Kids' Mattresses
There are a number of important points to remember when choosing the right mattress for your child. Children need quality sleep for their mental and physical development. This is especially important in early childhood, when children spent most of their time sleeping! We know children can't sleep soundly unless they are comfortable and the right support is crucial, too.
Our children's mattresses are perfect for growing children. They're specifically designed with their needs in mind. With fun, colourful designs featured in our collection of children's mattresses, they're sure to be a hit. Importantly, they also look every bit as good as they feel! If you’re looking for a wider range of products, you may want to consider some of our standard single mattresses.
Choose the right size mattress for your child, for the ultimate comfort and support they need to get a good night's sleep. Our superior collection of children's mattresses include smaller-sized mattresses, such as small single mattresses and small double mattresses. They're the perfect size for your little one.

Advice and buying guides
What type of mattress is best for kids?
The best type of kids mattress is one that supports your child's growth and development. Their mattress should be the correct size for their age, with enough room to grow. A kids mattress needs to be supportive, comfortable, breathable and ideally hypoallergenic, too. The best kids mattress should also be high-quality and durable, like our great range of Silentnight kids mattresses.
How to choose a mattress for kids
A useful thing to think about when choosing a child's mattress is will they grow out of it. Mattresses should be replaced every 7 years. Before purchasing a kids' mattress, consider the height of your child as well as your own height. If you think your child will exceed the length of the mattress within 7 years, consider a larger mattress.
Another important issues is whether your child has allergies. Check to see if the mattress contains any materials that may set off your child's allergies.
How firm should a mattress be for a child?
A kids mattress should be firm - without compromising on comfort - to best support their development. A supportive mattress helps encourage healthy and natural spinal alignment. This is true for everyone, but particularly important for children as they grow. All our kids mattresses and cot bed mattresses are highly supportive for this reason.
What size is a kids' mattress?
You can choose from a variety of kids mattress sizes, to best suit the needs of your child. We recommend:
- Cot mattress - 2'4" x 4'7" (70cm x 140cm) - best for babies and toddlers
- Continental cot mattress - 2' x 4' (60cm x 120cm) - fits a continental cot bed
- Small single mattress - 2'6" x 6'3" (75cm x 190cm) - best for young children
- Single mattress - 3' x 6'3" (90cm x 190cm) - most popular kids mattress size
- Small double mattress - 4' x 6'3" (120cm x 190cm) - best for teenagers
What type of children's mattress should I get?
You can choose from a wide range of children's mattresses. So long as the mattress is high-quality, durable, breathable and supportive, the type of kids mattress is up to you! We recommend hypoallergenic or pocket sprung kids mattresses for great support, comfort and a sneeze-free sleep.
Or, if you want to browse other mattresses suitable for children, our collection of single mattresses has everything you need.
Is memory foam good for kids?
Yes, a memory foam mattress is good for kids because it provides high levels of comfort and support for your child as they grow. Memory foam is naturally dust mite resistant and hypoallergenic, so it's a healthier choice.
