within the material, like our natural latex mattresses.
Both mattresses have great benefits for kids
As mentioned before, both mattresses are great for a healthy sleeping experience. The Hybrid Mattress combines natural latex layers with a 3-zone pocket spring layer to provide comfortable support across the 3 main sleep zones. Plus, it's a budget-friendly choice, perfect for families mindful of expenses. The Latex Mattress, on the other hand, consists of 3 natural latex layers to provide the perfect premium blend of non-toxic support and comfort.
Both options share some fantastic benefits that make them great choices for kids:
-
Non-Toxic: Crafted from pure rubber sap, our mattresses are free from harmful chemicals, toxins, polyurethane foams, or chemical adhesives. Each mattress is made with materials backed by international certification bodies, ensuring a safe and healthy sleep environment for your little one.
-
Comfortable: The cushioning support from natural latex is both supple and springy, providing a comfy sleeping experience. For extra customisation, you can choose to include a Plush or Firm Mattress Topper, providing the flexibility to tailor the comfort according to your little one’s sleeping preference.
-
Cool and Breathable: Many people feel like they get too hot while they sleep, and kids are no exception. Materials like memory foam are notorious for trapping heat within the material. Made from 100% natural latex rubber sap and 100% organic cotton, these mattresses allow for easy dissipation of body and room heat, preventing overheating during sleep. The natural breathability of the latex material helps to keep kids cooler as they sleep.
-
Antimicrobial: Latex naturally resists harmful microbes like mould, mildew, and dust mites, promoting a healthy sleep environment. This helps reduce the potential triggers for allergies which can disrupt a peaceful night’s rest.
-
Environmental Sustainability: Crafted from the sap of rubber trees using eco-friendly hand-tapping methods, natural latex offers durability and biodegradability. Take comfort in knowing you are investing in a longer-lasting mattress that is eco-friendly. Choosing a mattress with natural latex isn't just beneficial for your child's sleep; it's a conscious choice that improves both their future and the health of our planet.
Which option do we recommend for kids?
If we were asked to give a specific recommendation for a kids’ mattress, we would advise choosing the Latex Mattress . The premium materials and quality, non-toxic properties, and sustainable design make it a fantastic choice for kids to grow with. Some key benefits of the Latex Mattress include:
-
Premium Materials: As mentioned before, the latex mattress fully consists of 3 premium layers of natural latex, covered by the organic cotton cover. The resilience of natural rubber and the premium handmade quality of the Peace Lily Latex Mattress ensures it retains its shape for many years. Backed by a 25-year warranty, you can trust in its quality and long-lasting performance.
-
Flippable Firmness:It offers two firmness options—Medium density (D65) and Firm density (D75)—that can be easily flipped to suit their preferred comfort level. This versatility in sleep experience is something most mattresses don't offer. It's also ideal for accommodating your child’s growth from toddlerhood through their teenage years and into adulthood. Additionally, you can pair it with one of our toppers to achieve the perfect level of comfort they desire.
Important note for kids: Please be aware that the mattress cover is not removable. We understand that kids can sometimes have little accidents while still in that in-between phase. For peace of mind, we recommend using a fitted waterproof mattress protector.
