What Is the Best Mattress for Kids?

Finding the best mattress for kids can play a key part in your child getting a good night’s sleep and waking up refreshed. Though quality sleep is undoubtedly essential for everyone, it is critical for kids to get a good night’s sleep while they’re in their developmental years. Our sleeping habits affect our mental and physical maturation, playing a vital role in a growing body. Sleeping on the right mattress from an early age can have a positive impact on the rest of your life.

Amerisleep AS1

Amerisleep AS3

The AS1 is Amerisleep’s firmest mattress model, and we like this mattress for children because it has pressure-relieving memory foam to prevent pain and is supportive enough to keep your child sleeping in a healthy, neutral position. We also like Amerisleep’s mattresses because they’re made with partially plant-based memory foam, cutting out a significant portion of petroleum used to make memory foam and replacing it with castor oil, reducing the number of harsh chemicals your child is sleeping on.

Let’s break down the construction of this mattress. First, all Amerisleep mattresses have a lightweight fabric cover to promote airflow through the bed. 

Next, is a comfort layer of plant-based Bio-Pur® material. Bio-Pur® has an ultra-porous structure, making it more breathable compared to ordinary foam mattresses; this prevents heat retention and to ensure your child won’t sleep hot. The base layer below is made from plant-based Bio-Core® foam, providing the mattress with support and durability.

Thickness

The Amerisleep AS1 is a comfortable 10 inches in height, making it the perfect size for a child to climb in alone or with minimal assistance. At this size, it’s able to fit into most bed frames, giving you more freedom when choosing the decor for your child’s room.

Temperature Control

Temperature control is a priority when manufacturing the foam in Amerisleep mattresses. Every layer is created to be breathable and wicks away excess body heat. Even if your child is a hot sleeper or tends to sweat a lot throughout the night, Amerisleep mattresses will do a great job at keeping them cool and comfortable.

Motion Isolation

Amerisleep’s proprietary memory foam absorbs motion so even the most restless of sleepers won’t be disturbed by their movement.

Off-gassing

Even though memory foam mattresses are known for their unpleasant smells, Amerisleep’s plant-based foam is far less likely to emit sleep-disturbing, chemical-like odors.

Sleep Trial

Every Amerisleep mattress comes with a 100-night sleep trial beginning on the date of delivery. This gives your child the chance to sleep on the Amerisleep for a few months before you decide whether or not it’s the best option. If your child breaks the mattress in and isn’t happy with its feel, you have the option to return your mattress for a full refund.

Warranty

Amerisleep mattresses come with one of the longest warranties in the industry, 20 years. For the first 10 years of the warranty, they will replace your mattress if it becomes defective. For the latter 10 years, they will replace your original mattress for 50% off the original price. For your mattress to be considered “defective,” it must have a visible sag of .75 inches.

Zoma Mattress

zoma mattress

The Zoma Mattress was designed with active people in mind, and who is more active than kids? With its three-zone support layout and a breathable cover, the Zoma mattress works to rejuvenate muscles and allow a growing body proper rest.

The spandex and polyester blend that the cover is made of is breathable to allow better airflow. Its synthetic properties also encourage a cooling effect and work to wick away moisture. This cover is designed to stretch and adapt to the zoned-support layer underneath. This enhances the effectiveness of pressure point support, keeping your kid’s spine aligned. 

The comfort layer of this mattress is heat-fighting gel memory foam with pain-relieving Triangulex™ technology. This layer naturally conforms to the sleeper’s body to alleviate aches and pains and promote healthy sleep and muscle recovery. To better promote neutral spinal alignment, this layer is split into three support zones: the lumbar area is firmer to enhance support while triangle cutouts below the shoulders and hips prevent pressure points.

Under the comfort layer lies 2 inches of Reactiv™ foam. Reactiv™, as the name suggests, reacts to movement and responds to pressure to enhance pressure relief and keep you lifted. 

The last layer within the Zoma Mattress is Support+. This layer is by far the thickest and most supportive, as it reinforces the structure of the mattress and increases its longevity.     

Thickness

The Zoma Mattress is 11 inches tall. It comes compressed in a box and needs 6-8 hours to fully expand to its natural shape.  

Temperature control

The lightweight cover and breathable Triangulex™ technology work in tandem to keep this mattress cool. As mentioned before, the synthetic blend of the cover encourages better breathability and wicks away moisture from the sleeper, while the triangle-shaped cutouts within the comfort layer encourage airflow to provide a subtle cooling effect.

Motion Isolation

The three foam layers found within this mattress absorb motion really well, this is especially good if your kid will be sharing their mattress with a sibling. Even if one of them tosses and turns throughout the night, or gets up for frequent bathroom breaks, the other one can still achieve good rest.

Off-gassing

All foam layers within the Zoma mattress are CertiPUR-US® certified and low in VOCs, so they’re less likely to off-gas upon unboxing.  

Sleep Trial

Zoma Sleep offers a 100-night risk-free sleep trial with every purchase.  Plus, delivery and returns are free, too! 

Warranty

Zoma backs their mattresses with a generous 10-year warranty, protecting you from visible sags and indentations greater than .75 inches. 

Vaya Mattress

Best Affordable Mattress - Vaya Mattress

The Vaya Mattress is another medium foam mattress option for children, and we like this mattress for its affordability and simplicity. When it comes to Vaya, you can find a sleep-enhancing mattress for your growing child without having to invest a ton of money.

The Vaya contains two layers, so it has a pretty straightforward design. The first layer is 3 inches of Vaya Comfort Foam followed by 9 inches of Vaya Base Foam. It’s wrapped in a breathable, lightweight cover to prevent heat retention and promote sound sleep.

The Vaya’s feel is cushioning but responsive, soft but not too soft, and firm but not too firm. It’s perfect for most sleepers and comes with a risk-free sleep trial, too.

Thickness

The Vaya is 12 inches thick and relatively light, making it easy to transport and set up. This mattress can be placed upon a box spring bed base, slatted bed frame, and an adjustable bed. It should not be kept on the floor though, as moisture can accumulate under the mattress increasing the risk of mold.

Temperature control

The Vaya Mattress is made from open-cell Vaya foam which is much more breathable compared to traditional memory foam. In addition to its breathable cover, the Vaya is a pretty cooling mattress. Of course, if your child tends to sleep really hot or sweats a lot, then perhaps going for a latex or hybrid alternative would be better. But for an average kid, the Vaya Mattress will be great.

Motion Isolation

Motion transfer within this mattress is pretty much non-existent. This is great if you’ll have more than one kid sleeping on this bed. All-foam mattresses are known for their good motion isolation. And this two-layered mattress is no different from the rest.

Off-gassing

Once unpacked, there might be a subtle smell coming from the new mattress. It should be left to expand and “breathe” fo a minimum of 4 hours before sleeping on it. 

However, the mattress will reach its full size in 24 hours, after which there will be no more smell.

Sleep Trial

Although the Vaya Mattress is so cheap, it still comes with a 100-night sleep trial. This allows you to feel and see the quality of the mattress in real life, even have your kid sleep on it. And if the quality will meet your expectations after a couple of months, it’s great. If not, then you can ask for a full refund.

Warranty

Vaya Sleep also offers an industry-standard warranty of 10 years. Again, we’re surprised that a mattress so budget-friendly comes with the same guarantees as luxury brands.

The Spindle Mattress

spindle mattress

The Spindle mattress is made from 100% natural latex, making it naturally hypoallergenic and antimicrobial; both of which are important properties for a sleeping child.

All Spindle mattresses have a cover made from organic cotton and natural wool, this helps wick away moisture and provides a cooling effect. The first, second, and third layers are each formed from 3 inches of firm, natural Dunlop latex. Though there is no targeted support throughout the layers, the elasticity of latex helps align the spine and supportively shape the back. This provides a good foundation for a developing spine.

Thickness

The Spindle mattress stacks up at a comfortable height of 10 inches, a perfect height for your little one.

Temperature Control

Spindle covers are designed to create a cool sleeping environment and latex has a natural cooling effect. Taking these two factors into consideration, the Spindle does pretty well in regards to temperature control; but, is still not the coolest on our list.

Motion Isolation

Because all three layers are made from latex, the Spindle mattress tends to be bouncier than other options; therefore, motion transfers easily throughout the bed.

Off-gassing

Latex does not usually emit too much of an odor; however, it may have a slight scent when first unpackaged but should dissipate within a few hours.

Sleep Trial

Every Spindle mattress comes with a 365-night sleep trial; this lets your kid try their new mattress for a whole year before you have to decide whether or not it’s the best option. If you decide against keeping your Spindle mattress during the year period, they will refund you in full after you have donated the mattress to charity and provided proof of donation.

Warranty

Spindle offers a 10-year limited warranty on all of their mattresses. The warranty covers against “failed” latex; for latex to meet warranty requirements it must have a visible sag of at least .75 inches. Once Spindle deems your mattress defective, they will replace it for you. They also offer their customers a 25-year comfort program, a great bonus if you’re buying a mattress for your kid. The 25-year comfort program allows you to buy replacement parts or refurbish your mattress at a discounted price. This can extend the lifespan of your mattress well beyond 10 years, allowing your child to get the most life out of their mattress.

The Bear mattress

bear mattress

The Bear is another all-foam mattress on this list. It’s made from three environmentally-friendly foam layers and is rated as Firm. This mattress would be most suited for kids that sleep primarily on their stomach. The firmness prevents their hips from sinking too deep into the mattress which keeps the body supported and the spine aligned. 

The cover of the Bear mattress is made from Celliant® material. This fabric is infused with thermo-reactive minerals to help regulate the body temperature of the sleeper. It works by absorbing excess body heat and transforming it into infrared energy. This energy then gets sent back towards the body, which increases local blood flow and muscle rejuvenation.

The first 2-inch layer that comes right beneath the cover is made from graphite-gel infused memory foam. The graphite-gel further enhances the cooling effects of the mattress and offers more bounce. This will allow your kid to sleep in a cooler environment and move easily in their sleep.

The second 2-inch thick layer is made from responsive transition poly-foam. This is where the pressure point relief and support are found within the mattress. It’s also what keeps the spine aligned through the night, ensuring a healthy and beneficial sleep. 

The third layer of the Bear mattress is a 6-inch thick high-density support foam. This is the base of the mattress, that supports the two layers above and the sleeper on top.

Thickness

The Bear mattress is 10 inches tall and 70 lbs heavy – a light mattress that’s easy to transport and set up. This mattress is also versatile enough to be placed on just about any flat, hard surface, including the floor.

Temperature control

The Celliant® cover and the graphite-gel provide very good temperature control. In fact, this is one of the coolest all-foam mattresses on the market. There’s no trapped heat that’s common with traditional memory foam mattresses. Instead, only a cool and restful sleep.

Motion Isolation

The Bear mattress isolates motion well. However, due to the properties of the gel-infused foam, the mattress is more buoyant compared to the others. This means that if your kids will be sharing the mattress and one of them is a restless sleeper, the other one might be awakened during the night.   

Off-gassing

Same as with the Vaya mattress, the Bear might have a slight scent of a “new mattress” once it’s unpacked from the box. This should dissipate really quickly though, leaving the mattress scentless. 

Sleep Trial

The Bear comes with a 100-night sleep trial, which means you can return the mattress if you don’t like it. But this trial is valid only for 100 nights since the original date of purchase, and the mattress can be returned only after spending 30 days on it. 

Warranty

With the purchase of the Bear mattress, you’ll automatically get a 10-year warranty. This will cover any defects or manufacturing faults of the mattress, allowing you to either get a full refund or a replacement. It’s important to note that the cover is under a 1-year warranty only. So if a zipper breaks or something else happens to the cover after 1 year, the fix will have to be out of your own pocket.

The Nolah Original 10 Mattress

The Nolah Original 10 is a cooling and supportive memory foam mattress. They stand as one of the most breathable mattresses on our list, as they claim to be “100% temperature neutral.” Their unique technology absorbs and traps excess body heat, leaving the sleeper cool and comfortable throughout the night.

The natural, viscose cover of the mattress wicks away moisture, providing a dry and cool sleeping environment. The first layer is a 2-inch special Airfoam memory foam, and this is where temperature control happens. The layer below is made from supportive, high-resilience foam, providing a subtle bounce as well. The Nolah Mattress has been scientifically proven to provide 4x less peak pressure on the hips, shoulders, and back than other memory foam mattresses.

The bottom layer consists of 7 inches of high-density base foam; this is what provides the mattress with good support and longevity. Though the Nolah Original 10 is the softest option on our list, the design still provides sufficient support for a growing spine.

Thickness

The Nolah Original 10 mattress comes in at a comfortable 10 inches in height, making it a conveniently-sized mattress for your child.

Temperature Control

The AirFoam layer design is filled with tons of tiny air pockets, which give the mattress good temperature control. Though it is not as breathable as some other options on this list, the Nolah Original 10 still maintains good temperature control.

Motion Isolation

Though this choice has decent motion isolation, the second layer has a bit of a bounce; we wouldn’t recommend this mattress if your child will be sharing the bed.

Off-gassing

Because the Nolah Original 10 is an all-foam mattress, there is an increased chance of off-gassing upon opening. If after a few days of airing out, the mattress still has an odor, contact the company.

Sleep Trial

Nolah gives you up to 120 nights to try their mattress out. They do require you test the mattress for a minimum of 30 days, or the duration of the adjustment period, before opting to send it back. If you do end up having to return your mattress, Nolah will come pick it up and refund you in full.

Warranty

The Nolah Original 10 comes with a 15-year limited warranty covering any sag in the surface of the mattress exceeding 1.5 inches in height, defective seams or zippers, and any physical damage to the foam caused by the craftsmanship of the mattress.

The Brentwood Home Cedar Mattress

The Brentwood Home Cedar mattress is the most eco-friendly model Brentwood Home has to offer. Made from Dunlop latex, pocketed coils, organic wool, and coconut husk, it radiates nature. This hybrid mattress is an environmentally-friendly option for a child’s bed.

The cover of this mattress is made from organic cotton and natural wool; designed to provide comfort and wick away moisture to create an optimal sleeping environment. The first layer is 2 inches of eco-friendly Dunlop latex, giving the mattress a quicker response to pressure. The layer below consists of computer-designed grooved latex. The grooves aims to provide extra support to the legs, shoulders, and back, an excellent benefit for a developing body.

The third layer is a flaxseed fiber pad, functioning as a transitional layer between the latex and coils. Below lies a pocketed coil system, these coils are designed to collaborate with the latex layer above to provide the spine the support it needs for healthy development. This layer also adds two extra support zones at the edges of the mattress. Finally, the base of the mattress is a coconut husk pad, making it more eco-friendly than a typical base.

Thickness

The Brentwood Home Cedar is the tallest mattress on our list, towering over our other choices at 13 inches. Before buying this mattress, make sure the height will work with both your bed frame and your child.

Temperature Control

The innerspring coils and natural latex provide the mattress with adequate breathability, and many customer reviews mention the mattress sleeps nice and cool. If your child is a hot sleeper, this mattress is an option to consider.

Motion Isolation

Motion transfers quite easily through this mattress due to its innerspring coils. If multiple kids will be sharing this mattress, it’s not the best choice.

Off-gassing

This mattress has some minimal odors when you first unpackage it; however, they should dissipate in a day or two. All in all, this mattress doesn’t lose any points for off-gassing.

Sleep Trial

Brentwood Home offers you a whole year to test their mattress out and decide if it’s the best fit for you. They do require you to test it for a minimum of 30 nights. Should you decide against keeping the mattress, you have the option to return it.

Warranty

Brentwood home specifically offers mattresses for kids. Their mattresses for kids and crib mattresses are covered by a 10-year limited warranty. Their other mattresses are covered by a 25-year limited warranty. After looking on their website, it’s hard to tell what their warranty covers. Before buying, be sure to ask for the details of the warranty as it’s especially important the mattress you buy for your kids will last.

The Alexander Signature Hybrid Mattress

The Alexander Signature Hybrid Mattress is a hybrid made from gel memory foam, latex-like foam, and a pocketed coil system. It is designed to provide optimal support and bounce necessary for a good night’s sleep.

The cover of this mattress is made from a cotton and polyester blend, quilted with 1.5 inches of gel memory foam giving it a pillow top feel with a cooling effect. The first layer is made from their TitanChill Endurance Foam, as the name suggests, it’s designed to promote breathability and pressure relief. The layer below is their copper-infused support foam; this layer provides bounce, cooling and has properties to help natural spine alignment, which is vital for a growing body.

The third layer is a SmartFlow support foam layer; the support foam’s job is to make a smooth transition from the memory foam to the innerspring. The base layer of this mattress consists of 8-inch tall pocketed coils; the pocketed coils are meant to limit motion transfer and work great for a developing spine. This layer provides the mattress with even more support and breathability. Overall, this mattress maintains the spine’s natural alignment while supporting the rest of the pressure points.

Thickness

At 12.5 inches tall, The Alexander Signature Hybrid Mattress is one of the taller options on this list. Depending on the age of your child, this may or may not be an issue.

Temperature Control

This mattress has a unique feature, copper-infused foam. When combined with the layer of pocketed coils, it promotes a cool sleeping environment.

Motion Isolation

Taking into consideration the innerspring coil system of this mattress, the Alexander Signature Hybrid Mattress has very good motion isolation.

Off-gassing

There is a chance of a minimal amount of off-gassing with this mattress. Most reviews mention there were no odors at all, while others said their mattress had a “new mattress smell” for a few days, but it dissipated rather quickly.

Sleep Trial

Your Alexander Signature Hybrid comes with a 100-night sleep trial. They do require you to test the bed for a minimum of 30 nights, but if you decide afterward it’s not the most comfortable option for your kid, you have the option to return it for a full refund.

Warranty

Nest bedding offers a lifetime warranty with their mattresses. Should your mattress develop an indentation of at least one-inch, they will either repair or return your mattress for you.

Eight Factors to Consider

Firmness

A firmer mattress will be the best choice for a kid because it provides the proper support to relieve pressure points and maintain the spines natural alignment in all sleeping positions. Having consistent support allows the body to grow and develop the way it should, so your child isn’t waking up with aches and pains in the morning.

Size

It may make sense to buy a twin-sized mattress for your little one since he or she is still small and growing. However, a good quality mattress is supposed to last at least ten years. More than likely, your kid will outgrow a smaller mattress before it’s time to replace it; to save yourself the headache of buying a new mattress a few years down the line, opt for a larger size, to begin with.

Thickness

The editors at Simply Rest recommend getting a mattress around 10 inches in height. Anything taller will make it difficult for your kid to get in and out of bed, while anything thinner won’t provide the proper support your child needs.

Temperature Control

Temperature control is a crucial feature for any mattress. Sleeping on a bed with no breathability can cause you to overheat during the night, leaving you waking up uncomfortable and restless.

Motion Isolation

Motion isolation isn’t a big priority when looking for a mattress for your child unless your kid will be sharing the bed with a sibling or other family member.

Off-gassing

Some mattresses are known to release unpleasant, lingering odors; especially all-foam mattresses. This is something some adults can overlook, but the unpleasant smells are caused by harmful chemicals used to create your mattress. It’s important to make sure the mattress you buy won’t have any off-gassing and your child is not exposed to any harmful chemical odors.

Sleep Trial

Sleep trials eliminate the worry of buying online and being stuck with a mattress you’re unhappy with. Most companies will let you buy their mattress and try it in your own home for a few months before committing to your purchase. During your sleep trial, you’re able to return for a full refund, or with some brands, exchange your mattress for a better fit. If you opt to buy online, make sure you read the fine print about the sleep trial to make sure your child won’t be stuck with an uncomfortable mattress. It’s important to note, when transitioning mattresses there will be an adjustment cycle your child’s body has to go through. This adjustment may cause some discomfort, so it’s recommended you give your mattress a fair chance before jumping to return it.

Warranty Information

Mattresses are not cheap to buy and meant to last around a decade, it’s important you’re buying from a company that will replace or repair your mattress if it becomes defective.

How Often You Should Change Your Child’s Mattress

There are a few factors determining when it’s time to change your kid’s mattress; the current mattress size, the current mattress quality, and the current state of the mattress.

The Size

If your child is outgrowing their mattress, it’s time to upgrade. Even if the mattress is still in good shape, if your child doesn’t fit the mattress, it can lead to a variety of developmental problems. Mattresses are designed with specific zones of support in mind; if the size is wrong, those zones will be wrong as well.

The Quality

The average lifespan for a typical mattress is ten years; some mattresses go flat after a few years, and others still feel like new a decade after purchase. Check your child’s mattress regularly for bumps, lumps, and broken springs. If the surface is even and supportive, it is still in good shape. On the other hand, if you notice any deformities, it’s time to change it out.

The Current State of the Mattress

Though washing the cover will get rid of any staining on top, any spills that have seeped through the mattress will remain there over time. These stains can attract bacteria and allergens, causing health problems in both the short and long-term; a bed with stains is not healthy for your child. It’s less risky to invest in a new mattress for your child, and even a waterproof topper to prevent any future spills causing permanent damage.

Different Mattress Types

There are four main mattress types right now, each with their unique pros and cons. Understanding the differences between mattress types will help you choose the best mattress for your own sleep needs.

Innerspring Coils

Innerspring mattresses have been around for over a century; these coil systems were first found in horse carriage seats and later adapted to be used in mattresses. Over time, innerspring coils have evolved into four main types:

The Bonnell coil is the first type of coil invented, and its shape resembles an hourglass. They were designed to provide a reasonable amount of both comfort and support; however, they tend to be on the cheaper side, and its price tends to be a reflection of its quality.

Offset coils are very similar to Bonnell coils, the only main difference being their angular tops. These coils are known to function better and last longer than Bonnell coils but are still inferior to pocketed coils.

A continuous coil is made from bending one long wire into “S” shapes to fill the whole mattress. This type of coil tends to last longer than Bonnell coil and Offset coil; however, it is not as comfortable or practical as the pocketed coil.

Pocketed coils are individually wrapped in fabric, creating better pressure-zone support and motion isolation. Though they are the most expensive coil to buy, they last the longest and provide the most comfortable sleeping environment.

Latex

Latex comes in three variations:

Natural latex is by far the most superior and expensive latex foam; crafted from the sap of rubber trees, this foam is durable and healthy. It’s also hypoallergenic and naturally mold and dust-mite resistant.

Synthetic latex is created from petroleum-based materials, a cheap replica to natural latex foam. Although they may look similar, they function very differently. Additionally, synthetic latex is less durable, much hotter to sleep in, and unhealthy for both your child and the environment.

Blended latex is a mixture of natural and synthetic latex, with properties standing in between the other two types of latex.

Memory Foam

Perhaps the most popular mattress material, memory foam comes in three types:

Nasa first invented traditional memory foam for their spacecraft and uniforms. Made from petroleum-based materials, it has a very slow response rate, giving it it’s iconic contouring effect. Unfortunately, it isn’t very breathable.

Gel memory foam is infused with cooling gel particles and sleeps much cooler when compared to traditional memory foam. It also has a faster response rate than traditional memory foam. Though it is more expensive than traditional memory foam, it’s not the most costly option and overall a pretty good material to sleep on.

Plant-based memory foam is superior and more expensive than the other foams mentioned above. The production of plant-based memory foam cuts out a significant portion of petroleum and replaces it with castor oil, making it a more eco-friendly and healthy option for your body. Because of the way it’s manufactured, it does not emit any unpleasant odors and is very breathable.

If you’re specifically looking for an eco-friendly bed, check out our other guide to find the best natural and organic mattress options.

Hybrid

Hybrid mattresses are made from two parts, innerspring and foam. Sometimes these designs include a double layer of innerspring or multiple layers of different variations of foam. There is no specific recipe for a hybrid mattress, so there is a variety of beds on the market. The one rule of thumb is the foam is always on top of the innerspring.

These mattresses are known for being very breathable, supportive, and responsive. However, they have a heftier price tag and, typically, a lackluster warranty. Because hybrids include coils, there is an increased chance of your child experiencing pressure points.

How Important is Sleep for Kids?

Science has continually proven quality of sleep plays a crucial role in a child’s growth and development. There have even been studies done on developing bedtime routines, and the positive impact it has on a child. A good night’s sleep plays a role in language development, literacy, child emotional regulation, child behavioral regulation, and family function.

Another study done explains the correlation between the quality of sleep and the release of a critical growth hormone, leading to a stronger and healthier body and immune system. Not enough nighttime sleep can lead to a higher BMI in children; doctors have found a direct correlation between lack of sleep and childhood obesity. Overall, quality sleep is critical for a child’s healthy development.
