Kids Mattresses & Beds

How to choose a kids' bed and mattress?

Children have specific needs when it comes to their bed and mattress. Here's how to choose a child's bed and mattress:

1. Choose the right size mattress - small singles or singles are best for children, whilst you'll need a cot size for your baby
2. Choose the right bed, such as a bed frame, bunk bed or cot bed
3. Ensure the mattress is firm, breathable and hypoallergenic - especially if it's for your baby
4. Consider a waterproof mattress, or a mattress with a removable and washable cover for easy cleaning
5. Consider environmentally-friendly mattresses, such as Eco Comfort mattresses

What size is a child's bed and mattress?

You can choose from a number of size options for your child's bed and mattress:

• Cot size - 2'4" x 4'7" (70cm x 140cm) - best for babies and toddlers
• Continental cot size - 2' x 4' (60cm x 120cm) - perfect for a continental cot bed
• Small single size - 2'6" x 6'3" (75cm x 190cm) - great as a first bed
• Single size - 3' x 6'3" (90cm x 190cm) - perfect for your child as they grow

How much are kids' beds and mattresses?

Our kids' mattresses start at around £90 for a cot bed size and range up to around £360*. The prices of our kids' mattresses depend on the size and the type of mattress you are looking for.

For example, a small double kids' mattress will cost more than a cot bed or single mattress, and a kids' mattress with unique spring technology and sustainable fillings will cost more than a standard open coil kids' mattress.

Our kids' beds start at around £80 for a single size, and can range up to £520*. Like with kids' mattresses, this can depend on the size of bed you are looking for, the material of the bed and the storage options available.

For example, bunk beds are more expensive than standard kids' bed frames as they cost more to manufacture and have more safety considerations. A wooden bed will also cost more than a metal bed because the wood takes more time effort and investment to source for the manufacturers.
